Oh come on, really?
Don't get me wrong, I don't care about some big chain losing some money, for me it's a matter of principle to not fuck with the system unless really needed.
Two cans of soup, I don't care. But pine nuts? Cheating the system for some "luxury" goods and not some essentials is pretty low.
