Value twin pack??

Went for groceries shopping with mom just now. My mom wanted to buy toothpaste or usually we just call it 'colgate' regardless of what brand we will buy it later. Hehehe...

Ok, so when I saw the value twin pack, I quickly grab it saying it worth it to buy value pack cos it's always cheaper! Then again, my instinct makes me double check the price. I check the single pack, it's RM5.99 and guess how much is the twin pack?? RM13.90!!



I was like, 'what the heck??!'

See that? I bought two packs for RM11.98 only! So much different from the value pack.

Stupid! Value pack for more expensive price?? who would buy that? Nevertheless, I bring the twin pack and single pack down to cashier and ask them to double check the price, it is what it is shown. Weird. I speak no more, pay for the two single packs then went off. Weird. This is not the 1st time. Last time, at the same place, I'm looking for toilet paper, and again the same thing, value pack are more expensive than buying single pack with the same quantity. Weird weird...
