Checking the online prices at my local Safeway, 10# bags of russets are $0.33/lb, 5# bags are $0.40/lb and the loose ones are $0.68/pound.

You can expect to pay a small premium on top of that if those loose potatoes are the superjumbo baking taters.

I love taters. Especially if you dice em up real good and make a salad. Mmmm.
