Price Comparison Guide
Why compare unit prices?
Comparing unit prices is the most effective way to save money in the store. The same brand in different packaging can have significantly different price per 100g or 100ml. Larger packages often offer better value, but not always - check unit price to avoid apparent deals. Many stores put unit price on the label, but you can also quickly calculate it yourself.
What to watch when shopping?
- Compare the same products - compare unit prices only for comparable products
- Check expiration date - cheaper product with short date may not be worth it
- Pay attention to promotions - "3 for 2" doesn't always mean savings
- Buy in season - fruits and vegetables are cheaper in season
Smart shopping strategies
Plan shopping with a list and stick to it to avoid impulse purchases. Compare prices in different stores - sometimes the same products vary significantly in price. Use coupons and promotional apps. Buy products in larger quantities when on sale and freeze or store them. Also remember store brand products - they often offer the same quality for lower prices than brand equivalents.
