I just pulled up the [Department Store] app I have on my phone and looked at the individual prices, it says $0.82 each

I'm gonna be honest, I could not possibly tell you how much a potato weighs, so I have no idea how many potatoes come in the $3.27 5 lbs bag

A standard russet potato is 148g(according to the nutritional information on a sack o' potatoes) , 5 lbs=2270g. 2270รท148=15.3. $3.27รท15.3 potatoes is 21 cents per tater.

I think I estimated about three for a dollar so that more or less tracks. Who's paying a dollar each?

That's if you buy individually wrapped, gotta buy them by the bag.

This, priced at $0.375 per potato, puts a potato at 213 grams
