Spent 45 minutes staring at deli meat prices before I noticed the unit pricing at the bottom

Was at the grocery store yesterday trying to figure out which ham was actually the better deal. The store brand was $5.99 for 8 ounces and the name brand was $8.49 for 12 ounces but my brain just could not do the math. Then I looked down and saw the price per ounce in tiny print at the bottom of the shelf tag. Made my decision in like 10 seconds. Has anyone else been sleeping on those unit price labels for way too long?

Wait, is that what those tiny numbers at the bottom are for? I always just guessed and hoped for the best. Now I gotta start using those, that's a game changer.

Those little numbers saved me from like 3 panic attacks last week alone @drew_west. I used to just throw darts at the board and pray but now I actually check them and still get it wrong half the time lol. Still better than guessing completely blind though, trust me.
