Minimalist conceptual illustration for an article about the illusion of discounts. A large red price tag with Russian text "СКИДКА 50%" and a crossed-out old price "300 ₽", next to a new price "150 ₽". The tag is attached to an empty shopping cart. In the background, a subtle price history graph line: flat, then a sharp spike up, then a drop. Clean white background, flat design, simple geometric shapes, limited palette: red, black, grey, white. Ironic tone. All text in Russian: "СКИДКА 50%", "300 ₽", "150 ₽", "ЦЕНА". --ar 16:9
