DTI has to do something about this,- as they should standardize the price-post for all establishments so that people do not get confused.

IMO, this borders on fooling the buying public,- because let's admit it,- we normally do not look at the [price per] weight, just the price as we're used to the weight being 1Kg; Nor all of us understand the difference between 500mg vs. the usual 1Kg.... I'd say only 5%-10% of the buying public (not here in tsikot) know the difference.

I called the attention of the SM Store Manager about their practice a couple of weeks earlier, and so they changed to 1Kg the following week.

But then, this week,- they're back to using 500mg. I called their attention again,- and they said they're going to look into this....

Again,- DTI, IMO, should step in, as the Filipino consumers [including us] are being fooled by these scheming establishments....

Another pang gugulang from SM. I don't know why you continue to shop there.

I now shop at cash and carry, although it's a little far from my house, I would rather travel than shop at SM. Yesterday I bought beef and they even gave me bones for free. When they give change it's round down like when I bought a snack for P64.36, they gave me P36 change
