How This Data Is Collected

Every size and price figure on this page is community-submitted by shoppers who noticed a change. Reports are shown as submitted and are unverified unless explicitly marked โ€œVerifiedโ€, which means a moderator or supporting evidence confirmed the change. Prices vary by store, region, and date, so treat the per-ounce figures as informed estimates rather than official manufacturer data.
