Priced At

I'll just ask everyone around here who might be reading this: what comes to mind when you see this picture below?



When you look at it, you might noticed that the package is around 8 pesos. And since it was a bargain, we got 3 of these.

However, when we were at the cashier, imagine our horror when it was priced at 8 pesos PER PIECE!

Some of you might blame me for not reading carefully. However, I believe that this tactic is just plain DECEPTIVE. And this is my second time encountering their dirty tactics.

First, why would they put four pieces of tofu in a package and then labeled it as 8 pesos? Given that there was a PC on the upper portion of the product but it should have been labeled as 8 pesos/PC or just indicate the total amount which is 32 pesos.

So before this day ends, I would like to warn everyone to be always cautious of the price tag and the content when shopping. As for that well known supermarket: You got it all for the people, alright but label your products CLEARLY. You might want to revisit the Consumer Act.
