I’ve started to pay more attention to Costco’s “price per unit” entries on those tags, I just wish that other stores that have lots of comparable items side-by-side would do it.

Making price per unit mandatory on all retail items sold would go a long way toward making shrinkflation transparent for the customer

Metro shows the price per 100g in the tiniest most illegible font. It's specially hard to read on their new e-ink price tags.

There's one store (I think it's Walmart but I'm not 100% sure) that will put the price per unit on everything, but in one product category you might have price/100g, price per individual item (1 cookie), price per sub-packaging (sleeve of crackers in a box), or it'll count the entire product as 1 of 1 units.
