Do You Check The Weight Of Meats, Fish or Chicken On A Produce Scale Before You Purchase It?

Some people are finding packages of meat that weigh a lot less (even half of what the label says) when they are shopping. It’s not just Walmart but some other chain stores that are doing this. One man even picked up a couple of reduce price small steaks and when he weighed them they were half the weight the label claimed. I think I’m going to start doing this.

They are also finding prepackaged fruits & veggies that are labeled less than what the label says as well.

I believe if more customers did this they would knock off this practice. If not maybe a class action lawsuit. It stinks to high heaven that food and other things are so expensive these days but deliberately cheating customers is illegal isn’t it?

@Adrift Yeah...no pink slime added to make the hamburger look red and fresh...when its true color is more like...gray!

@4meAndyou yeah, that's probably why I never liked to eat hamburger in any shape or form. I was never a big fan of meat.
I've noticed that they're making the packets smaller but charging the same price for the larger size they used to be
@AbsolutelyFabulous Yes, the new standard package size for frozen vegetables and fruits seems to be 12 ounces, a 25% reduction from 16 oz.

I would have a little problem with that...since I order everything online and other people do my shopping. But IF I ever do a shop myself, I will weigh the meat! That's an expensive item to be charged double for!

@cherokeepatti we have an aldis now i'm more concerned with a suspicion that bill gates contracts with walmart include loading vaccines into their food supplies

@GoFish I don’t buy Walmart meats. I usually get mine at Winco or another local chain store.

Yes, only because I have to watch my sodium intake. So I end up watching everthing. Sugar, fats, calories, etc. I buy most of my meats from our local slaughter house and my vegetables from local market's. I have my own scale at home.
We did some tests on that some years ago, and discovered that some weights were bogus, also some scales were in error. Inform the supermarkets who said that they would check and correct. Don't recall the statistics because that was just coincidental awareness that we stumbled into.

It's happening here too. A&M inspectors have levied fines, and even closed grocery stores for weights and measures violations here in NY.
