So my current GMG is with the Last Hunt's attempts to trick people into thinking they're getting a special deal. To be fair, I do love that site and buy a ton of outdoor gear from there, but the way they do their "deals" is a bit irritating. For example, I go on there yesterday and find a few things I might like to purchase at 40% off, but ultimately think to myself, "nah, that's not a bad deal but not quite good to make me pull the trigger."

This morning, I wake up to a "secret sale" coupon code in my inbox for an extra 20% off any item - perfect, I think to myself; that pushes those items over the edge to a point where I'll buy them... Except I check and they've been changed to 25% off. 25% off stacked with a discount code is... 40% off. Nothing has changed.

I'm sure this works because people are stupid but it's a pretty annoying practice.
