So the saying goes, you get what you pay for, however that certainly doesn’t seem to be the case with these products.
A new online gallery compiled by BoredPanda has revealed the very cheeky ways in which companies dupe their customers into getting less than what they bargained for.
In many cases misleading packaging has left shoppers feeling short changed including bathroom products with the container barely half full.
In other cases businesses appear to promise their patrons amazing deals before they catch sight of the small print.
Whether its offering what appears to be free beer or a very scary substitute for Spongebob for these shoppers the price certainly wasn’t right.
