the washing up liquid prime example.
week1 £1
week2 £1.20
week3 £1.50
week4 advertised sale £1.40
even the multi buy offers are getting very stingy. I am seeing things like £1 each or 2 for £1.90 a silly 5% discount. Not to mention still seeing things like normal price £1.80 sale price £2 on tescos website or £1 each or 2 for £2.50.

I don't think it's really a case of the media catching on. You have to remember that most media companies make money from advertising in one way or another. So apart from Watchdog, they like to keep quiet about it.

There are also so many labels on the shelves proclaiming some deal or other it's really difficult to spot the real bargains among the fakes.

Yes they do. And that's because most people aren't as observant as you, and don't notice. So they fall for it all the time.
