We'll see,
For 6ounces @$0.87/ea you pay, $0.87/ 6 ounces = $0.145 per ounce of orange juice.
For 8 ounces @$1.25/ea you pay, $1.25/8 ounces= $0.15625 per ounce of orange juice.
There you see which one has the better buy - the 6ounce at $0.87. The difference is so minimal and you can only feel that difference if you buy many cans.
Thank you,
Jojo
