Caveat Emptor And Watch That Yogurt

OK, so this is about Greek Yogurt,  but it's mostly about how American consumers have to be awake all the damn time.

I went to the grocery store today and on my list was yogurt.  The kind we normally get, Chobani, wasn't on sale according to the store advertisement, so I was going to pick up some Oikos, which is made by Dannon.  

So I was about to pick up the Oikos containers, which were on sale, when I noticed that they seemed kind of small.   Upon checking, I noted that they were 5.3 ounce containers, while the Chobani containers were 6 ounces.   Some quick arithmetic told me that the .7 ounce difference amounted to seven ounces on 10 containers.   Which is more than a full container difference.   So, buying the Chobani product, which actually was on sale at a $1 per container, was a hugely better deal at essentially the same price and gave me an additional container of yogurt.

You have to keep your eyes open all the time, because corporations are always on the prowl for a way to increase their profit at our expense.  Caveat Emptor indeed.
