Can anyone explain this Pricing anomaly?

When I buy a small chicken, it costs less than a larger chicken.

When I buy a yard of material it costs less that if I buy a yard and a half of material.

In fact any product, if you buy a smaller item you would reasonably expect to pay less than if you bought the same but larger.

So why do XXXL clothes cost the same as S?????

    Hello there,

    It is very simple.

    1) When buying and sewing in whole sale, 3-4 inches are not worthy of counting.

    2) We are talking about million pounds industry

    3) But, yes, I agree cloth for FAT people should cost at least 1/3 more

    ;)

    Not always the case as some stores or manufacturers do charge more for larger sizes .. However to make pricing simpler at point of sale or in adverts an average price covering all sizes is used .. If you are SSL XL or whatever ,,, you gain. if small or petite you lose ,

    EDIT @SKITTLES: in case you like Socialism plenty in view which you could no longer think of for your self, then pass stay in Lybia. ---------------------------------- What are you interpreting? under Communism, no count what your training point, you are going to make an identical because of the fact the guy without training. truthfully everyone seems to be paid an identical no count what. as an occasion, enable's say you're a everyday supervisor of a food market. You went to college, have been given a level, and worked your way up the ladder. Why must you, who did each little thing you necessary to do, be paid comparable to those that artwork under you and that they have carried out no longer something to extra constructive themselves? no longer in basic terms that, yet you will desire to be despite they say you will desire to be. you like track, you have a great voice, yet they settle on (the communist government) you will desire to be working at a rapid nutrition eating place. Is that excellent? I quite have diverse sclerosis and migraine ailment. i'm no longer in a position to artwork. I do besides the undeniable fact that write. meaning degree performs and demonstrate writing. i latterly complete a play that I worked on for extra desirable than a 12 months. I did this artwork while my migraines allowed me to. Why would desire to I be compelled to share my paycheck with all people who had no longer something to do with the play i've got merely written? that is Socialism and sharing the wealth. And in the previous all people starts in on all the charity we are meant to do as Christians. Charity isn't a commandment, that's a selection of unfastened will. I provide in basic terms what i could have the money for to furnish. that isn't any longer excellent that the government tell me I would desire to provide plenty to this one and that one because of the fact they pronounced so. in the event that they're so worried approximately following Gods regulation, then shouldn't they be forcing farmers to leave one corner of their vegetation so the hungry can consume? Marxism is comparable to Socialism. I choose living in a Capitalist Society. i'm unfastened to make despite selection is superb for me. i'm unfastened to attend college (which I did in the previous starting to be unwell), and pursue despite i want to. Why do you think of we've maximum of illegals in this united states of america? they're coming here because of the fact we are a Capitalist Society and that they be conscious of they have a extra constructive danger of having the flexibility to feed their kin.

    any 'hefty' woman will tell you this is false and that she always has to pay more for clothes than a 'regular size' woman.
