So Pithy

When I go shopping I like to buy in bulk: big boxes of cereal, big bags of noodles, etc. But recently, while shopping at Hy-Vee, I noticed something that annoyed me. I could get:

• a 12 pack of Ramen for $2.42
• two 6 packs of Ramen for $2.40
• twelve individuals packs of Ramen for $2.00 (those prices might be off, but you get the picture)

So frustrating! Sometimes they do the same thing with cereal: cheaper to get two small boxes than one big box. Come on, Hy-Vee, quit interfering with economies of scale!
