raise the price so you can have a sale.

I have been tracking some items from November to Boxing day sale. Found 2 items that I wanted were cheaper in November, went up in Dec and are now the same price as the regular price in November except now it is "Boxing week sale price ". One was at Costco , a blue ray player went from 69.99 in Nov to 99.99 in December and is now back to 69.99 today. The other that was a Thomas toy that went from 15 to 25 and today as a boxing sale is down to $24, still more expensive than the Nov price

All the time, all types of stores. That's why it's important for us shoppers to do our due diligence!

The most recent example was Oldnavy.ca!
A pair of shoes were $15 on clearance.
There's now a code for 40% off clearance, so I went back to check and the shoes are now more expensive, even with the code. lol

i find black friday deals back in Nov were better than boxing day. Good thing my hubby got his cordless headset etc. in NOV and he just pointed out recently that the same stuff he bought in Nov are still less expensive than the ones advertised for Boxing Day even though they are "on sale" and some don't even go on sale.

Amazon has some ridiculous MSRP , and then they have a 70 % sign in front of it

i never trust their regular prices and msrp, overinflated. Other retailers too.

I agree OP. Costco is doing some interesting price changes. Like the 2 pack toilet brush set with 2 extra replacement brushes, $19.99. It is now one toilet brush with 2 replacement heads for $19.99

I saw that at SDM last year or the year before. The Boxing Day price that people were filling their carts with had been cheaper in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Sdm doesn't mark things down before boxing day?

I noticed this too! I saw a laptop at Best Buy for $899.99. On Boxing Day, the reg price changed to $999.99, with a sale price of $849.99. So yes there was a sale of ~$50 but they made it look as though the discount was $150! Big difference lol

[Decaf]

Same with Canadian Tire. Wanted to buy a vacuum at half off, before X-mas the price was $130, during boxing week price went up to $160.

Very interesting. I will have to pay attention. Thank you for sharing.........................

[seylz_gurl]

Oh they do, but the sale price before Boxing Day was lower than the Boxing Day sale price in this case. Not a great deal.

Well then you must have gotten a lot of great deals before Christmas.
