K, I'm sure you all know that you have to look at labels on stuff even when it's on sale cuz you may not be getting that great of a deal. Here's the thing that erks me and made me crazy the other day while shopping. I can't exactly remember the story since I'm so old and can't remember *&^%, so I'll tell you the gist of it. I was comparing 2 different brands of a cheaper bar soap and found that they were priced about the same with the same amount of bars in each package but if you look at the one brand, each soap was only 4 oz. and if you looked at the other brand each soap was 4.5 oz. but I think that the 4 oz. pack was a little cheaper but I'm like wait a second, you get 1 more bar in the other pack for a tad more expensive (like maybe cents, I don't remember) so duh, I'm going to get that one!
The other one is Dryers ice cream. You probably all know by now that they have lessoned it to under 1 gallon but kept the price the same and changed the look. They are so clever...NOT. Their excuse to do that was they didn't want the consumers price to go up but they needed to adjust because the world is going to pot (going to pot is my commentary but you get the picture). So anywho, I seriously think they were just trying to hide and see how long it took people to even notice cuz I'm sure there are those that didn't, unlike me, I noticed right away that the carton looked smaller so I looked to see what was up and low and behold, they did make it smaller and then I saw it on the news.
What a bunch of losers these companies are, trying to rip us off with the slightest of hands. I'm sure you are all aware of this stuff but I'm just peeved about it after the whole soap incident so beware, don't let them get you!
