Errr...maybe because in some cases they're not available anymore? But you know what, even if they are, it doesn't mean I'm going buy it. What if, due to a sale or coupons, the unit price of the smaller container of Ice Cream is less than that of the bigger one? As I've said quite a few times before: it's all about the unit price, not the size of the container.
I don't need to make my voice heard. It appears you've missed my point during this entire discussion It doesn't bother me that they've kept the price the same and lowered the quantity. They haven't fooled me. They haven't "ripped me off". I know exactly what they're doing: They're raising the unit price and as long as consumers are aware of that what difference does it really make? No matter how you look at it they've raised the price.
Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as
15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs. Not if it's marked as 15lbs.So what? If I don't read the label then I'm a lousy consumer. It's my responsibility not the manufacturer's. I don't need my hand held by a manufacturer's rep (via some big sign) when I pick up the tank and I don't need a store employee stopping me and asking if I know how much fuel is in the tank. It's my responsibility to be aware of what I'm buying, nobody else's.
Then I guess you haven't been ripped off. Good for you.
