So you, I dunno, read the label where it shows the net weight, and compare it to other similar products nearby on the same shelf? Hell, most store shelf pricing has price per unit on it now, so you can compare prices pretty directly. Yeah, I get that it's not completely consistent where that's implemented, but it's far and away better than the days of "price gun sticker on item and that's it."
Which boils down to 'make sure you look hard to see how they are trying to trick you'
And, in that scenario...you blame the people who don't catch the trick as opposed to the corporation trying to trick people.
I certainly do not do that. Who has time to inspect every item they buy nowadays? Ridiculous.
