Looking like a deal, costing less and being worth buying are different questions.

Illustration, not a perception test

Your reaction is not measured or recorded. No claim is made that everyone feels the difference.

What this can—and cannot—show

The price changes by $0.01, which is 0.1% of $10.00. The bottle, quantity, type size and before-tax conditions stay the same. The display lets you inspect that comparison; it does not measure a psychological effect or reproduce a controlled study.

Price judgments, price recall, purchase intentions and actual purchases are different outcomes. A small change in a label cannot establish how everyone reacts or whether an extra purchase is useful.
