WALMART CUSTOMER SHOWS HOW 'VALUE PACK' OF ITEMS AREN'T ALWAYS THE BEST DEAL

TikTok mom bjones4545 (@bjones4545) is always on the lookout for a bargain. But in a TikTok she posted Wednesday, she claims that Walmart isn’t being upfront about the value of its economy-sized packages.

In the video, Jones claims that the difference between unit prices shows that you’re better off getting the smaller 10-unit box of granola bars than the largest-sized box of 48. “These ones are a pack of ten, $1.78,” Jones explains to her viewers. “Twenty-four, $3.84, and then the giant box of 48 for $6.47.”

“You have to look at the unit price,” she warns. “15.9, 16.0, 14.8. These ones are actually the cheapest,” she says, picking the 10-count box with the cheapest unit price of 14.8.

Unit Price refers to the cost per unit, measured in pounds, ounces, quarts, gallons, or granola bars. According to the Department of Consumer Protection, “Many people believe that larger sizes are always the best buy.” But bigger isn’t necessarily better.
