Three offers, three conditions

Cheerios Original 8.9 oz at Target 39602815 displayed$3.29 with an in-stock indication. Frosted Flakes Original 13.5 oz UPC 038000199042 displayed$2.99 at Kroger's default Rolla location, but pickup and delivery were unavailable. Life Original 13 oz UPC 030000063545 displayed$5.59 at Harris Teeter Village at Chestnut Street with pickup available and delivery unavailable. These are not one merchant basket sharing a delivery charge.

Choose the denominator

Each offer is one box. Net-weight ounces are also explicit for all three. The displayed-price arithmetic is about$0.3697,$0.2215 and$0.4300 per net-weight ounce respectively. These are mass ounces, not fluid ounces, cup volumes or portions. The cheapest normalized quote is still unavailable in its observed fulfillment context; a rate does not create stock.

Keep the outlay visible

One of each sums to$11.87 merchandise before confirmed credit, shipping, tax or other charges. This is a planning ledger, not a combined checkout. A full merchandise credit can reduce merchandise to zero while shipping and tax remain. A two-for-one message needs confirmed conditions and quantity; entering a speculative discount changes arithmetic without making a promotion real.

Before ordering

Choose a store and fulfillment method, confirm flavor and size, and inspect the final charge lines. If your quote differs, enter it and retain the observation date. Do not compare Original 13.5 oz against a different flavor's recommendation tile. If a seller quotes a case, establish its exact box count and size before replacing a single-box input.

A cash-budget example

A ten-dollar merchandise budget does not buy one of each at these three quoted prices:their sum is11.87before charges. Removing an item is a choice about your shortlist,not evidence that a coupon exists. You can set its quantity to zero in the ledger and see the resulting merchandise base. Then enter actual shipping and tax. This keeps a planning decision visible without pretending the three retailers offer one consolidated checkout.
