You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What we can do here is to get the price per ounce so we know where we can get good price if you want to buy in bigger quantities.
15 oz $2.39 = 2.39%2F15=0.1593333%2Foz
18 oz $2.87 = 2.87%2F18=0.1594444%2Foz
24 oz $3.79 = 3.79%2F24=0.1579166%2Foz
32 oz $5.10 = 5.10%2F32=0.159375%2Foz
There you go, you can see the 3rd size of box gives you a better deal,
--------> 24oz=3.79 CHOOSE THIS ONE
Thank you,
