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?

Say something is 10 cents per oz, and a dollar, you get 10 oz.
The bigger size is 8 cents per oz, and 2 dollars. You get 25 oz.

It’s basically helping you calculate how much each ounce is, right? So if you wanted to get more, you’d get more, at a cheaper cost per unit. You’re paying mover overall but you’re getting more. You’d have to get a bit more than 2 even of the first example to equal how much you get in the 2nd, and it still wouldn’t even out in price.

Look at the labels (at least here) pretty much everything has it broken down for you, which is pretty convenient.
