In reply to the discussion: Grocery store today [View all]appleannie1
(5,479 posts)15. About 2 yrs ago I bought a head of cabbage that way.
There was a huge box of heads of cabbage and the sign simply said "$.69. I thought 'boy, that's a steal' and bought a huge head. When I got home and looked at the receipt, it was almost $5.00. When I went to the store the next time, I asked about it. The produce guy said "it mean per pound". I simply said "Well damn it. Say that on the sign". I must not have been the only one that complained because they took a magic marker and marked the sign after that.

Trash bags at the hardware store (even the big box store type) are half the price of the grocery stores.

They only charge what the market will bear. No point offering for $12.00 what will sell only for $5.00.
