| Used Car Sales This reminds me of used car sales people. Haggle, haggle, and that price does not include tax, lic, spare tire, floor mats . . . . . ARRRGGHHH!
I thought we (as a society) were past this type of bate and switch. Next we will find out that grocery stores will be adding fee's to the real price - Oh wait, they all ready do that by only showing the discounted card cost and not real cost with out card.
I think cell phone bills are the worst in "mis"representing the true per month cost. Get you in with low monthy ad's, but wait until you get first bill - Ka-ching $$$ |

1 edit | Dirty grocery tactics I also particularly hate it when food makers sneak in "new and improved" packaging that's a few ounces less than before without lowering the price. Danon and now Giant Eagle(1) have done this with yogurt (used to be 8 oz., now they're 6 oz.). That Pierre's(2) (and others too) half-gallon is now a few ounces shy of a half-gallon. Same goes for orange juice (watch out for that new plastic "carafe" jug!)
(1) Giant Eagle is a regional grocery store chain HQ'ed in Pittsburgh. They have stored in PA, OH, maybe WV?
(2) In case you haven't heard of Pierre's, it's a local brand popular in NE Ohio.
EDIT: Changed title to "Dirty grocery tactics" to more accurately refect what I'm talking about. |

kudos:4 | NOBODY makes a pound can of coffee with a pound of coffee in it anymore.
remember 5 pound bags of sugar/flour? theyre all 4 pounds now(a sneaky way to increase price 20%)
remember 10 pound bags of ice? (now theyre 7pounds(price increase of 30%)
and the biggest ripoff: Potato chips! we pay up to 4 dollars for something that is 80% air!!!!!!!!
