Consumer Beware

listen

Just once I'd like to be able to go shopping without having the sensation that everybody was trying to cheat me, overcharge me or sell me something that I didn't need. You have to be constantly on the lookout for deceptive advertising and keep in mind that nothing is ever free. Common sense tells us that manufacturers can't possibly come out with improved: more concentrated and longer lasting versions of their products as often as they do. Buying the larger size should be less expensive but it's just the opposite. Furthermore, comparing prices without a calculator is next to impossible. Even when you make a list of the items you need and ignore all the come ons you still have to deal with the constant rearranging and relocation of the items, which forces you to walk down aisles stocked with products that you wouldn't have seen had everything not been rearranged.
