Why is the price listed at $0.04/ounce? It says there's three 2.5oz boxes, which is 7.5oz total, or $3.10/ounce. Is there something else included?

Emilio, you started the right way but you did not divide far enough. Dividing 70 into .04 is .0306. Round the 6 off and make the 3 a 4 and you get .04. So, cost is .04 per ounce. Hope this makes sense. If you need more help let me know. Have a good evening, Linda

The 0.04 is the number of oz. per packet. 2.5 oz. divided by 70 packets (in a box) = 0.0357 oz/packet which is rounded up to 0.04 oz./packet. The cost/oz is $23.29 divided by the total wt. of the 3 boxes which is 7.5 oz. The cost is $3.11/oz.

You are absolutely right. I was mixing packets with ounces. So, I would say that is a question for Amazon advertising. I wasn't paying attention when I ordered. I just knew I wants the product and the price per box seemed fair. So, you may want to ask amazon.

Dear Anthony, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We apologize for any confusion. Please know that Amazon is directly responsible for setting the "price per oz" prices that are indicated in the item descriptions. We have been in contact with them to tell them that these are incorrect, and they have yet to correct this mistake. Please disregard the price per ounce, as it is incorrect on many products that are sold on Amazon. Hope this helps clarify! Best in Health, Jessi V.

I don't know what you are looking at. The bottle of oil is 15 ml. I don't know what description and listing you are talking about giving the 3 ounces and $3/ounce etc. Wish I could help but I don't understand where the question is coming from.........Kathleen

And for some reason, they've TRIPLED THE PRICE. It was $20 for 6 boxes in 11/13, and now is ALMOST $60. I can buy it at the local grocery store for $4 a box (same size), so 6 boxes would be $24. I won't buy it through Amazon again.

Kathleen, what it says is that the price for the 4 each 16 oz bags (64 ounces) comes to 0.32 per ounce; or rather, 32 cents an ounce which equates to $20.48 for the order. The actual price is closer to 31.8 cents per ounce. The listing shows (0.32/ounce) with the slant bar meaning "per" and, of course, they left the dollar sign out of the equation - it would go before the "0.32" - which means you pretty much have to decipher the listing. Hope this helps.

Same here... Amazon has been out of stock for weeks so the other, third-party vendors prices are crazy. I found it at Walmart for $5.95 for a box of four. So that $1.48ea vs. $1.41ea @ $17/box.

I used to buy the 8 oz. boxes but about 2 months ago they were replaced by 4 oz. boxes. Biggest disadvantage is that the price per oz. almost doubled! Have noticed this with many other food products also, everything from ice cream to cereal to soup to bread.

when I bought mine, I got 2 cans (each 3 oz) for a total of 6 ounces. I assume that's the same offer you're asking about

I bought them a couple of years ago, but certainly would not have paid that much for only 8. I would expect to receive 2 boxes of 8 for $38. You should confirm before ordering.

They sure have priced it out of the market. I'll be darn if I'll pay $8 for 1.5 oz. This went from a helpful product to a luxury. This economy has taught me how to cut out luxuries.

That's still $.55/oz buying that gallon, I went to a different brand and found it for $.34/ounce - Nutiva keeps raising prices on other items too - they keep losing my business!! It's not gradual either, they literally DOUBLED the price one day - with no explanation. Bad move.

I went back and looked at the ad for this on Amazon and when I bought this it was just 1 box for $19.99 - I can't believe that it is now 6 boxes for $19.99??? Just does not make sense, I don't understand why it says 6 boxes but I temped to order and see.

I don't know why amazon has put this up. It really has nothing to do with the product. 1 box does make more than 1 batch of jam or jelly and maybe they are showing the cost per ounce because of that. Even though I can't figure out how they came up with those figures.

All the prices per ounce on all the sizes are off. Not really sure why? And right now the 2/4oz bottle package are more than buying two of the 4oz individual.....odd.

Oh, no--I think that is the price for 3 packages. I always buy 3 at a time, and I think they come fastened together. In drugstores, they used to cost about $29 per package of 12, so this figures out about the same. They are no longer available in stores in my area. You can perhaps double check the description in their ad to make sure that it is 3 boxes. Good luck!

That is a question that the seller has to answer, not a customer who previously ordered this product (which is very good, by the way). The per ounce cost is closer to the 22 oz. size with the cost of the 12 oz product. I'm sure it's a clerical error.

I can get it locally for $7/box, but $14/box on amazon (through CustomerFirst) is outrageous. I even checked, it's the same size box.
