I was walking through the store yesterday, and I noticed that the "5 pound"
bags of sugar (of all producers) were now all 4 pounds.. (and the price PER
BAG was also up from last year, fwiw).
Since I almost always buy by the "unit", e.g., can, bag, box, etc. rather
than by the weight, I don't really pay close attention to the "unit's"
weight
I realize there has been a lot of "downsizing" of the quantity without
any commensurate lowering of price (a lot of candy bars put out in new
displays in the past few weeks, e.g., ), but when did the "old standards"
like sugar make that change?
(FWIW 2 - It also looks like the price per pound of sugar is up almost 100%
over last year.)
They try it with everything. My buddy did some design work for a local plant that cans stuff for Wally. He said they set up a line at Wallys request to package 4 packs instead of 6 packs. The stated intent was that if it had the usual plastic ring carrier no one would notice they just bought a 4 pack for the 6 pack price.
