A case discount has practical value only if the quantity fits the household's use, storage conditions and product dates. Calculate the saving before accepting a much larger order.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Saving | Compare identical units at current prices. |
| Space | Measure the actual storage area. |
| Use | Follow package storage and date instructions. |

Compare identical units at current prices.
Measure the actual storage area.
Follow package storage and date instructions.
A practical example
Buying twenty-four cans instead of twelve may save per can while doubling the space required immediately.
Before you decide
A lower unit price does not eliminate storage or waste constraints.
