I'm doing that these days at the grocery store. If your shit ends in an odd number, I'm assuming it's been shrinkflated. OJ bottle of 1.87 liter? Pass.

- galdosdi 2y agoWhat? Why don't you just look at unit prices instead? That's the only price I ever look at and other than edge cases like trying new things or goods that you can't use up fast enough, there's no reason to look at anything else. If your store doesn't have them, that's a sign you're at the wrong store and everything is overpriced. Teach your kids this PS: Walmart, which has pretty good prices, is famous for odd prices everywhere, so your heuristic would fail. All in all, really, a heuristic like this is a pretty weak way to try to be frugal and I can't recommend it. Just check the unit prices and shop at Aldi. Buy commodity ingredients, not trademarked factory food products. You can't help but spend a fraction of what other folks do when you just buy commodities by the unit price at a store serious about prices.

- pc86 2y agoYou know what they say about assuming.
