! A gallon of bleach has three quarts in it now. |
|
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.

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:
