Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Pen, Pencil, or even Stylus
  • Calculator
  • Paper or Digital Notepad

Step1
Ok, so head to your supermarket of choice.
Step2
Get out your tools. That's so you don't forget the numbers you'll be punching in, and so you can see the money you're saving.
Step3
When you're out checking price tags, look very closely at two things. The first is the number of ounces, grams, pounds, or milliliters that is being sold. This number is the total weight of whatever it is your buying that comes in the package. You'll use it in a simple equation with the number you'll get from the next step.
