How to compare prices per kilogram, litre or item
Compare products of different sizes without relying on package price.
Check the quantity
Find the actual grams, kilograms, millilitres or item count.
Use one unit
Convert 750 grams into 0.75 kilograms before dividing.
Divide price by quantity
You will get euros per kilogram, litre or item.
Consider quality and waste
A lower unit price may not help if much of the product goes to waste.
Worked example
A 750 g pack for €3 costs €4/kg; a 1 kg pack for €3.70 costs €3.70/kg.
These examples are educational and may not fit every situation.
