If you look at the seafood freezer you will see their frozen shrimp.\u00a0 Shrimp is graded by size– the number per pound–so you might see a package of say–41-50\/lb.–.<\/p>\n
At most grocery stores, the packages will contain a pound of shrimp, or perhaps multiple pounds.<\/p>\n

WalMart packages have the size of the shrimp, and since you see the “per pound” label, you would also assume that that the package contains a pound, but I noticed that the package sizes are usually 12 oz. , sometimes 14.<\/p>\n
Clearly misleading.\u00a0 I avoid buying shrimp there whenever I can, and I have changed my shopping practices.\u00a0 I do not buy exclusively from local grocers (their big chains, too), but I do buy as much as I can, and I do buy from Checker’s, the one local grocer (or at least the smallest chain) whenever I can.<\/p>\n
