Good for the environment and wallet: Large pack, small price? Three savings tips for shopping
A large pack: that suggests more content - and seems practical. But is that really always the case? What matters when shopping if you want to save money and packaging waste.
Consumer protection organizations are advising people to be mindful when buying large packs of goods in an effort to save money and reduce waste. When purchasing, it's essential to compare prices and performance, checking the number of uses or weight to ensure you're getting a good deal. Additionally, consider the quality and shelf life of the product to avoid buying more than you need, especially for perishable items.
The "Zu gut für die Tonne" initiative and Verbraucherzentralen also suggest shopping at fresh food counters, markets, or unpackaged stores, and using tools like portion planners to help reduce food waste.
