You ever buy chips in the store? Potato chips or tortilla chips or the like? You've probably seen how they're half full of air. The manufacturers do this to make it look like theirs are bigger, and you're getting more chips.

Wouldn't you be impressed if you picked up a bag and it was full? Aren't most of us more impressed by value than size? Wouldn't it seem so much heavier, and therefore a better deal?

What really irks me is how much money they make off of breakfast cereal. Four bucks for a box of baked rice mash? Come on!

Cyn likes this stuff that's only three dollars a box, but there are only three bowls worth in it.

Wow!

Safeways own brand 99p, Kelloggs about £1.35

That's why I don't buy cereal, even though I like it well enough. It offends my frugal sensibilities.

Ms Eff, who had a nice bagel for breakfast.
