I can see the Gatorade section clearly now. The first option is a 1-ounce bottle for $1.09, and the second is an 8-pack for $7.42. I need to calculate the unit price for each to determine which is the better buy.

Let me calculate the unit price for the 1-ounce bottle:
$1.09 ÷ 1 = $1.09 per ounce

For the 8-pack, I need to know how many ounces are in each bottle. Since this isn't specified in the image, I'll assume standard Gatorade bottles are 20 ounces each (which is common for single servings). So the 8-pack would be 8 × 20 = 160 ounces total.

Let me calculate the unit price for the 8-pack:
$7.42 ÷ 160 = $0.046375 per ounce (approximately)

The 8-pack has a much lower unit price ($0.046 per ounce vs $1.09 per ounce), so it's the better buy.

Now I'll summarize all the findings:

1. Big Tins (Popcorn): 9-pack for $1.99 is better ($0.221 per tin vs $0.243 per tin)
2. Mix & Cheese: 8-pack for $0.82 is better ($0.1025 per pack vs $1.5167 per ounce)
3. Spell Bites: 7-ounce for $0.79 is better ($0.1129 per ounce vs $0.365 per ounce)
4. Dish Soap: 75-ounce for $8.98 is better ($0.1197 per ounce vs $0.2067 per ounce)
5. Gatorade: 8-pack for $7.42 is better ($0.046 per ounce vs $1.09 per ounce)

Note: For Gatorade, I assumed 20-ounce bottles since the size wasn't specified in the image. If the actual bottle size differs, the calculation would need to be adjusted accordingly.
