Buying full cases: retail packs, case counts and unit pricesFind your favourite.
A full case can be useful when you need many of the same retail pack. Start with the number you will use, then compare the case with any smaller quantity options rather than assuming a case is always the best fit.
Count the unopened bars, bags or rolls you want to allocate. Keep retail packs separate from pieces inside them: a Duo is one retail pack, even when it contains two inner pieces.
The examples below have different case counts: 24 Mars Duo packs, 60 Milky Way single bars and 30 Transform-A-Snack bags. Their products and weights differ, so the largest case count does not automatically suit your plan.
Compare surplus before buying
If a chosen product comes in cases of 24 and you need 25 retail packs, two cases supply 48 and leave 23 extra. Where that exact product also has a one-pack selector, a case plus one pack may fit the count more closely.
The selected Mars Duo offers illustrate a case and a separate smaller quantity listing. Compare their current prices and available options; this is not a promise that every case can be split.
Check the complete order cost and practical fit
Use the full selected quantity and include delivery in the order comparison. A case label does not itself guarantee a discount.
Consider when you will use the surplus and the storage and best-before information on the actual products. The best format is the one that fits your quantity and practical needs.
