Buying Large oranges or small oranges?

Price of large oranges is $0.99/lb while small oranges is $0.69/lb. If every other things are the same (cet par), quality, texture, taste, why do the supermarket sell them at a different prices? Why would some people buy large instead of all buying small? Please provide your insight.

    Price difference would be in commodities. And people will buy larger oranges because of herbivorial instincts tell us to get the biggest, brightest, most colorful, and healthy looking and feeling food we can get our hands on. While intellectual or financially inadequate people will go for the bargain.

    ooo. your dress is so cute :D where did you get it from? personally, if i was going to wear this, i'd have my hair in loose cute curls, bronzer on the cheeks and mascara to make the lashes long and sexxxy. for the bangles, try and get vintage ones to wear with this, the dress and shoes go perfectly together, so vintage neckalces and bracelts would be the way to go. dont over do it though. a nice silver locket or vintage necklace on the neck. and a few vintage bangles on your arms. too much bangles looks overdone, so its upto you to create the look. for the bag; i would use a bigger white clutch purse, or if not white, a tan colour or brown, keep the clutch a plain one if possible, because youv'e already done your accessorzing with the jewellery. x
