Price per roll has to be the worst seeing how rolls are different thicknesses
Comment on Shrinkflation is out of control
dan@upvote.au 1 year agoI just wish the weights were consistent across similar products. I’ve seen some supermarkets where one brand uses cost per gram while another brand uses cost per 100 grams. Some toilet papers are cost per sheet, some are cost per 100 sheets, some are cost per roll. In the USA, one item might use price per ounce while the product next to it uses price per pound. Drives me crazy.

I know right? I’ll take a photo next time I see per roll unit pricing.

This is as designed. It’s like shopping for mattresses, they don’t want you to comparison shop.

Unit pricing is mandated in many jurisdictions, however many of them don’t mandate the specific units that are used. I wish they’d do that so that we could properly compare items.

The marketing law in Denmark does that. With few exceptions, everything must have the price displayed in the proper unit (liter, kilogram, meter, square metres or cubic metres) in addition to the price pr. item.
