This kind of thing goes on all the time in supermarkets. I see throught it straight away. If it's an item I don't normally buy, rather than doing like most of the sheep, I think twice about why they're giving 50% extra "free" (usually because they're not).
Same as HMV etc, who raise prices on CDs and then drop them for the sales so they're the same as they were before just with a big "SALE" sticker on them.
No difference, it's just all a con.
