Overpriced shit at grocery stores

[Godzuki]

i don't get why some shit is so expensive consistently at groceries.

for example potato chips. the big bags are like $3.99 consistently, but they always have deals like 'buy 2 for $5~'....then you see a smaller bag about half the size of the big bag selling for like $1 at the checkout and i'm thinking WTF kind of sense does that make? how hard is it to even make potato chips in mass quantities, and they want to sell big bags normal retail for $3.99?


then theres shit like paper plates. i swear i used to see these for like $1~, but now theyre like $2.99 minimum. its fukking paper...i can get a 500ct of copy paper for like $2~

even cereal is way overpriced. Shit is like $4-5~ for a box. thats just not right.

a lot of stuff at groceries, in fact most stuff, is very cheap(non organic) like vegetables especially, and reasonably priced, but i swear when i look at some common stuff while grocery shopping i always think how the hell does some of this cost that much?!!

i was even looking at Old Bay the other day selling for like $8 a cannister

i agree man. Chicken breast should not be 4.99 for a fcking pound. They should go back to 50 cents for a pound like the good old days.

You gotta look throughout the whole meat section.

If you see something for $4.99, say "that's cool, but I can beat that meat!"
Look a little deeper and find a $4.09 package. You're getting warmer, $3.49.

But you can "beat that meat!" BAM, $2.89.

i now have a mental image of Chris Farley finding a package of $2.89 meat and screaming "Bam Beat my meat"

I also hate Albertsons because they try to rip people off. If a meat is about to expire they'd put it on "sale": buy 1 get one 1, or buy 1 get 2 free. But their price per pound would be like 14.99 a pound, beef/chicken breast. I'm like WTF is this sh1t when i saw it.

So they'd just double or triple the normal price per pound when they do that sale thing, which would come out to be the same price as before. But the un-aware, or the people who are naturally inclined to buy everything that are on "sale", just go ahead and buy them only because there is "free" in the keywords.

They don't even take a minute to read the price per pound. I mean who the fck would buy chicken or beef for 15 dollars a pound.

i mean i was literally at that store the day before the sale and the price of those things were 4.99 a pound, which i wouldn't buy for that price in a billion years. Rip the fck off.

Why are you buying paper plates. Grow up and wash some dishes. Stop eating cereal and have a real breakfast, or get right to the point and have sugar and milk; it'll be cheaper.

OP, time for some economics and marketing classes if this is going over your head.

Paper plates

Damn, is ISH too good for paper/plastic plates now? Maybe it's for a party or get together. I doubt his dishes consist of paper plates, jelly jars and plastic silverware and album covers for place-mats.
