Merchants known as "costermongers" would gather, selling their off-price goods from carts and stalls. These early entrepreneurs offered the thrill of a treasure hunt, where quality products could be found at discounted prices. Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist, once wrote of his joy in discovering a bargain in one of these markets: "To Paul's Churchyard, and there bought me a pair of gloves, cost me 5s., and so to see the steeple, which is a brave place." I love that quote. Because there's actually a scientific reason Pepys was so pumped about those cheap gloves... something built into humans by evolution.

For consumers, these bargain retailers offer a borderline-addictive shopping experience of discovery, excitement, and value... like one giant dopamine hit that keeps you coming back for more.
