Thanks for your reply. Does the recycled box of foil cost less per square foot?
Delete4-5, I would buy the bottom one because if is cheaper. Also, if you do the math, the top one is $1 more, which means every 25 ft should be a dollar, but the bottom should be 75 and the top should be 100. I would also go with the bottom because the materials are better.

We do need to take care of our earth.
DeleteI would pick the bottom one because can be recycled and it is less expensive and that it says 100% recycled aluminum.
ReplyDeleteI like that it is recylcled, too. But is it actually less expensive. Look at how much you get in each box.

The 75 ft. because it will cost $.0532 per sq ft. The 50 ft. costs $.0958 per sq ft.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, the 75 ft. box does cost less per square feet.
