Hi: In a Safeway, I noticed the Laura Scudders peanut butter shelf stickers.
One size shows: 16 OZ(454 g) $4.39 Ea. 27.5¢ / ounce. Larger size, same product: 26 OZ(737 g) $6.09 Ea $3.75/pound Quickly, Which one is cheaper per unit? You need to carry a calculator in your pocket for this. Let's see now, multiplying 27.5¢ per ounce by 16 changes it to 440¢ /pound or $4.40 / pound. So the larger size is cheaper per unit. If they used only metric, you could just move a decimal point and quickly know which was cheaper. I wonder if keeping the old colonial measures is one way of confusing the consumer and thus getting more revenue. Note: The grams showed on the jar label and not on the shelf stickers. ..Parker
