So the Wal-Mart brand is heavier and costs 48-cents more.

But what are you paying per ounce for that cheese?

Wal-Mart:
$3.98/28.2oz = $0.141/oz

Family Dollar
$3.50/20.66oz = $0.169/oz

Overall, you're paying less per ounce for the Wal-Mart brand. (Not sure if the quality is worth the savings or not. There's some things that aren't a bargain; bad cheese is one of them, closely followed by bad beer and bad wine! )
