Where this price comes from

This is the default price the CrumbCounts catalog uses for walnuts: a typical US supermarket shelf price for a standard package, converted to a price per ounce. It is an estimate, not a measured average. Brand, store, region and package size all change what you pay, so your own receipts are the most accurate source. Conversions between cups and weight use standard baking densities.
