Publix brand yogurt has increased in price 25% during the last week. They just don't tell you. Last week, the container size was 8oz, and this week, it was reduced to 25% less, at 6 oz, though the price per container stayed the same. Usually, the food companies reduce the quantity only a little bit, or they will completely make-over the packaging. This 6 oz container felt like a baby-sized portion. I noticed it immediately. More profit for Publix for a while, until the price catches up to the container size.

isn't pasta now 13.25 oz. instead of 1 pound now for many brands?

After my manicure, I stopped by Publix, and they had a manager's special on large packs of chicken breasts. The packages said 20% off, and the price tag said $4.29 per pound. Yet the smaller packs that I normally buy said $3.99 per pound. A meat department employee just happened to be nearby. I asked him if the sticker price on the big packs included the 20% off. He said yes. I said that it didn't make sense that the large packs cost more per pound than the small ones. He said that it was a manager's special. I said, "A manager's special to charge more money?" Does not make sense to me.

They do this all the time - jack up the price, then "reduce it" as a special and make you think you're saving $$$. It's really easy to catch on certain items (like when a bottle of wine goes up $2 but is on special for it's regular price :roll, but I'm sure less OCD shoppers think they're getting bargains!

Next time you are at Publix, check the price of Head On. You are going to give yourself permanent damage!

Nah - I only monitor the prices of crab legs, artichokes, raspberries, and meat when shopping as they fluctuate frequently.

I usually only notice the "special markup" on alcohol items - a 6 pack of cider or bottle of wine's price jumping $2 in a week is a cause for concern! ;-)
