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.
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.
That’s a fine point!
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.
