SALSA
A buck for a jar of Pace salsa sounds like an amazing deal, especially when compared with the $5.94 Walmart charges for a 64-ounce bottle of the same brand. But again, a larger size results in greater savings. Walmart comes out ahead with a cost of about 9.28 cents an ounce, while Dollar Tree’s 8-ounce jar costs 12.5 cents an ounce, nearly 35 percent more per ounce. Dollar Tree customers have to spend $8 to get the amount of salsa that Walmart sells for less than $6.
