"Outsmart" the supermarket: Tip 2
2. Pay attention to package sizes.
Top 10 Ways to Outsmart the "Super" Marketers
Does "10% More Free" get you to buy extra product? Some products, beverages in particular, are already in larger packages, giving us more than the label says to insure that they don't run the risk of being short weight, which is sure to get the FDA's attention and fines. Don't think that little extra isn't built into the price already! So when you see the "extra free" label, make sure it's not the same size package with a special label.
Top 10 Ways to Outsmart the "Super" Marketers
