Coming from a metric world (You know, the rest of the world outside the US) this annoys me quite a bit. On smaller sizes it can be listed as price per ounce, then on larger it's PP pound, or whatever. I find that even if the store has unit costs, they use different units on the same products.

I have 30 boxes of name brand, that is General Mills, Cheerios in my pantry that I got for free using coupons. The folks at http://hotcouponworld.com taught me how. With 3 children under 5 we go through Cheerios like there is no tomarow. You pay for Cheerios?

I agree that it is very good to pay attention to that. Many stores like Walmart have a lot of the unit prices the same place as the regular prices.

I have found that buying 4 small cherios boxes is still more expensive than the larger "Costco" style box. Interesting how marketing makes us look at the cheaper items first. Of course, buying the generic cherios is probably the best option. Some sale items make me think that the unit pricing would be lower than another item in a larger box.

That's my motto. I'm always amazed to see things listed at 2/$5 when last week they were $2.19 each! Bulk items are the worst. A 10lb bag of sugar costs more than 2 5lb bags at one local store. I guess they're counting on people not noticing...or being very bad at math. Shop with a calculator! That’s my motto.
