Do You Weigh Food Products To Make Sure The Package Weight Is Accurate?

I read a post on another website. A woman said she bought pasta and brought it home and weighed it….said the package weight was 16 ounces and she weighed it on her scales and it said 11.5 ounces and that included the box. I bought two packages of Good Value brand macaroni from Walmart and weighed each box just now. Poured the macaroni out and the boxes weigh 1.5 ounces each, the macaroni weighed 13.5 ounces….they slighted me 2 ounces of product on each box. It’s getting time to do some online store and product reviews. And like the lady on that other site said, she’s bringing her scales to the stores and weighing things. And I will e-mail the corporate office and post these findings on websites. Maybe a consumer group will investigate. The price of groceries have increased and now they are cheating on weight.
