The shelves in most
supermarkets are full of family-size this and multi-buy that. However, if
you’re shopping for one, buying extra ___56___ (benefit) from price reductions
doesn’t make sense. Either your shopping is then too heavy to carry home
___57___ you can’t use what you’ve bought while it’s still fresh.
Of course, shops are not
charities — they price goods in the way ___58___ will make them the most money.
If most of their customers are happy to buy larger quantities, that’s ___59___
they’ll promote. But that leaves the solo (单独) customers out of pocket and disappointed.
Many supermarkets are no
longer doing “buy one get one free” promotions because of the ___60___
(criticize) that they lead to waste. Consumers prefer money off individual
items. However, though it’s nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages, it
would help even more if they could sometimes ___61___ (offer) in smaller packs.
Even the biggest sausage fan doesn’t want to eat them every day.
If your supermarket sells
loose produce, then buying smaller quantities is easier. Over the last two
years, some supermarkets ___62___ (start) selling chicken or salad in packs
___63___ (design) with two halves containing separate portions (份). Then, when you use one section,
___64___ other stays fresh.
Who knows, perhaps some
of the more forward-looking ___65___ (one) may yet come out with a whole range
of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well.
