In this interview, Massimiliano Dona explains how consumers can discern truly advantageous supermarket offers from mere marketing tricks. He outlines the legal definition of a valid discount in Italy—requiring the display of the previous price, the discount percentage, a crossed‑out old price, and a new price—while noting the difficulty of verifying whether the old price is genuine. Dona describes practical consumer tactics such as lifting price tags to compare paper versus electronic labels, highlighting that electronic tags are often automatically updated and may show identical prices, whereas paper tags can reveal hidden or even lower underlying prices. He then shifts to the most reliable savings: products nearing their expiration date, which can offer 40‑60 % discounts if consumers can safely consume them. Finally, he clarifies the legally regulated “sottocosto” (below‑cost) sale, where a retailer must prove the purchase price is higher than the selling price, and discusses why supermarkets may still employ such pricing strategies.
