the first number is the store number that you bought it at, the next five or four are the code that the manufacturers or product labelers type into their machine to get the text of what it says/the price. for example, a labeler might type in 27355 as a code into a machine to get the product to be 3.99 etc. the next numbers sfter that are all numbers used throughout the manufacturing process such for things such as processing and distribution purchases. There is no way to figure out the price of something by using the barcode unless you have the machine that printed out that barcode. hope this helps.
