PSA: Check the unit price on bulk rice before you buy
I saw a 5 pound bag of rice at my local WinCo for $4.50 and grabbed it without thinking. Then I noticed the smaller 1 pound bag was $0.89, which comes out way cheaper per pound. I did the math and I was overpaying by about 30 cents per pound for the bigger bag. Has anyone else caught this on other staples like oats or beans?

The stores count on folks not doing the math at the shelf. Unit pricing is right there on the tag, but most people just grab the biggest bag because it looks like a better deal. I started checking everything, not just rice. Oats and beans are the same way, and even pasta sometimes. It takes an extra ten seconds but it saves a few bucks every trip.
