Last year I was looking at something online. One place advertised free shipping, so I was sort of leaning to that even tho it was slightly more expensive. Checked the shipping cost at the other place & guess what- it came up to the same cost as the other company . Shipping wasn’t “free” they just added it to the price! No I didn’t buy it from them.
Stores use all kinds of tricks. It used to be that the larger the package the cheaper the price on a per unit basis, but not any more. You really need to be aware. This morning I was going to pick up some juice at the market and the 64oz bottles were $2.00 the 3 liter or 101.4 oz bottles were $3.98. I would have picked the larger bottle but checked the per unit price and the smaller bottles were 3.1 cents per ounce and the large bottle was 3.9 cents per ounce.
