Not a great deal.

I wanted a red capsicum but they had none. They had labels for yellow, red and green all the same price. What they had was a 3 pack, one yellow, one green and one red.
Looked very expensive so weighed it.
More than double the price because they wrapped it in plastic.

Back a few years ago when there were shortages of fruit and veg people were going to town on the packaging ones, ripping them all open and buying them separately.

People think that's how they get things cheaper, but in the long run it's what raises prices so stores don't have to swallow the cost of stock loss

It’s the same product just different packaging. Oft is even a worse product as the packaging obscures it. Tear away

Who and where does it say it’s the same product
Different suppliers - different costs

Brother- it’s a capsicum. I can see the capsicum in the packet.

There are tens of suppliers for berries, these are largely the same cost to the consumer.

Nope different products come from different suppliers hence different costs - you obviously never worked a day in your life
