A multipack is worth considering if you’re splitting the almonds across several viewing occasions; the number of packs alone doesn’t prove you’re getting better value per kilogram. To check, compare the total net weight and price of the same variety. A resealable bag can be handy for leftovers, while a smaller pack may suit you if you only need a limited amount.
You want enough almonds for Orange Night, but don’t automatically assume a multipack is better value. Compare the weight and price per kilogram of the same variety. For example, Albert Heijn lists a multipack of four unsalted packs, but you’ll need to check the weight of each pack.
You won’t serve everything at once and want a pack you can seal again afterwards. ALDI describes both roasted unsalted almonds and unroasted almonds in resealable packaging.
You want to serve an unsalted variety during the match, so check the specific product rather than just the flavour or brand name. The Voedingscentrum recommends unsalted nuts, but this tells you nothing about allergens.
First decide how much you want to serve and store. Then compare the packaging and the exact variety that suits your match night.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Value per kilogram | Compare the total net weight and price of the same variety. For a multipack, include the weight of every pack. | If you’re shopping for several viewing occasions, you’ll want to know whether the extra packs really offer any savings. Around 36% of consumers say price per kilogram is their top purchasing priority. |
| Quantity and storage | Choose a pack size that suits what you’ll serve, check whether the bag is resealable and read the storage advice. | If you won’t serve everything during the match, it’s handy to be able to seal the rest properly. Around 29% of consumers prioritise quantity and storage. |
| Unsalted varieties and allergens | Check the exact variety and read the ingredients and allergen information separately. | If you want to serve unsalted almonds, check the product variety; unsalted doesn’t mean allergen-free. Around 21% of consumers give choosing unsalted products top priority. |
| Preparation and flavour | Check whether the almonds are unroasted, roasted or savoury. Flavour descriptions aren’t necessarily based on independent testing. | If you’re choosing almonds mainly as a savoury snack, you’ll want the preparation method to suit your taste. Around 14% of consumers prioritise this preference. |
The number of packs doesn’t tell you whether the price per kilogram is lower. The product name AH Unsalted Almonds multipack of four confirms there are four packs, but it doesn’t state the total weight or prove there’s a saving.
Check the total net weight and price, and compare the same variety of almonds.
The Lidl product page links the advertised offer to Lidl Plus and logging in. The terms and validity period are relevant to your comparison.
Check whether you meet the terms and whether the offer is valid when you’re shopping.
Pack sizes and resealability vary. Buying a larger quantity only helps if you can store and use the rest properly.
Decide in advance how much you want to serve, seal the rest properly and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
The preparation method and salt content don’t mean a product is free from almond allergens. Stichting Voedselallergie states that the allergen remains stable when heated.
Read the ingredients and allergen information separately from the flavour and preparation descriptions. Almonds are not a safe substitute for someone with an almond allergy.

Compare the total price with the total net weight, then convert the weight into kilograms. First check the weight of each pack and compare the same variety; four packs alone don’t prove a lower price per kilogram.
Seal the packaging or a suitable container securely and follow the storage advice on the pack. For the nut category reviewed, the Voedingscentrum recommends a cool, dark and dry place. Storage times for mixed salted nuts don’t necessarily apply to every variety of almond.
No. Unroasted and unsalted describe different product characteristics. ALDI also describes a roasted unsalted variety, so check the exact product and don’t rely on the preparation method alone.
No. Roasting doesn’t make almonds a safe alternative for someone with an almond allergy. Stichting Voedselallergie states that the allergen remains stable when heated; check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
The NVWA requires any allergens present to be clearly and correctly stated. The NVWA also says that new rules for warnings about the unintended presence of allergens apply from 1 January 2026. Check the ingredients and any warnings on the specific pack.
