Can anyone recommend a price comparison app? I'm not talking about one that searches various online stores to find the best price. I'm talking about when you're in a store and there are 2 brands or 2 sizes of an item. I'm looking for an app where you can enter both prices and it will tell which is cheaper per oz. etc, without having to do the math manually.

You would have to input the price and ounces anyway.. May as well use a calculator.
BTW in many store like shoprite etc the price per ounce is displayed. In frum store there is no price at all.

True, but I still need to keep track of 2 numbers. By the time I calculate the second one, I forgot the first one.
Most of my shopping is in frum stores. Even in goyish stores, many times the 2 items will be measured with different systems, for example, one will be per 100 and one will be per oz.

Looks good. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Simple trick. If for example there are 2 packages of wipes one with 50 for $1.10 and the other 60 for $1.25. Divide 110 cents by 50 (=2.2 cents per wipe) then multiply the result (2.2) by 60. If you get less than 125 then the 50 count is cheaper, but if you get more than 125 then obviously the 60 count is less than 2.2 cents per wipe.

That works if there's 2. What about items where you have Gefen, Leiber's, Mishpacha, Haddar, etc.

Usually it says on the price tag how much per once.

I swore by textra and even paid for pro until it started separating my convos. For example, I would have one thread for all messages sent to person A and one thread for all messages received from person A.

It really got on my nerves so I switched back to Google messages which is actually very similar

I'm looking for a good process explorer app
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
