supermarket shopping
Saw a person, in a supermarket, tipping mushrooms onto weigh scale then later placing them in a paper bag. Interested, i weighed my mushrooms first then bagged them in the bags supplied, then weighed again. The difference was 7 grams heavier so if bagging first would have been paying for the bag at nearly $12. per kg. Nice way for the supermarket to sell paper bags at what must be a very good mark up. No I am not a scrooge but it was an interesting and informative exercise.
