Economy of scale (American version)

Powdered nutmeg

We are going to make egg nog for the coming Christmas party. And that calls for nutmeg. Now the smaller bottle is $3.63 while the bigger bottle is $2.30. And over here in USA, the price tag will state the price/pound. So it's $53.43 for the small bottle and $17.45 for the bigger bottle.

Now.. The receipe only calls for 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. And the supermarket brand is similar to those branded brands.

Which will you take??

In the end, we took the bigger bottle... Why pay more for a smaller bottle? Well.. that's USA, u pay less for bigger bottles.
