Deceptive pricing. New World.
I know this goes on, but this was my first encounter for a while. Just a friendly reminder.
I am not a regular shopper for fruit and veggies; my daughter normally buys them.
My body felt like a meal with sprouts, so I searched for the best price. Eventually, I found this outlandish, almost too obvious, case of deceptive profiteering.
For me, there are three issues.
1) The loose sprouts are placed $7.99 kg above the other $5.99 on the bottom, which is bagged. Those on the bottom are also on the club special card.
2) At first sight, it looks as though the bagged sprouts are cheaper. A second look shows that the pre-packed only has 400gm, not 500gm which I was expecting, which makes it $14.98 or $17.48 without a club card.
3) The loose sprouts at $7.99 kg do not need a card, so the comparison for a non-card holder is $7.99 vs $17.48.
How is the average person supposed to work this out?. Plus this is only one item,

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
