>In one supermarket (davka not in the charedi sector) there was a
sign in the baked goods department explaining that the weight of the
package was actored into the pricing of the goods.  Isn't this an
easier way around this problem? >>

<<If they are selling something by the
kilo, then the package weight is fixed while the weight of the
goods changes depending on how much I buy.  So even if they
discount the per kilo weight, if two people buy different amounts
of baked goods but are given the same size box, then the one who
buys less effectively pays more per kilo.>>

Again the example of the speaker was putting two sets of baked goods
into the box with different prices for the baked goods.
The result is that the same box has a different price depending on the
contents. So factoring in the price doesnt mean very much.
