Are you saying that if they offer 10% off when you sign up to the newsletter, that will prevent you from buying a product from them at all? Why?

It makes you feel overcharged even with the discount, the product must actually be junk

I don't feel that way. A 10% discount simply sweetens the deal for a commodity (clothing, furniture, etc) I could get at many other places. It's the cost of acquiring a new customer.

The whole reason I'm stopping to look around is because every price tag just got 10% lower.

Because they are throwing money around which means they either have ridiculous margins or are just desperate for cash.
