Hunger encourages whim buying and discourages taking time to compare prices (and ingredients). Big sizes used to be cheaper, a good buy if you normally go through a lot, but that's often no longer the case as producers or stores take advantage of the common assumption. Check also real contents, not box size: they don't shrink the can or box just because they are selling you less than they used to, or you may be buying more filler and less of what you want.
As an example, check out the juice aisle: 100% juice isn't the same as 100% of the juice on the label. Apple juice and white grape juice are common substitutes: cheap, sweet, and less nutritious than many of the other juices. "Juice drinks" are even worse, barely more than koolaid. Go for the koolaid mix if you're aiming for flavored sugar water and buy some reusable water bottles for taking it along. It's vastly cheaper for the same thing. Shop wise, not just cheap.
