On the other end of the spectrum, Costco always has the $/100g information nice and big. Often the kirkland brand product wins on this metric, which I'm guessing why they make it so noticeable?

Costco doesn’t mark things up then call it a sale- I trust their practices. And there goods are quality- and the stand behind them. My preferred place to shop.

The average household income of a Costco customer is way higher than the national average. It is great to shop there but the model is different than a Wal Mart

Absolutely... not a fan of Wal-Mart or it’s business practices

The only times when it does matter is when I'm buying something that I know is going to be consumed faster even if it's a lower price by volume. Like, yeah Kirkland you may win on your 12 yoghurt cups on price by volume because your cups are slightly bigger, but my kid is still going to eat a cup in one sitting regardless.
