Tips for improving accuracy
Do not choose by the package total alone. Divide the price by its unit quantity before comparing vendors. Check dimensions and units as well as the number itself. The game works on desktops, tablets and phones without installing an application.
Frequently asked questions
Does the cheapest package have the best unit rate?
Not always. Compare price divided by the number of units; a larger package can offer a lower cost per unit.
Does this game use live shopping prices?
No. All amounts are generated educational examples, not current retailer quotes.
