Additional Information

When purchasing produce by the pound, be sure that the person weighing it allows for the plastic bag (usually 0.01 pounds and it does make a difference in the total price).
Meat and meat products must be sold by net weight.
All commodities must be sold by a definite unit of measurement: by weight, by measure, or by numerical count.
