Which Units and Countries Does Bang Your Buck Support?

Updated

Bang Your Buck supports three families of units — weight, volume, and count/storage — plus five country selections: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Deutschland, and France. You pick the units you want the results sorted by, and the site says units are auto-converted whenever possible, so you don't have to convert prices by hand before comparing.

Supported units

Weight

Unit
Pounds
Ounces
Kilograms
Grams
Milligrams

Volume

Unit
Fluid ounces
Gallons
Liters
Milliliters
Cups
Quarts
Pints

Count and computer storage

Unit
Count
Terabytes (TB)
Gigabytes (GB)
Megabytes (MB)

The storage units are a separate addition to the tool, aimed at comparing things like RAM, hard drives, and SSDs by MB, GB, or TB rather than by weight or volume.

Supported countries

  • United States
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Deutschland
  • France

How the unit and country choices work together

The workflow described on the site is: type an item to search for, select which units to sort by, select your country, then calculate. Two things are worth noting before you rely on the output:

  • Units are auto-converted "whenever possible." That phrasing means conversion isn't guaranteed in every case. If a listing uses a unit outside the set above, or a format the tool can't parse, expect that item to be handled differently or left out of the comparison.
  • Country selection is a filter, not a currency converter. The site lists country options but doesn't state that it converts currencies, so treat the country choice as scoping which listings you see rather than normalizing prices across borders.

Choosing your units in practice

Pick the unit that matches how you actually buy the product, not the unit with the smallest number:

  • Grocery and bulk dry goods — pounds, ounces, kilograms, or grams, depending on whether the listings you're comparing use imperial or metric.
  • Liquids — gallons, quarts, pints, fluid ounces, liters, or milliliters. Cups are available too, which is useful for recipe-scale or small-container comparisons.
  • Packaged counts — use Count when the item is sold as a number of pieces (tablets, rolls, cans) rather than by weight or volume.
  • Storage and memory — use TB, GB, or MB when comparing drives, SSDs, or RAM.

If your search returns a mix of unit systems, selecting several units at once lets the tool sort across them rather than forcing you to run separate searches.

What this means for your shopping scenario

The tool fits you if the products you're comparing are sold by a measurable unit — weight, volume, count, or storage — and the listings are in one of the five supported countries. It's less useful if your comparison hinges on currency conversion between countries, or if the products are priced per item with no consistent unit attached.

You can also switch the display between a grid and a table before calculating, which matters if you're scanning many results at once.
