Yeah, that's what the math says. But I usually just buy my regular
size.
If I bought the smallest one, I'd have to replace it sooner. My time
is certainly
worth something to me.

Then again, I usually just buy stuff when I need it. If it's on sale
when I need
it, and it's something I go through on a regular basis (e.g., toilet
paper), I'll probably
buy an extra. If it's on sale when I need it, but I don't use it very
often (e.g.,
flour), I won't buy an extra. Seems foolish to keep my money tied up
on the
pantry shelf when it could be doing other things.
