Inverse economy of scale
Posted August 18th, 2010 by Carlos
It seems the local supermarket doesn’t get bulk discounts. A pack of four yogurt costs 50 cent, while a pack of eight (which is two packs of four wrapped in some cardboard) sets you back 1.33 euro.
That’s right, it costs 33 cent to have it wrapped in a bit of cardboard. The situation with tuna is apparently the same. A pack of six costs a couple of cents more per can than three.
