How Unit Pricing Saves Money
Package size and promo labels can hide the true price. Unit pricing reveals the real cost and helps you avoid overpaying for smaller packages that look cheaper at checkout.
Best Practices for Comparison Shopping
- Keep units consistent: Compare ounce-to-ounce, count-to-count, or pound-to-pound.
- Check quantity assumptions: Multi-pack counts and concentrated formulas can distort comparisons.
- Watch for waste: The cheapest unit price is not always best if product expires before you use it.
FAQ
What unit should I use?
Use the same unit for both products (ounces, count, pounds, etc.). The calculator compares relative cost.
Can I compare more than two products?
Run product A vs B first, then compare the winning option against a third product in a second pass.
Does this include coupons or tax?
Only if you include those in the price fields. Enter your real expected paid amount for the most accurate result.
