I've noticed, for example, that Gatorade's unit price was based on a gallon, where Powerade was based on a quart. So, if you're not paying attention, Gatorade could appear cheaper. I've also noticed this with paper towels because of the sheet size.

I wouldn't expect any less. ;) Sorry about the RSS feed. I implemented a hack to limit the front page but keep the feeds full, but I must've blown it out in the last upgrade. I put the hack back and it should be full feeds like normal from here on. If it isn't, please let me know. Of course you guys already use the unit price. I wouldn’t expect any less. ;)

Oh, and for some reason the RSS feed didn't have the entire article - instead it had the "more" link on there.
