Use unit pricing . . . Finding the best buys at the supermarket takes some know how. You must consider quality, nutrition, convenience, family tastes, storage space and economy when shopping for food. Unit pricing will help you know which product is most economical.
Unit pricing is a tool for comparing prices.
A unit can be an ounce, a pound, a quart, a square foot or an individual piece in a package. For example, the unit price shows you the cost of each ounce in a can of soup. The package price just tells you the price of the whole can. Unit pricing helps you compare costs of different brands and various sizes without doing arithmetic. Using unit pricing can be a great money saver.
