Supermarkets are sneaky and dishonest

Something I have noticed a lot of lately is shelving at the end of aisles. 3 brands of products, the middle one has a "Special" price tag. The products either side have no price.
Sneaky in that elderly people with not good eyesight might think everything on that shelf is the "Special" price.
Some people would be caught out, thinking they are getting the special price, when in fact they will pay full price.

"Buy 2 for $8" single price $5.20. You buy 2 and spend $2.80 more than you really intended.

Any sneaky tactics you notice at your supermarkets?

The grocery stores here show a sales price but only if you buy the multiple of the product. Like $1.99 sales price if you buy 3 otherwise $2.49 a piece. What stands out is a sales tag for $1.99.
