It's a hard problem. Some stores have half-size paper towels, which I prefer, as paper towels are unnecessary large most of the time. So I want to price-compare based on number of sheets, not cm² ;)

I have the same issue with rice, they always put the price per kg, never per grain..

weight is better for rice since individual grains will vary with size and width.

I only want that until someone figures it out and starts making 1/100 size sheets, or some other cheat.

I just rip off the size of paper towel I need every time I use them.

They're not half-size, though, they're actually a bit _more_ than 50%. So that means you'll go through them faster than if you purchase full-sized ones and get in the habit of tearing a full sheet in half and setting the unneeded half aside.
