Supermarket trips can add up fast, but you have a proven ally: the price per kilo. Legally required on every label, it's the key to spotting true value and stretching your budget further.

Food ranks as the second-largest household expense after housing, making smart shopping essential. Years of budgeting advice from financial experts highlight simple tactics like unit pricing to ease this burden.
Comparing price per kilo or liter reveals genuine deals, helping families cut costs without sacrificing quality.
Supermarkets often tuck it in fine print, but the law mandates it on all labels: price per kilo or liter. This lets you compare fairly across products.
Don't fall for the smaller pack trap—like choosing a 200g jar over a 500g one thinking it's cheaper. Larger sizes frequently offer better per-kilo value, saving more in the long run.
Maximize savings by scanning labels and comparing rigorously to find top brands and formats.
If shopping alone, skip oversized packs for lower per-kilo rates—waste erases gains. Stick to similar small sizes for smarter buys.
