Grocery store today [View all]

and we bought apples. I thought, 1.29 a pound isn't bad....they were 1.29 each (in tiny print under the price, it said each).

I don't mind paying more, but FFS, just be honest about it!

Bananas were priced as "each" as well. This is new and a lot of people won't notice right away.
