Why is buying something with lower cost per ounce somehow cheaper or a better deal than buying something with a higher cost per ounce, even if the total price is higher for the lower cost per ounce product?
In:
It is cheaper only if you end up using all of it.
If you are indeed 5 years old and are told you need to bring a pack of 10 crayons to school, your parents might buy a 10 pack for $2, or 20¢ each.
However, if they know that you like to spend your free time drawing and that you go through a LOT of crayons, they might buy the 40 pack for $4, or 10¢ each.
The 40 pack wouldn’t be a smart buy if you didn’t like drawing, but it would be for a budding artist.
