Here in Australia, we don’t have unit price in the shelf tickets and most shoppers don’t know what you are talking about if you refer to the unit price of item. Here I work in kilogram or litre (1000) so that you see an item by price per kg or litre. E.g. Coffee 200g @ $3.99 or Coffee 500g $7.84. The unit prices would be $19.95 for 200g and $15.68 for 500g; it’s the same coffee only the size is different. It’s when an item read $84 per litre you do start to asked yourself, if I can buy this cheaper else where.

As I keep a price book, my formulas are in the back of the price book so if I need to work on problem or unit price I can do so!
