The Price Ain't Right

This is probably silly and trivial but I'm sure I've posted sillier and more trivial things on this blog. I continue to be amazed that big companies do this. I copied it off the website for Ralphs Market, which is what they call Kroger Markets in what's left of California.

These were on the same page: Your chance to buy four 14. 5 ounce cans of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti & Meatballs for five bucks or you can buy the same four cans with a wrapper around them for $1.49 more.  And I'm guessing that if you go into the store, these are right next to each other on the shelf and enough people buy the four-pack for the store to continue to stock them…and those customers think they're getting a bargain.

The last time I pointed this out, the four-pack was $6.29.  By the end of the year, it'll probably be seven bucks.
