How do I find a unit price of an item?

How To Find Unit Prices

How do you know you're saving money? Take a calculator with you to the grocery store and calculate the unit price. What is the formula for finding the unit price? Although some stores post these prices on their shelves, many of these prices fall off, are under the wrong product, or were just never there. Learn to do it yourself so you can save money. You may find out that bulk is not necessarily cheaper. Give some specific examples. Comparison shop at a warehouse and at a general grocery store. Were unit prices better at some stores or the same? Take a poll to see how many people know how to find a unit price - and don't take their word - ask them to do it!
