[QUOTE="TnWatchdog, post: 118575, member: 3077"] Consumers are, as usual, getting screwed...less for more. I've been working on an overhang and a treated 2x8 is, what it normally is, 1.5"×7.5". I also used a SPF(spruce, pine, or fir) 2x8 and it was 1.5"×7.25". I noticed this while lining it up with the treated one. This is a big difference when you remodel and try to match what is there. Also I was working with some 16"×16" patio pavers and both home improvement stores I shop at had the same price but one store was selling a paver with a size less then the 16x16 but at the same price. At the grocery store: Had some grape tomatoes 16 oz. size and another has a container that looks the same but 10 oz. Talked before on a thread with Einstein regarding eggs. Medium, Large, and now Jumbo sizes...most look small to medium to me. Playing games with people. Saw some chips with 'family size' on the bag. Looks plump with the air in it but in reality you could eat them all yourself and would need to buy other bags for each family member. Coffee I use came in a 34.5 oz container now one that is the same diameter but shorter with 24.2 oz...screwed again. Now if I did a job for someone, did less, but charged the same or more would that make sense? [/QUOTE]
