Which is a better buy 1lb of walnuts for 3.49 or 10oz of walnuts for 2.49?
If you buy 2 of the 8-ounce packages, that will be 1 lb, and it
will cost 2 x $5.18 = $10.36. Compare this to buy 1 of the pound
packages which will cost $10.72. Looks like buying the 8-ounce
package is a better buy. Looking at it another way, the 8-ounce
costs 45.18/8oz = 0.648/ounce and the 1pound costs 410.72/16oz =
0.67/ounce, so again, it is cheaper per ounce to buy the 8-ounce
package.
