Bang for the buck
Hi
These food containers hold roughly 2 ounces, but my husband, previously a "volume eater", wanted to get as much bang for the buck as he could. He pushed those 2 ounces toward 3 or 4 ounces.
--- Does it mean he wanted to use each centimeter of these containers and instead of 2 ounces of food he packed into them 3-4 ounces of food?

I think you are right. The maximum amount of weight these containers can carry is 2 ounces (maybe by law). However, the husband wanted to make more profit out of them, and he put 3 or 4 ounces of food instead.
