Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

Divide the cost per unit. In your example 200/$10=$0.10 per item or ten cents, but the alternative is 750/$60=$0.08 or eight cents per item.
You need to also consider things like storage costs, how much it costs you to maintain, and whether it’stoo much for you (which lemmy can’t help you with)
