I've said it before and I'll repeat it here in case it was missed:

If you shop by unit pricing, it doesn't matter if the package is 28 oz
or 32 oz. You're paying for what you're getting - no one cheated, no
one lied. They simply raised the price by charging you the same amount
for less product - but they clearly informed you of the price increase
by posting the unit price on the shelf right next to the product.

It is your attitude that allows the marketers to get away with sleaze.
For decades, ice cream came in half gallons, sugar in five pound bags,
coffee in one pound containers. Why, suddenly, do theyhave to be made
smaller? Only to give the perception to the consumer that they are
getting the same product at the same price.

If you think this is OK, it will not be long before new cars are delivered
with three tires, flags with 47 stars, and coming next month, two leafed
clovers. At least crayons still have the 7 primary colors.



10 out of 50 things on your grocery list go up by $1.00, and now maybe
you're $10 over your budget. Some fat slobs will forgo vegetables and keep
the ice cream in the shopping cart, but normal people will focus on the
essentials.
