On economy

Can anyone justify this?



It is counter-intuitive considering the current economic climate and the creeping costs of comestibles to artificially and unnecessarily increase the price of an item with wrapping like this.

Not to mention the environmental cost.

Albert Hein, however, deems it necessary to wrap individual carrots thus, and compels me to buy these plastic-armoured roots! Why? Because the only other way they sell them is by the 1 1/2 kilo, and I'd find it hard to much my way through a whole 1500g before they turn soggy.
