See, they beat you too. It would still be a 14.3% increase in the smaller
package, just a smaller cash outlay at the time of purchase as they "hide"
the increase. .

Was that a serious response? All you did was reword the exact point I
was making.

Read what you wrote. " *'cuz it's one or the other."

Read what you wrote.

Understand what I wrote.

Could be interpreted as the choice is a smaller package or a price
increase.

Sure, if you ignore the context of everything else we've said in this
discussion.

You started this part of the discussion by saying that my attitude
(shop by unit pricing and ignore the size of the package) was letting
them get away with "sleaze". I gave in - I said don't buy ice cream
until they go back to 64 oz. I also added that when it does, we would
have no right to complain when the price jumped by 14.3% because when
viewed from a unit price perspective it's the same thing.

"One or the other" is a choice between 56 oz for $5.49 or 64 oz $6.29.
I'll let you do the math to determine the unit price. I believe you'll
find very little difference, which is why I say "Who gives a crap what
size package anything comes in?"
