Let's hope this can be adopted in NZ!

There's plenty of other major chains that jack up the prices to a silly level, and then benefit by:

a) idiots who pay the inflated price

b) gaining added sales by suckering people into buying the inflated product by offering them a discount (which may still be more than it's price prior to it being jacked up).

People can be suckers for pseudo savings like these.

True. Even our local Asian merchant stores and Trademe import sellers are like that. Though realtively cheap compared to retail - but far cheaper I have bought online.

Shouldn't shoppers look at what they are buying and check the prices first ?
