Superstore prices

Superstore here in Manitoba has the most convoluted pricing structures around. I swear they are just trying to confuse everyone.

When I see a price I want to know what I'm going to pay. Grocery shopping shouldn't require a Phd in mathematics.

If I want one can of soup it should cost the same as each can if I wanted 20.

What if I don't feel like buying my noodles in groups of 3?

I've even seen items with a minimum quantity of 12. I'm fine with buying in bulk, there are only so many cans of Tuna I can go through.

I am convinced they do this pricing schemes just to catch people off guard. Even people who closely watch prices are inevitably going to screw up and grab the wrong quantity.

Since you're stuck doing your own bagging there you can't watch the cashier and make sure the prices are all what you expect.
