From the POV as a consumer, I will find this useful.
An example - my local supermarket sells a pack of 8 apples for £2. I can also buy them per kg for £1.69. How do I work out the best value? I have to weigh the 8 pack and then try and work it out.

I am under the suspicion (as are many consumers) that we are being fiddled in many ways - pack amounts (e.g 4 pack, 8 pack) stay the same, but produce size goes down. But price remains the same.

As for the egg industry suffering: I am sure they will pass on the cost of weighing each item to the consumer anyway.

Selling things in packs is of benefit to the seller: I am not convinced there is much benefit for the consumer.
