But some things if its something you always buy then its either been conned ie. buying it or deliberatly not buy something you want/need for the sake of avoiding been ripped off.

The trouble is that most people don't even realise that they have been ripped off.
I only shop on line from supermarkets occasionally, but I presume it is even more difficult to spot which offers are genuine when shopping on line?

That's the problem, especially if as for some people in rural areas, they may only be able to use one on line supermarket.

Not just supermarkets, but most of the big retailers (and some not so big).

Maybe not robbing, but they are conning people. This is still dishonest, and they still can't blame the customer.
Like many sales tactics used these days, they are just hoping that people won't check the details.
