    Does “ct.” mean something? If not, those cookies are absurdly priced for just 3.6 grams.

      Probably “count”. As in each. So 18 count, or 18 cookies specifically.

      I think it means “count” like “18 ct” means “18 count” means there are 18 cookies in the package

        Since when does ct. Mean count? The only things i was able to find online, were carat (ct, unit of measurement of mass), ct count (covid-19), Connecticut (ct as shortened)

          Internet man finds out the struggle of inconsistent units of measure.

          Wikipedia got you fam

          ct following a number means the number of items contained in a package (e.g. zucchini 3 ct); abbreviation of ‘count’

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT

          I just wondered if I could find examples in the wild so I searched for “grocery price tags”. Didn’t have to look much to find an example:

            Oh, this is why. Maybe i just was to biased to not use this search prompt, or and also that unlike in us, in my country food is not measured in count, but always in grams or mililiters. Thanks for explanation.

                Yes. Just take as many as you need and pay for how much they weight, the same way as it is done with buying vegetables or fruits.

          Since when? In the US this has been used in stores for decades that I know of.

      ct is Count, most likely. It’s possible it’s a mistake; it’s also possible that they’re hoping people who don’t have the card will see $3.99 and miss the ‘price with card’ note, and not check the price when they check out.

        Has it gotten that bad in America that you’d be able to put an extra $100 on groceries without most people noticing? $10 though, sure.

          A lot of folks use grocery delivery services, and the people fulfilling those orders are often unlikely to care enough to be diligent. If it’s on your list, they’ll get it.
