How I stopped eyeballing grocery prices and finally used the unit price tags

I used to just grab whatever box of cereal was on sale and pat myself on the back for it, but last year I actually checked the per ounce price at the Kroger near my place and realized I was paying 40% more for the "deal" brand. Now I spend 30 extra seconds in the aisle doing simple math on my phone, and it adds up to like $20 off my monthly cart total. The switch happened around August when my kid pointed at two jars of peanut butter and asked why the small one cost more per pound. Has anyone else found a boring everyday trick that quietly skipped their budget off the curb?
