               both legitimate and shifty sales techniques. This episode
               reveals how some retailers might be tricking people into
               buying 50 quid HDMI cables, when in reality they could be
               buying a cable that is just as good for a fifth of the
               price. The show also takes over an independent supermarket
               to discover how effective price slashes are, and conducts a
               'vintage' fashion test in a Liverpool clothes store

               what is the best way to way to start your day when it comes
