  4. 4Check that every quantity uses the same unit.

Questions people ask

How do I compare different pack sizes?

Convert them to one unit first. A 500 g pack is 0.5 kg, and 750 ml is 0.75 litre.

Is the cheapest per unit always the best buy?

Not always. A bigger pack saves nothing if you throw some away, and food has expiry dates. Consider how much you will really use.

How do I compare multipacks?

Enter the total pack size, for example 6 bottles of 0.5 litre is 3 litres.

What if I have more than three products?

Compare the best two first, then compare the winner with the next product.

Which currency does it use?

None. It divides price by quantity, so any currency works.
