The big retailers will soon want to move Halloween to earlier in the year so the Christmas spending can start earlier.....

All the shite they cant sell over the year. Hoy it on at cost price, or gradually increase the price over the year, to make it seem like a cracking discount, to make way for the xmas gear.

I've seen stuff I've bought, with them using the same tactics you describe.
I'm surprised a lot more people don't realise what they do

Yes! Saw people complaining about Argos 3 for 2 on toys. They'd put toys in their basket online ready for when the 3 for 2 started. When the offer came on, all the prices of the toys went up so there wasn't any money saving.
