Compare Unit Prices: Find the Best Value Instantly
300g for $4.00 or 500g for $6.00—which is actually the better deal? 🤔
Stop guessing and start saving. This tool normalizes products of different sizes to a "Price per 100 units," making it easy to identify the real winner.
💡 Why Use This Tool?
Marketing can be deceptive, but math is objective. Whether you're grocery shopping or browsing online, retailers often make it difficult to compare items of varying sizes.
Use this tool to: - Normalize any size: Compare items by viewing their price per 100g, ml, or units. - Compare multiple products: Rank "A vs. B vs. C" side-by-side. - Calculate real savings: See exactly how much you save compared to the most expensive option.
🛠️ How to Use It
- Enter Quantity and Price: Input the weight/volume and the total price for each item.
- Standardize Units: Use the same unit (e.g., all grams or all ounces) for an accurate comparison.
- Add Products: Click "Add Product" to compare as many variations as you need.
- Identify the Winner: The "BEST DEAL!" badge automatically highlights the lowest unit price.
🧐 FAQ
Can I compare grams to kilograms? Yes, but you must convert them to the same unit first (e.g., enter 1kg as 1000g).
How many items can I compare? There is no limit. Click "Add Product" to add as many rows as necessary.
Why use "Price per 100" instead of "Price per 1"? Price per single unit often results in tiny, confusing decimals (like $0.0034). Normalizing to 100 units makes the numbers readable and easy to compare, just like the labels in most supermarkets.
📚 Trivia: The "Bulk Buy" Myth
Don't assume the giant container is the better deal. Retailers often use "quantity surcharges," pricing larger items higher per unit because they know consumers assume bulk is cheaper.
Always check the math. You’ll frequently find that two smaller bottles on sale are cheaper than one "Value Size" jug. Trust the data, not the packaging. 🧠💡
