No, I would have felt like a piker, as the
price (and the unit price) was already a considerable reduction from list price.
Besides, I made a conscious decision with full knowledge of the facts. If the 2
qt size had been eliminated and there was a hidden change in the list price,
that would be different. As it was, I had a choice.
After the sale is over (it probably ended
yesterday), I'll see how the standard 1.75 L and 2 qt prices compare. (I
won't buy either at list price, though. I'll just go to another supermarket.
Fortunately, the sale prices seem to rotate from one supermarket chain to
another.)

Wouldn't you have felt even better about it if you had complained about the disparity in price and gotten the manager to reduce the price on the metric size?
