Check whether a multipack fits your real use

Before buying several units together, check how the extra quantity will fit your routine and storage, not just the displayed discount.

Before buying several units together, check how the extra quantity will fit your routine and storage, not just the displayed discount.

  1. Look at the amount you already have and how often you actually use the item. Base the estimate on recent use rather than an unusually busy week.
  2. Read the pack contents carefully, including sizes or flavours you would not normally choose. Separate individually usable units from a large container that must be opened all at once.
  3. Identify a suitable storage place and check the product's labelled storage and date information. Consider whether your routine is changing or whether a smaller pack would avoid leftovers you cannot use.

Compare the complete purchase with the quantity you expect to use. If the pack only looks attractive when you assume perfect consumption, choose the amount that better fits ordinary life.
