Yeah, it's not home repair. But, it's an open forum. Have the moderatoremail me.Red Baron microwave pizza singles. Pack of two pizzas, plus the foil heat uptray. About $3.49 at Wegmans. I'm in walmart, and they have the same thingfor about three bucks. I buy a couple, and figure I'm saving money.Got the pizzas home, and opened one today. It's really tiny. About half inchdiameter smaller than the Wegmans version. Thin, and light, too. I look atthe box from Wegmans, I had a while ago. It's 12 ounces. The Walmart one is6.80 ounces. Blast! Same price, and half the food?Just finished cooking one, and I'm still hungry. The second one is in themicrowave. If I'd been eating Wegmans version of Red Baron Singles, I'd besatisfied with one. Not much savings, here. While I was throwing away thepackage, I see they are "thin and crispy". Not the deep dish I am used to.

Sounds like you are comparing two different products. (invalid comparison)

Yes, its what happens when "everyday low prices" and not actual value becomes the common way of thinking.

Thinking of signs, I remember an Arby's selling "roast bee sandwiches".
