As the picture shows, most (all??) grocery stores will show the price per ounce on the item’s price tag.

It’s usually on sales tags too.

I was FAR too old before I realized this and it’s made price comparisons in-store much easier.

Note: Not my photo. Just generic photo from google.

If my local supermarket is any indication those $/oz (or per 100ml in my case) are entered manually by employees and can be wildly inaccurate.
So maybe double-check them.

Oh. Well, maybe I should remove this. That sucks. :-/

It's still good advice, even if there are occasionally pitfalls.

No man, it’s the only way to shop.

It’s a good reminder

Sometimes I have to get out my calculator and do the division myself, but it almost always leads to a better shopping choice. Or at least confirmed my instinct
