2.  Shopping for bargains by comparing the prices of similar items or brands or comparing the prices at different stores.  To get a bargain, or get the best value, you must compare not only price, but quality as well.

3.  Unit pricing is figuring the price per unit— such as › per ounce › per pound › per individual item (such as an egg that comes in a carton of a dozen, or one soda that comes in a 12 pack)

4. Which is the better bargain?  2 pounds of bananas for $1.00  OR  3 pounds of bananas for $2.00? To find the answer, divide the cost by the amount to find the price per unit:

5.  $1.00 divided by 2 =.50 per Pound  $2.00 divided by 3 =.67 per Pound
