is cheaper and sometimes it's not. The only way to know for sure is
to pull out the calculator and crunch some numbers.

good stores show cost/ounce right there

i have asked several times at one store why they have no cost/unit

This is true but they could also "not post the correct calculation per
oz or lb. to steer you towards what they want you to buy. I have seen

That would require people to know basic math.
They don't teach that anymore. :-)
