    Who really wants to use Excel to figure out if the 24-pack of Coca-Cola or the 3 12 packs is a better deal?

      I don’t need to, there’s a legal requirement to print prices per liter or kg on every price tag here.

        Does this requirement exist for toilet paper? Because I don’t know what the hell is considered a better deal based on all the marketing.

          Sadly, no. Paper towels and toilet paper are evil. Different sizes rolls with different amounts of sheets with different layers with different prices.

        But if you want to buy only half a kg, you don’t know how much it costs (if you dont know basic maths)- because it only lists the price for a full kg. Do you start pulling out your Excel for that?

          Every offer lists how much per kg that offer is. So I do not need any calculations to see which offer is cheaper at all. Why would the price per kilo become useless of I only buy half a Kilo?
