Stores are blocking this trick: how to buy goods with a 90% discount legally

21.02.2025 11:10

You see the price tag "9990 rubles" and sigh, but a minute later you pay 900. How?

It's all about secret codes that cashiers are not allowed to reveal to you. For example, a sticker with a green dot on the package means that the product is about to be written off.

Go to the employee and say: "Do you have any expired stock?" In 80% of cases, they will offer you a discount of up to 70%, just to get rid of the goods.

Another loophole is products with damaged packaging. Find a box with a dent or a torn corner and demand an additional discount.

According to internal rules, stores are required to mark down such goods twice: first automatically, then at the customer’s request.

But the main secret is the sales after the holidays. On January 10, go to the department with Christmas trees and garlands. Prices are already reduced by 50%, but if you ask the manager to "clean up the junk", the discount will increase to 90%.

Buy jewelry for pennies and sell it next November - get 1000% profit.

And don't forget about cashback apps. Buy goods through them and then return them to the store without a receipt - by law, you are required to get your money back.

Cashback will remain on your account. Stores hate this scheme, but they can’t ban it.
