- The consumer watchdog has accused Coles and Woolworths of unlawfully misleading customers through “discount pricing claims”. The latest Roy Morgan trust data tells us that Coles and Woolies are some of Australian shoppers’ least trusted brands. Yet so many of us can't help but gravitate towards their “special buys”. So, what keeps drawing us in? Consumers are drawn to reduced prices in a cost-of-living crisis, but psychological factors can also significantly influence our purchasing behaviours. In today’s deep dive, we’ll explore the science behind supermarket discounts, and how consumer behaviour influences retailers’ tactics.

The neurological explanation is a misuse of science. Pretty much anything exciting or enjoyable will cause a "spike of chemicals" in the brain, and that is because neurotransmitter activities are literally the physical correspondence to emotions. So, that explanation doesn't actually explain anything other than "An exciting thing causes brain activities associated with excitement."
Train yourself to look at the $/100g labels at the bottom of the price tag. The supermarkets make the print tiny, but they're legally obligated to show them.
Yeah bulk buying and bargain hunting is akin to dopamine trips
