The per 100g price makes it seem like the 1kg (bottom) item is cheaper than the 2kg one.
I wonder how many people are baited into getting the more expensive item (by weight).
the per 100g price on the bottom is incorrect. they are 70 cents per 100g… or I’m too high. choosing by weight is literally the frugal method.
edit: try living out of a vending machine - if you only have a dollar, you should buy the item with most weight and presumably most calories
Surprise, the heaviest $1 item was a 1500 g bottle of still water…
Well the second heaviest then
You should shop by ingrediends and ecological reasons. That’s sadly not represented by $/g.
The heavier product with the better “bang for the buck” is usually the one with the poorest quality and lots of sugar/additives/flavours/etc.
Discounter products like “Great Value” can easily have a better quality than stuff produced by “Kraft” and other Unilever/Nestle/etc. products.
Checking the ingredients list and the nutrition table should be a natural first instinct when grabbing something off the shelf.
What? How can my comment possibly be voted down?
While you’re not wrong that people should probably shop that way, if they can. It feels tone deaf, as many people can barely afford groceries in the first place, so shopping by cost per weight/calorie is almost a requirement.
At least I think that’s what’s happening.
Definitely what happened. OP sounds pretentious being like “you should be”.
yeah sounds way entitled. like people always have a choice of price to ingredient. sounds like someone who have never paid rent.
Thanks for stereotyping. I have and am still paying rent for all my life and the rest of it.
“Should” is meant here for a better/good way do do things. If it is not possible, a “should” just is not applyable, it is a “should” after all.
Maybe this is a language/cultural/mental perspective misunderstanding.
Over here, peanut butter is an EXTREMELY costly delicacy. To have a store sell it in 2kg portions for less than 10usd looks like a dream to me.
You people need to better appreciate what you have
It’s great value peanut butter. It is easier to clarify that as a semi solid oil than actual peanut butter. Feel free to be jealous but that’s not ‘good’ peanut butter. It’s better than nothing but only just.
Oh don’t worry, I am sure that whatever we get sent down here for exports is of inferior quality than your worst quality product
But feel free to expose how no one has it worst than you guys as an excuse to complain
