That\u2019s a pretty good deal as usually these would go for $3 to $5.  I then scanned the smaller box listed as 100 grams and the price of that was 49 cents each.  That\u2019s a way better deal as it would make more sense to purchase multiple boxes of those if you were to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Usually the smaller items are more expensive such as buying those little juice boxes versus a one or two litre product as an example.
