And if you get Clorox, it's only 2.56.

1. They downsized everything.
Rather than up the price, they just downsize the container. Then you realize the price per unit went up anyhow.

13. or just rename the sizes so that small is large, etc.
They've been ripping us off for awhile with that one.

3. Standing in line at the market the other day,
I glanced down at the candy bars on display.

I don't eat candy bars, so when I saw $.99 for a Mounds bar, I nearly screamed.

It's all such a damn ripoff.

Nothing is a pound any more - it's 12 or 14 ounces.

Cans of tuna are smaller, but still the same price.

A gallon, as mentioned, is not a gallon, either bleach or ice cream.

Soon, they'll figure out a way to downsize milk containers.........................

12. Yeah, I noticed cans of tuna today. Serves two instead of 3.5.
And I agree, the price of candy is through the roof.

4. A gallon of bleach has always had three quarts.
It's the absence of that fourth quart that matters... :silly:
