Folks this is not math this is simple division. Wonder why we don't have jobs... to many are clueless about the basics but we know what the Hollywood crowd is up to and they too are clueless. God help america
Why not? Some people rather pay less for less than pay more for more, even if the math doesn't make any sense. If the corporations sell less for higher price - it means the product price went up. We see it all the times. People are generally more sensitive to changes in prices than to changes in quantity.
By paying attention to the product size, weight and price per ounce, fl oz, or price per piece. Most companies reduce products quietly, hoping consumers are not reading labels too closely.
However you don't HAVE to buy what's on the shelf. If that concerns you, you might want to compare prices and sizes with other stores.
Not what i mean. How does a consumer know if the liquid detergent is "super concentrate" when it comes out of the bottle looking the same as the regular. I think it's a scam and i still use the same amount of detergent i used too before everything went "super concentrated"
I can't speak for everyone i don't know what the hundreds of millions of consumers prefer. Some people rather pay less for less? That's not what i'm talking about. I'm talking about paying the same price or higher for less quantity. Yes i guess a lot of people are more sensitive on price hikes but price hikes combined with making products smaller doesn't fly with me.
Noticed that not one company out there have passed the cost savings with the lower price of gas on to consumers.
Everything from airline, food delivery, transportation, and produce companies hiked prices a lot when the price of gas avg almost $4/gallon and that was in 2014. In 2015 as gas price decreased, the price of food & services have not dropped but increased even though the gas prices are about 30-50% less than they were back in 2014.
Food has been substantially lower in the last two quarters of 2016. Year over year sales of most publicly held
grocery chains have been lowering their revenue forecasts for months.
Who is this we? You got a mouse in your pocket? I don't fall for this stuff.
You don't fall for it? You pretty much don't have a choice because 90% of food that is sold is this way. They know most people are in love with their favorite food so not matter what the company changes the consumers will always fork over the money to buy it.

Could have fooled me. Another scam is the 2 for $6 but if you buy one it's $3.99 type deals. 3 12 packs of soda for $11.99 but you must buy 3. More and more supermarkets are forcing people to buy in "bulk" to get any type of savings. Used to be you can buy one case of soda and save some but no it's $5.99 a case if you buy one.
