What are unit prices and why do they matter?
Unit prices help consumers compare prices and find the best value for money. By showing the cost per standard unit (such as per kilogram or per litre), shoppers can easily compare products of different sizes and brands.
Who must display unit prices, where, how, and for what products?
The ACCC states that there are rules about who must display unit prices, where, how, and for what products. These rules ensure that consumers have consistent access to unit price information when shopping for groceries.
How the ACCC supports consumers
The ACCC provides information about unit prices and related rules. Consumers can also report a consumer issue to the ACCC if they encounter problems with unit price displays or other grocery pricing concerns.
