Compare sale prices with or without a coupon for your grocery items by calculating the price per item and price per unit.

For example: if the price of a 16-oz item is listed as “5 for $5.50” and you have a coupon for this store that says “$0.75 off when you buy 2”, how does that compare to a

32-oz item that is selling for “2 for $3.00” at a different store? Answer: The price per ounce for the first case is $0.0453 and for the second case it is $0.0469. So, the first case is a better deal, but don’t forget your coupon or you’ll be paying $0.0688 per ounce.
