Cool app, but for $5 I can use the calculator and compare for myself.
My annoyance at the grocery store is that often when trying to compare items, the price tags don't show the same unit of measure for cost per unit. For example, one tag will have the per piece price and the competing brand next to it will have the per ounce price listed. They are almost helpful... but not really.

Comparing nutrition features is quite nice ... but I prefer CompareMe which was released some weeks ago. There are a lot of units to compare - and the drag-n-drop gestures are great to convert prices.

As someone already mentioned, CompareMe does a very good job also and is only $2.99. There is also the app "Compare and Convert" which while not being as pretty as these apps allows you to compare more than two things at one time, you can compare as many things with different units as you want. It's 99 cents right now. Of course the calculator that the iPhone comes with works pretty well as well along with some of the unit converters like 99 cent app iConvert.
