You got me there! Freshman mistake. The correct numbers a

A box with two 18-ft long, 11-inch (gallon) rolls cost me $13.84 ($6.92 per
roll).

$13.84 / (2*11/12*18)= 0.42 /sqft. B&D @ Walmart


..
I recently bought 4-11"x18' & 2-8"x22' Tillia bags at Costco for $39.95.
$39.95/ (4*11/12*18) + (2*8/12*22)

=39.95/ 95.33

=$0.42/sqft. Tillia @ Costco

So an 11x12 costs 39 cents. Still pretty expensive compared to Ziplocks.
