If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Unit pricing shows what a food costs per ounce, pound, quart, or other unit so you can compare brands and package sizes fairly. This guide describes how to use shelf unit-price labels, when bigger “family size” items may not save money due to waste or storage limits, and how store brands can offer value. It also outlines simple steps and common conversions to calculate unit prices yourself when labels are missing or inconsistent.
