S.3819 – Shrinkflation Prevention Act of 2024

I recently moved to Ireland, and what I noticed in the stores is that all products have a second €/unit price on the shelf label. So a per KG, per L, per gram, per unit, etc.

It makes it easy to compare different versions/brands/sizes of the same product and select the most optimum version for you. It's a nice touch. Not sure if this is a EU thing, or just a store policy.

I've seen that in American grocery stores as well. I think it's pretty standard. The main issue is that you constantly have to be alert and remember prices across trips.

It might vary from state to state. Here in California it's pretty inconsistent. Anecdotally, in Virginia it was almost always there for every product.

I'm in California and it seems consistent across the large grocery store chains to me.

America has per weight pricing on labels but the units are often inconsistent.

I have seen this in every store in a bunch of EU member states, so my guess is it's an EU thing
