Eh, the one that says “Save 33%” is a third off, and the one underneath, which says “Half Price” on the label, is half price.
Two different products, one half price, the other a third off. Not rocket science.
You just need to flick the eyes up and down, up and down. Not trompe-l’œil. Upstairs it states 25.28 per litre – who wants to consume a litre of toothpaste? I didn’t know toothpaste is a liquid.
They’ve put the Half Price sign on the Save A Third shelf. That could easily confuse a stupid person.
But if something is now (say) 66¢ and was originally 99¢, then yes, it’s a third off AND you’ve saved half its current price.
So the saving is 1.56 (4.72-3.16), which is 49.367% of the current price, or nearly half. By gods, you’re right.
