I have noticed a continued shortage of weight on prepackaged produce weight and proce per pound.  Fir example, chicken has 12.5% water added, and the consumer has to pay the proce of added water that increases the weight.

In addition, I have noticed that prepackaged items weigh as much as 1% of the labeled weight.  For example, a ten pound bag of potatos will weigh 8.5 pounds, a 5 pound bag of apples will weigh 4 pounds 4 ounces, a  6 pound bag of oranges will weigh 5.25 pounds, a 3 pound container of grapes will weigh 2.75 pounds, etc.  This is not an anomalie, but it seems to be common practice in all stores.  There is significant discrepency from labeled weight and actual weight.

The store managers says that they will take it up wiht the supplier, but the same practice of overweighing continues across the board.  As for paying for 12.5% added water in the Plgram's Pride chicken, the store manages says that they cannot do anything about it.  He says that that is the total weight of the chicken and added water, and the consumer must pay for the total weight.

So, Walmart knows about this, and openly practices mislabeling the weight.  The consumer is being ripped off , and they will do nothing about it.  If we look at the nation as a whole, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars every year for mislabeling the weight of produce and meats.

As far as todays purchase of a 10 pound bag of potatos that actually weighed 8.5 pounds, they gave me credit of $1.50.  It is only because I brought up the issue to them.  Look at all of the hundreds of thousands of people who do no reseigh the produce and meats.  This is major ripoff of all consumers at Walmart.  These practices of overweighing produce and meats must be stopped immediately!
