Probably caused by decouling between buy price and realised sell price.

And this brings me to what also is truly good at, they own the full chain and leverage it.
There are certain products I notice that only come in stock some years and it seems like they're made out of excess produce.
I.e. a cereal I like is made entirely out of these chunky things that usually go in as additives to other cereals. It looks like they only stock it when they have a cheap wheat price.
Another one is the nut bars and what kind of fruits they have mixed in.

- Griffinsauce 7y agoThe "cheese" part is also questionable...
- Zarel 7y agoI assume this is a metaphor. But even for products that _are_ byproducts, it seems like the correct solution is to sell the less-popular one at a lower price.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoOr... not buy it, as c3534l suggested. The fact that I produce egg whites and egg yolks together doesn't mean everyone who buys my whites is obligated to also buy a proportional quantity of yolks. That would defeat the whole purpose of separating them in the first place.
- lugg 7y agoIt wouldn't defeat the purpose at all but it is along the lines of the point I was making. The yolks are a by product no matter what. There was an interview on the Daily show or last week tonight where they made fun of a guy eating a plate of fried eggs that looked like 5 yolks and 2 egg whites. My guess, the dinner sells a lot of eggwhite omelettes and makes use of the extra yolks as another option for other people to buy. In the supermarket scenario, the supplier only has one customer and has to somehow make them buy both no matter what.
