What is a problem with me , can not understand prices in supermarkets and not just in supermarkets

Example ,, Drinks

1.25 L any drinks cost, regular price 2.40

2 L same brand regular price 2.00 dollar

Same with many more products

Do you think that I am idiot or what ? What is a problem with my brain ?

Plane ticket Australia to Croatia

Return ticket..........1600.00

One Way ticket ......1800.00

???

Yeah, it is insane.

For example a sugary drink may cost $1.00 and a sugar free drink may cost $1.00.

One would think if they take the sugar out, it would be $0.75.

Where they really get people is single people.

A single person might want an 8 oz can of beans instead of a 16 oz can of beans.

Often the 8 oz can will cost as much or more as the 16 oz.

16 oz = $1.00
8 oz = $1.02

most of the cost of a product is in the package, a 8 oz can or bottle has about same packaging content as a 16 oz, hence why bulk is always cheaper.

the one way flight is not normal as you can find one way cheaper then round trips sometimes, but many airlines do offer a discount if you book round trip with them.

Printers Cartridges Reffils , black plus colour ...............75.00
New Printers with both cartridges...............................35.00

throw away consumerism.

The solution is so easy...don't pay for anyhing Be a outlaw.

Its a marketing strategy profit margin for most things is above 200%,they sell more by making it cheaper for more and end up still making a very good profit,eg 300ml coke Rs25,2Lt Rs 70 one free total 4L coke for Rs70 they still make profit but end up selling more .

yup...it's a pure mind game....they want you to think that they are giving you more for less price but all they want to do is sell you something.... it's a mental torture really.

Used to own a small retail store...so a bit about prices.

2 liters were bulk packed, thrown on the shelf, no worries, no hassle.

The smaller bottles, tediously removed from the plastic, placed in the cooler,

one small bottle at a time, labor intensive. That cooler sits and runs 24 hours

per day, consuming costly electricity. And just in case it is being overlooked....

It takes many thousands of sales to recover the cost of that cooler....

And then when it comes time to process at the cash register....that small item

labor cost is the same as the larger bottle....

The large bottle is sold hot. The customer purchasing the smaller bottle may drink

it immediately, cold....

So the cheaper, hot 2 liter has an additional cost. The consumer must purchase a refrigerator

or ice, or make ice in the freezer, pay the cost of that cooling process.......AND then provide

a container to put the liquid into....another cost....disposables are expensive....and a glass

that is washed requires soap, hot water, and the consumer's valuable labor....soap and hot

water are not cheap.....

I will pay the higher price, gladly for a cold beverage that I can consume immediately.
