Cost Per Unit Calculator - Nice Tool

diablos991 · 07-13-2009, 03:22 PM

The Wal-Marts and a couple other grocery stores in my area already do this on the shelf labels.

no joke... all it does is DIVIDE. To find the price of ONE thing, find the price and divide how many there are. Come now, have we become THIS lazy?? Surely most people can do this in their head...

I buy them by the 5 doz. Eggs last a remarkably long time, especially when refrigerated, much longer than the 'sell by' date.

I have to agree, I think this is interesting, especially when you consider how many things we buy online these days. It gives some good perspective on how much you spend extra, or save, based on the quantity per package vs price. Yes, maybe I prefer this size package and it isn't all that much difference per week, but over a year it's very noticeable etc.

I like this tool and thanks to the OP for posting it.

Rep'd ya for taking the time and putting up with nit pickers.

Not to mention, just about every grocery store has a "price per unit" or "price per ounce" number in smaller print at the top of the shelf tags.

I suppose if you were doing your grocery shopping online... it might be useful...

I believe the cost per ounce was part of legislation in the late 1990's. In any case, I wish more people were aware of it. You'll see one product supposedly "on sale" when in fact another brand is already cheaper per ounce and it's at it's regular price.

People see the word "sale" and stop thinking right there.
