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
shrugged me off

we don't care, we don't have to


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. If it really matters to you it is best to make the calculations
yourself.

"They" can also be on the receiving end of huge fines.

Yet I have never ever heard of this happening. I have heard of problems
where the price label does not match the register receipt but never
where the cost per oz. or lb. are incorrect. Most people simply look at
the total price and that is the price that has to be correct.
