This is a common theme I usually see when going down the aisles at the supermarket. Ever noticed at times where you could be in the section looking for say a particular juice only to then wonder why an item all the way down the other side is next to it? This one was a funny example as from the looks of it someone originally planned to buy this two litre organic orange juice where the ingredients were nothing but oranges. The price should be about three dollars or so. However, it would appear upon passing a different juice aisle they saw this other brand where the price was only one dollar for about one litre. So by the looks of it they opted to go for the cheaper one.
It wasn’t the exact same product though as the cheaper one was made from concentrate and had additional stuff put into it. Although it makes me wonder in this case. Is it simply an oversight where people don’t bother to read the ingredients and just assume all orange juice is the same? Or is the lure of the cheaper price just too much too ignore? I didn’t always carefully read the labels but now I do not only for health reasons but technically even money wise that cheaper one could be more expensive than the other if the ingredients were inferior.
But I would say in the long-term if you had to invest in something spending the extra dollar to get food that is better for you per se will probably benefit you later on. As well, if you take care of yourself then you won’t need to spend as much on items like medical expenses hopefully in the future.
