I often wonder the same thing about why fresh fruits and vegetable are more expensive than frozen fruits and vegetables at the same weight comparison, especially since the frozen varieties took more labor to wash and slice and package for my convenience. My soups, casseroles, stews and most other dishes taste the same and have nearly identical nutrition values, so I hardly ever wonder into the produce section of my grocer with the exception of a head of lettuce once in a while.

Should decaffeinated coffee be cheaper than regular coffee?

Low fat is usually a bad choice. In most cases, to offset the lower fat, the manufacturers add more sweeteners.

It’s grocery store math—- Reduced amount + charge more = RIP OFF!

Because you have to pay the wages of the person who counts the calories to make sure that no extras sneak into the packages

Same reason people were paying more for low-carb hamburgers that were served bunless.

That way you eat less because you can’t afford to buy as much.
