Target should stop participating in rip-off

Or you could by the store brand, which usually costs less anyway.

How do you know that there is 40 less tissues per box?
Did you watch the people/machines stuff the boxes did you count all of
the tissues in each box?

Kimberly Clark rather than Target? They merely stock what their
vendors sell them.

And lots of companies are doing that to cut costs - less product
without raising prices. It's not really fair, but somehow they think
it's better than having to raise prices and really infuriating
consumers.

You are the consumer and as such it is up to you to determine the unit
cost of a product before purchasing.

"Special Value" doesn't always mean that a savings is involved any
more than purchasing the large size of an item means better savings.

Use your calculator and figure out exactly what you are getting for
your money before going through the checkout. No one is going to do
this for you, if you want the most economical bargain then you need to
figure out exactly that that is.

if i'm not mistaken, doesn't the label on the box state how many
tissues it contains

as well as the size?

Before I buy the "special value" anything from anywhere I always check
the little specifics at the bottom. Like where it says how many
sheets per roll/box and compare it to my usual brand. If it doesn't
measure up I don't buy it. I have a houseful of sensitive, runny
noses and don't like to spend all day in the store but it isn't a
"special value" if it is less (content) than my usual brand.

What I am curious about is, was the amount of tissues in the box
printed on the box or did you actually sit down and count each tissue
to see how many was in the box. If the latter is true then who has a
lot of time to waste here. Lol!

A lot of the "special values" really aren't values at all. If you see
the price and break it down it is the same price that they charge on
regular days. Also when the price is usually $1.00 per and they have
the 2 for $2.00, what is the savings on that? Not much if any. What I
was told by WalMart is that the customer chooses size over content.
They bet on customers not checking what's in the box they just see
that the box is bigger and will grab it.

Then not all customers are blind when they shop.

A roll of toilet paper or paper towels - those are rip-offs. Kleenex
works differently, you know.

I compare the different boxes of Kleenex to find the best deal per
sheet every time I buy. If I don't like the price, I don't buy.

Consumers aren't stupid. If Target puts something on the floor that
is overpriced, it won't sell.

If they are going to practice this deception, then they should also
consider the cost of shipping. If you have a box that is only 60%
full, then the shipping is not very efficient is it? I do think that
company's have an obligation to not misrepresent their products to the
consumer, and also to ship efficiently... neither is the case in the
example that I have provided... hope you have stock in
Kimberly-Clark!!!

Long range shipping is by weight. If anything, shipping the smaller
boxes costs them less. Even if it takes up place in the truck it's
still getting sold. Having the box full doesn't save Kleenex or Target
any money at all.
