Milk Money

Confusing prices at Wal Mart. [Link]

The first problem was that the gallon of milk was both $2.25 and 2 for $5.00 ($2.50 each)..at the same time.

After contemplating this for a moment I decided I may not need an entire gallon of milk, so I went to get a half gallon. That is when I become thoroughly confused… as a half gallon of milk is $2.47… why is half a gallon of milk 22 cents more expensive than a whole gallon?

You can read in the picture that the price tag for the half gallon is 3.9 cents per ounce while the full gallon is 1.8 cents per ounce (just to clarify that the tags are indeed correct).
