minus-squareAcamon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoIn Britain lots of beers come on both sizes, and it makes comparing prices #mildlyinfuriating. Is 6x500ml at £7.99 better than 4x440ml at £4.50? What if there’s an 12 pack of 330ml stubbies for £15, but it’s Buy One Get One Free?
minus-squarebean@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-28 months agoPurely curious myself, I asked GPT4 for you. This is the response: Here’s how the prices compare per liter: • 6x500ml at £7.99: £2.66 per liter • 4x440ml at £4.50: £2.56 per liter • 12x330ml at £15 (Buy One Get One Free): £1.89 per liter The 12 pack of 330ml stubbies (with the Buy One Get One Free offer) offers the best value at £1.89 per liter.
minus-squareSeeker of Carcosa@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoGPT4 is wrong and it doesn’t require a price per litre comparison to prove it. 4 cans at 440ml cost £4.50. Therefore 12 cans at 440ml cost £13.50, £1.50 less than 12 cans at 330ml.
minus-squareSugarSnack@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoBuy one get one free though - it’s actually 24 x 330ml for £15
