If I am buying something, in particular food, then I need to know the cost per Kg or enough other quantifying details. Eggs, 1 dozen eggs? Meat, a side of beef -- how many Kg of each cut? A box of fruit and vegetables -- how many Kg of each inclusion or at least the number of total kilograms and a break down of actual content (by percentage or item count) in a "small", "medium" or "large" box?????? Are those apples $5 per box or $5 per kilo? You can buy a kilo of mixed nuts, but if the bulk of the kilo are the cheapest nuts, then you don't have value if the mixed nut price is based on premium types of nuts. All those things need to be properly defined or you have no idea what kind of real "value" you are buying, especially if you cannot see the goods in a "real bricks and mortar" shop situation. Sure some value options are less tangible, but at the end of the day, if you are selling something, it needs to be clearly defined [see next paragraph]. I won't buy things like Tic Tacs at $47 per kilo, that's just ridiculous. But other buying decisions are made just as ridiculous without proper pricing / quantity details being available. Buying an N300 router for instance which only has 10/100 Ethernet ports means that you can only utilize 802.11n speeds (over 100Mb/s) when using wireless to wireless and not traversing the lesser Ethernet switching speeds. If the seller of the N300 router doesn't clearly specify the switch component as 10/100, then the product has somewhat been misrepresented. In order to get real value from an N300 router, you need gigabit ports (at least one) -- then there is the question of WAN vs LAN port capability, but I am digress away from the food site's "problem" of selling foods without clear pricing / product details.
