https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Higher-Priced-Packaging-for-Seniors/m-p/26641#M12666 <P>Yesterday, I stopped at a grocery store that is near two Senior Citizen buildings and noticed that the smaller packages of meat were priced a lot more per pound than the larger packages of the same thing. This store was also having a bogo special on pork roasts. </P> <P>The apartments in senior buildings are small with small refrigerators so buying a larger package and dividing it into smaller ones to freeze is not an option for them.</P> <P>Admittedly, it costs something for each package so that it's cheaper for the store to sell one large package as opposed to three smaller ones but it can't cost between 40 cents to a dollar a pound more.</P> <P>Most of these seniors have a fixed, limited income and don't drive so this store is probably their only option.</P> <P>I think what this store is doing is wrong and unfair to our senior citizens. What do you think, should the store make as much as they can without concern for the elderly?</P> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:02:51 GMT occasionalrain 2011-02-04T21:02:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Higher-Priced-Packaging-for-Seniors/m-p/26641#M12666 <P>Yesterday, I stopped at a grocery store that is near two Senior Citizen buildings and noticed that the smaller packages of meat were priced a lot more per pound than the larger packages of the same thing.
