pig in a poke definition and meaning

What is the origin of the idiom "a pig in a poke" and when to use it?

The idiom "a pig in a poke" originates from medieval Europe when market sellers would deceive buyers by placing a small, low-value animal like a cat in a bag (a "poke") instead of the more valuable pig they had promised. Figuratively, this expression is used to refer to the act of buying something without inspecting it first, often leading to disappointment or deception.
