If you ask Mrs. Google how many ounces there are in 24. fluid oz of honey you will see that it works out. |

Most are priced by volume so a pint is still a pint. Taking two of the items on your list, maple syrup comes in quart containers but honey is 1 pound in a bottle. I never had the need to compare maple syrup to honey though. |
