It's even more annoying when they change the package size and raise the price. Green Giant Peas were $2.29 for 1 Kg (a little more than 2 lbs) for ages. All of a sudden the package was 750 gms (3/4 of the size) and the price was raised to $3. 69. That's one huge increase. There's a lot of concern with fruit and vegetable growers in Canada right now as the government is trying to do away with standard containers. Packages could be any weight or size making it almost impossible for consumers to compare prices if this is changed. We are potato growers and it has been suggested that we run a test trial of 8 lb bags instead of the more common 10 lb size. We don't have the bags and the machinery and scales are not set up to do this. We can't see the advantage and it will cost everyone more to do this.
