Consumer Beware!

[Bongo]

Not only has packaging gotten smaller, now they're not even filling them up.

the bottle is milk plastic - so gives the illusion of being clear while at the same time hiding the true level. I paid $8.00 for .53oz of glue - that comes to $242.00 a pound.

It's become somewhat commonplace with packaged food products selling half empty packages (the gorilla glue was less than 1/3rd)
And now the trend is spreading to other goods too.

Unfortunately a lb is no longer a pound.

They also use a HUGE cap, half the size of the bottle to add to the illusion. When you pick up the bottle, you instantly know something is off because it's so light.

And it usually cost more.

Yeah, it's such a racket. This kind of thing should be illegal.

Basically, it's price gouging and I think that's illegal in most places. If not, then in should be. It's bad enough that we're not getting the same for our money. I'm elderly, disabled and live on $700 a month that has to cover everything for living. I can't even take on a job to earn more money.

EU here noticed it too in art supplies sold here.

A more economical source for CA glue is from Starbond. Their CA glue is available in different thicknesses and colors. It comes with multiple applicator tips and also lasts longer in the bottle than the stuff you buy at Walmart.

I usually buy it from Amazon.
