Message: [QUOTE="chasingthepoints, post: 15612"]Before I begin, I’d like to add that there are certain stores that will calculate the math of the product like $ per [unit of measurement]. The unit of measurement varies from ounces to pounds to piece, like a roll of paper towel. I love checking it out because it allows you to make the best purchase decision. If I remember correctly, I originally began seeing it either at Costco or BJ’s Wholesale club. Since then, I always make an effort to read the price tags.The other day I was in Wholefoods Market with my family utilizing the American Express Sync offer of $10 off $75 purchase. While there, I was perusing the aisles and came upon something that made zero sense to me and this is why you need to pay attention when you make your purchases.<a href="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/6ozmacandcheese.jpg"><img src="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/6ozmacandcheese.jpg" data-url="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/6ozmacandcheese.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="" title="" /></a>See how it is $3.97 per pound<a href="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/12ozmacandcheese.jpg"><img src="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/12ozmacandcheese.jpg" data-url="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/12ozmacandcheese.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="" title="" /></a>See how this one is $3.59 a pound?

Meanwhile, the smaller boxes are cheaper. I’ve seen this in CVS when I replenish my candy for my candy tray. Just because Wholefoods places the moniker of “deluxe” and “creamy” increases the box weight to 14 oz does not automatically mean you’re getting a better deal. If you wanted to make your mac and cheese creamier, just add more milk.So the next time you shop, regardless of store, you should do a price per unit math to figure out what your best deal is.<a href="http://saverocity.com/chasingthepoints/buying-big-always-save-money/">Continue reading...</a>[/QUOTE]
