Sometimes I wonder how much wealth transfer there is based on people who were never taught how to avoid this kind of trickery being duped.

The person that buys the overpriced "value" pack is basically giving money to PepsiCo or whatever, but in effect that subsidizes the conscientious consumer.

Cost per unit is present on the price tags in every grocery that I've been to. Certainly Walmart does it.
Right, but clearly people just ignore those, otherwise shrinkflation wouldn't be worth doing.
