When an Art Supplies Sale isn’t a Sale

So a certain art supplies company is having a “sale” on Liquitex heavy body acrylic!

Woohoo right!? Discounted art supplies for the win!

Wrong.

That sales price is the same as it always is. I took a quick glance through all the prices for Liquitex acrylic from September 6th 2015 and today (1/18/2016) and can’t seem to find a single price that is different.

Which is disappointing… because art supplies are so expensive and it is so hard to keep track of what is and is not a fair price for what you’re trying to buy.

Anyways, I guess the point is never trust a “sale”.

See what I mean:
