Valiant effort, but the top minds of the world, whether human or machine, are no match for Charmin’s obfuscation techniques. bangyourbuck.com/search/…/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.
Wow thanks that is awesome, gotta remember that site. For rice I already found the 50lbs pack that also beats my local discount grocer (which is rare).
What pisses me off that amazon has made it’s “sort by cheapest” completely unusable. You find 100 pages of the exact same ultra-trashy product or something related or a replacement part or something.
Search for a USB flash drive to find some really sketchy scam attempts. Looks like you’re getting a gazillion gigabytes for a few dollars, but in reality you’ll get a lesson in what e-waste means. Scroll down to find the realistic products with realistic prices.
Exactly. There is so much stuff online and off and they depend on folks not giving in to convenience. The way amazon treats both their workers and their sellers is horrendous. I make it a point of shopping elsewhere and only in extreme circumstances buy there.
Getting the best value is frequently an economic mistake for a buyer because it does not take into account the present vs future value of money. Not to mention how it is sure to increase your waste/shrink factor and so can eat up its own savings.
Don't deliberately overconsume just to feel like a savvy buyer. Buy a reasonable amount for your own needs and no more. I get that we all like Costco, but the business model really isn't that good for typical consumers.
I usually only buy dry rice/beans and the like bulk, which I eat the same amount of every week pretty much regardless. But still only ever buy like a month or so worth at a time.
Getting bulk snacks though from costco… that is a bad move.
