So if my math is correct (and it frequently isn't) it is still less expensive to
simply scoop 100 loose 2x4's into a cup for $12.95 than it is to pay by weight
for the same 100 2x4's. And the same volume presumably only gets heavier when
filled with smaller parts. So under this pricing scheme, buying by volume is
always a better deal than by weight, even if you don't take the extra time to
pack the cups.
Interesting...
