How Unit Pricing Will Help You Save On Shopping

July 10th, 2009 at 4:29 AM

Cost and computing power is not the issue (and never was). Supermarkets like confusing their customers and make money from the confusion. Is the 835gm “Value Pack” really better value than the 500gm regular pack? often not.

Woolworths in Perth have been using unit pricing on most lines for almost a year now, but still do not use it on all labels even where pricing has changed and the label recently printed. So they are still hiding some unit costs.

Coles finally started a couple of weeks ago, but only seem to be showing it on the specials so far. Which means there are no regular labels to compare the unit pricing with.

I haven’t seen it used in any of the IGA’s.

Unfortunately I think it’s unlikely we will see true unlimited/uncapped plans here again.

Even in the US they are starting to introduce caps (though far more generous than here).
