I am always unsure whether to believe if something is on 'sale'. I know many stores inflate the price of their products, just before discounting these prices as they put their 'sale' signs up. I don't think it is uncommon for stores to fabricate their sales offers. I've also seen supermarkets who claim a product is on 'special' but I know that I saw it for a slightly cheaper price two weeks earlier. Does the term 'sale' make people spend? Just because an item is on 'sale' or marked down, are you more likely to purchase the product than before?

Australians are emotionally affected by the lack of sizing consistency, with one in two revealing they feel frustrated, fat or depressed when they don't fit into their usual size in clothes. Clothing may now be cheaper since it's been imported from China, but it's also very depressing when you find styles you like but their are taylored to chinese sizings. It is very hard for some people to find the right size that fits our bodies and is a constant issue that arises when we go shopping.
