It’s a website that lets you sort amazon by price per ounce/pound/count
Some examples are:
Cheapest rice per pound https://bangyourbuck.com/search/rice/Lb/US/grid
Cheapest batteries by count: https://bangyourbuck.com/search/aa batteries/Count/US/grid
Hard drives by terabyte: https://bangyourbuck.com/search/hard drive/Terabyte/US/grid
Been using it for months, and I can’t stand using Amazon without it now.
Valiant effort, but the top minds of the world, whether human or machine, are no match for Charmin’s obfuscation techniques. https://bangyourbuck.com/search/charmin ultra strong/Count/US/table
Looks okay until you realize that the “count” field refers to different things across different listings. Some count rolls, some count sheets, some count packages.
Comparing prices of toilet paper and papers towels is 100x harder than it needs to be.
Curses!
Garbage in, garbage out I suppose!
Charmin really is the king of “1 sheet equals 3, and 1 roll is 2, but our sheets are half the size! So really this roll is 12 rolls!”
I once went on a deep dive trying to figure out whether napkins or paper towels were cheaper I probably still have the spreadsheets.
I did the same thing with Kleenex vs toilet paper. TP won.
Don’t leave us hanging! What is it?
For the comparison I was doing (it can be hard to compare the two products,) I found paper towels were almost always cheaper (per unit area.)
But that was pre-pandemic, so prices are probably way different by now.
Should be length though.
then what about width? and two-ply?
True. Area then. And ply number is a qualifier not a quantifier. People who want two ply are not going to switch to one or three just because of price.and vice versa.
