Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math!

Only if it is a 2 pack of 1kg containers. I know costco does that often so I imagine walmart might too. (And if that 2-for-12 runs you a total of 4 kg.)

Top one is 2kg (single unit) and the bottom is sold as a 1 kg single unit, or 2 / $12 (2 x 1kg), which is STILL not a better value than the top one! LOL

It very well could be typical corporate fuckery, but that makes me wonder if it’s actually a bug and that it’s computing the per kg price based on the single until price but dividing by the total weight of the pack.
Or perhaps it’s a “bug” that’s left intentionally until called out.

If it’s a “bug” that they are actively profiting from, likely for years, it’s probably a feature! LOL
