ACCC sues Coles and Woolworths over allegations of illusory' discounts on common products
Briefly

"Many consumers rely on discounts to help their grocery budgets stretch further, particularly during this time of cost of living pressures. It is critical that Australian consumers are able to rely on the accuracy of pricing and discount claims."
"We allege that each of Woolworths and Coles breached the Australian consumer law by making misleading claims about discounts, when the discounts were, in fact, illusory."
"The promotional prices were misleading... they were higher than or the same as the product's regular long-term price before the temporary price spike."
"The ACCC alleges the conduct involved 266 products for Woolworths and 245 products at Coles, affecting everything from chocolate biscuits to instant coffee and tissues."
