shop smart in the dairy aisle
Go for the big cheese -- you'll get more for your money.
| Food | Size and Price Per Package | Cost/Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Yogurt, vanilla | 8-ounce container, $.99 each | $.99 per 8 ounces |
| Yogurt, vanilla | 32-ounce container, $2.79 | $.70 per 8 ounces |
| Cheese, string (mozzarella), individually wrapped, 1 ounce each | 12-ounce package, $4.49 | $5.99 per pound |
| Cheese, mozzarella, part skim | 1 pound, $5.29 | $5.29 per pound |
Tip: Good things don’t always have to come in small packages. When it comes to dairy items, the bigger size container or package can help you save big. Spoon a serving of yogurt into a bowl and slice your own, one-ounce cheese snack.
