Drip pricing

Drip pricing is when prices to buy something go up, or get more expensive, bit by bit or 'drip by drip.' This happens because companies add extra fees for things like taxes, delivery, or processing. So, even though you think you're paying the price you see first, when you get ready to buy, you'll see the price has gone up. It's like when you buy a big ice cream cone and the shop charges you extra for sprinkles - you probably weren't expecting to pay any more.
