- StavrosK 8y agoGreece does this, and it's a lifesaver. No more ballparking the math, I buy the cheapest shampoo and toothpaste per liter very easily.
- icebraining 8y agoIt's EU-wide, thanks to the Price Indications Directive (98/6/EC).
- mcv 8y agoYeah, it's really convenient. I often compare the price per weight when choosing between two different but similar items. I also remember a time when I needed a new dishwasher, and one shop had it from $300 for $200, while another shop just had the same dishwasher simply for $200. I got it from the second shop, of course.
- klyrs 8y agoCanada does this, but often products are sold per kg, lb, or 100g. Frequently, different tiers of quality are sold in different units, so comparison shopping is that much more tedious. And the 100g thing is especially pernicious -- all too often, a first glance indicates a 50% discount that careful examination shows to be a 5x markup!
