I've been seeing this more and more on Amazon. Sometimes it seems there is no way they could have arrived at the number.
Then they are stupid. Everyone knows that the price per ounce should be the price per ounce of actual product.
Bone-in is a well-known and often prized attribute. Adding the tray and the film isn't right.
Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.
But a box can weigh more than an ounce..maybe 2...a can might weigh 5 ounces..a bag...not much
Well, according to the price per ounce on that first bag of coffee he mentions, that would mean the bag weighed over 6 ounces. That bag does NOT weigh 6 ounces. According to Google, an empty bag weighs half an ounce.
When you go to a Deli, the weight of the container is removed, so you only pay for the weight of the product .... at least where I shop.
I would think that the Vendor/Maker of the product would have a say in it, showing the Correct weight ...
I remember when a pound of coffee was 16oz. Now its 12oz, they don't call it a pound anymore and its three times the cost of the 16oz pound.
