Unit Pricing - Grocery Calculator 2009/03/25 14:04

Supermarkets in Australia should now be showing unit pricing on all items that they have on their shelves. It displys the price of goods per unit measure eg 100g, 100ml, 1kg, 1l or each. It's to help you make a better choice when buying the different sizes within a brand. Here's an example of how unit pricing works...
Lets take Milo...
It's $3.10for a 200g tin, therefore Unit Pricing is $1.55 per 100g, and Nestle Milo is $9.95 for a 1kg tin, therefore Unit pricing is $1.00 per 100g - you can decide which one is the better choice.
If you need help with the actual caluclation it is the price divided by the weight/measure and then multiply x 100...
3.10 divide by 200 and then multiply x 100 = 1.55
9.95 divide by 1000 (1kg in grams) and then multiply x 100 = 1.00
Now you have your own grocery calculator!

What's the Secret?
Do you want to know the secret to hanging on to your money?
So after being out of the house almost all of last weekend at the
seminar, we decided to have a weekend adventure closer to home. Like
everyone the usual chores had to be done, and of course the lawn needed
a good mow after the week’s rain.
We have been driving past the development of the Kangaroo Point Cliff Park
since it commence a year or so ago, and now that it is finished we
decided to take a picnic and check it out. As luck would have it
parking was a breeze on Sunday afternoon and the park itself was
relatively empty. There is loads of vantage points to view the city
(will be great for New Years Eve and River Fire celebrations),
and of course lots of lovely fresh lawn to relax on. In addition there
are several BBQ’s and it looks as though the cafe is almost ready to
open complete with a liquor license!
We took a very basic picnic of sandwiches and drinks and found a
shady spot to enjoy the surrounds and read. As a side note; that would
be one thing that I would point out, shade at the moment is at a
premium so until the trees become more established I would recommend
visiting at early morning or late afternoon during the summer months.
Why don’t you find a local spot that you haven’t been to before, or
not for a long time, pack a picnic, grab a book or games for the kids
and get out in the fresh air and enjoy the many green spaces Brisbane has to offer, they are pretty much all free!
