If you remember way back in elementary school when you took math, there was the term Lowest Common Denominator. It referred to the lower common number you could convert two fractions.
Many times when I talk about price comparisons, I will convert products into ounces. I will say generic strawberry jam at Wal Mart is 7.75 cents per ounce. Then at WINCO their strawberry jam is 7.6 per ounce. Once jar is 32 ounce, and the other store’s jar is 46 ounce.
Every time my wife and I would go shopping we would be buying at least 1 box of freezer bags. Then there was the sandwich bags for lunches. In my mind this was a waste of money and harm to our green earth.
One gallon freezer bag is 9 cents. A plastic reusable 8 cup reusable food container 68 cents each. That means if I reuse the 8 cup container 8 times I make for a greener earth and save 4 cents per container.
Note: There is 16 US cups to 1 US gallon. I have never been able to comfortably put a full gallon of product in a plastic bag.
