Tip on grocery shopping

The big size isn't necessarily the best buy anymore. Stores or producers seem to have decided to take advantage of the long-established practice of selling the bigger size cheaper-per-ounce, by upping the price randomly. For those who use a lot of some item (so that the large size might be worth the buying, if the cost is better), it's well worth checking the per-ounce cost before you buy. There is little use in buying lots that won't be used, though, as getting too much just spends money earlier than needed and often results in significant waste, as well as leaving less to earn interest in the savings account.
