Stuffing Mix Per Ounce: Cheapest Way to Stuff Thanksgiving

Stuffing is a side dish that is easy to overbuy, and the price on the shelf rarely tells you what you are paying per ounce. This page lists the best current values so you can fill the table without overspending.

Which stuffing mix is cheapest per ounce?

Here are the top 5 stuffing mixes by price per ounce, from Dealophant's data on Nov 13, 5:31 PM UTC:

• Stove Top Stuffing Mix, Savory Herbs, 6 oz Box: $0.84 for 6 oz, or $0.14 per oz
• Stove Top Savory Herbs Stuffing Mix, Instant Side Dish for...: $3.36 for 24 oz, or $0.14 per oz
• Amazon Grocery, Chicken Flavor Stuffing Mix, 6 Oz: $1.28 for 6 oz, or $0.21 per oz
• Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Classic Stuffing, 12 oz. Bag: $2.68 for 12 oz, or $0.22 per oz
• Stove Top Stuffing Mix, Chicken, 6 oz: $1.50 for 6 oz, or $0.25 per oz

The list is sorted by price per ounce, not by sticker price. A low sticker price can still be a poor deal if the package is small.

Is the biggest package always cheapest per ounce?

No. Many shoppers assume a larger bag or a multipack always wins, but that is not guaranteed. The listings differ in size and total price, and the order follows the cost of each ounce, not the amount of food in the package.

Multipacks are a good example. A pack of several small boxes can price out lower than a single large bag, or higher. The only way to know is to divide the total price by the total ounces, which is what Dealophant does for every listing.

How do you compare stuffing mix prices fairly?

Start with the total weight in ounces, not the number of boxes. Then divide the price by that weight. A few habits help:

• Use the total weight of a multipack, not the weight of a single box.
• Compare dry stuffing mix with dry stuffing mix, since different styles can differ in how much they make once prepared.
• Remember that you may still add broth, butter, onion or celery, which cost extra whichever mix you choose.

Before you buy

Thanksgiving demand pushes prices around, and popular items can sell out in the days before the holiday. Check the package size on the Amazon listing before you order, since the same product is often sold in several sizes and multipacks. Buying a little early gives you time to switch if your first choice runs out.
