That’s dumb. I get dozens of items on every trip, of stock that’s constantly changing, and where different brands have different sizes to try to stand out. Brands repackage and re-label all too often: with shrinkflation, a lot of my normal for one person sizes have been relabeled “family sized” to look like more. Plus I do try to change things up, so I’m not getting the same things every week, and usually get something I’ve never gotten before. There is no reasonable way to have known all the typical weights, typical ingredients (same goes for sneaky reformulations), typical prices, and be able to compare them to some history, while I’m walking through the store
