Depends what quality setting you select for JPG - at best quality (12) mine are around 6MB in size. Best format to save as is dependent on what is going to be done with the image. Best quality (12) JPG is probably the most common but it all depends on what the image is to be used for as to what format it should be saved as....................

'Normal' depends on what settings you use to create the jpg file.. For example, did you set an output height and width or use the original RAW dimensions straight from the camera. And what jpg compression did you use? And how many dpi/ppi? All those will affect final file size.
As to what's the best format to give to customers, it surely depends on what you expect them to do with the file. As one example, when I license an image for website use its saved at 72dpi and - usually 800x600 pixels (roughly). So that file size will be small, but will work perfectly for the customer's website. So I guess what I'm saying is there's no 'one size fits all' answer.

I'm assuming in there is a way to set the JPEG quality. It sounds to me like you are either resizing or over compressing the files.
Customer? I don't wish to appear rude, but are you really in a position to be offering your services professionally if you can't even work out how to provide your customers with a decent file on a disc?

In PSP select "Save As" from the file menu.
A box will open from which you can select the file type (jpg, tiff & about 34 other type options)
Select "JPG" and click the "Options" button.
Under Options select "Standard Encoding"
(Tick the "Save EXIF information" if you want to keep the EXIF info attached to the image file.)
You have a "Compression" slider which goes from 1 to 99, with 1 being the lowest compression/ best quality/ largest file size
and 99 being the maximum compression/lowest quality/smallest file size.
For a good quality jpg I usually select compression around 8-10.
Alternatively, from the same dialog box, you can click the "Run Optimiser" button and follow the steps from there.
Then save your file as normal.
