A reader today points out a deceptive ad at Big
Lots for strollers:

Wondered if anyone
else has had problems with bait and switch ads at Big

Lots.

I
saw an ad for a $39.99 Caddy Stroller with the Safety 1st brand name,

but a picture of a Chicco Caddy Stroller in
the Big Lots flyer for Aug
17-21. I was
confused about the brand difference, but thought I might

get a deal. It was worth a trip
out.

I went to Big Lots and they had a
completely different Safety 1st
stroller.

I asked management and
apparently sometimes headquarters uses pictures

in the ads that don’t represent the actual
merchandise on sale! {Only
they phrased it as
“sometimes they use different pictures”} Sounds like

this happpens regularly. It’s definitely not
ethical. Might even be

illegal?

I
can snail mail you the flyer if you’d like. Here’s the page of the ad:
