How can I compare the money saved when buying an item in bulk? - eviltoast

Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

    If it’s food, it needs constant refrigeration and such. If it’s fidget spinners or whatever, those can usually last on the shelf for years.

    Without knowing even roughly what OP is looking to purchase in bulk, we don’t have sufficient information to calculate.

    Let’s say you purchase 1000 bananas. How long are they gonna last before they’re all sold, vs going bad? But if you purchase 1000 fidget spinners, they might last 20 years on the shelf.

    Insufficient information. Without knowing even the type of product, we can’t make any assessments on the additional cost of storage.
