All of the price tags are just slightly to blurry… Always curious about local prices
Why is tube meat always the cheapest? Surely you could put any quality of meat you want in there, but it’s always the cheapest.
Cheaper to package. They can just have a crazy long tube of meat going through a roll of film that gets tied off by a machine and they’ve got a ready-to-sell product. The chunks that come in the little trays have to get chopped, placed on the tray, then wrapped (which is probably still 99% automated, but more steps, more machinery, and more actual packaging)
I struggle to believe packaging is a significant cost factor.
Idk, I work in the packaging industry, you’d be surprised!
When you buy a bottle of water, you’re paying for the plastic it’s in and the truck it came on. Nestle is just a big, evil disposable water bottle distributor that happens to fill the bottle before sending them out.
