Regular stock-up shoppers
You use almonds regularly and choose a quantity to suit your consumption, storage space and grocery order.
Who is a bulk pack suitable for?
Health-conscious everyday eaters
You’re looking for almonds to eat regularly and want to distinguish unsalted products from roasted or savoury seasoned varieties.
Occasional eaters
You eat almonds now and then and don’t want to open more than you’ll use. Pack size and storage advice may help you decide.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start with the amount you’re likely to use and can store. Then compare the cost of the same variety and check whether delivery is part of an existing grocery order.
| What to consider | What to look for when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Real savings | Compare products with the same preparation and ingredients by price per kilogram. If you’re buying several bags, add up the net weight and include any extra ordering costs. | If I want to stock up without paying extra delivery costs or leaving some unused, I look at the total weight and order cost. Around 33% of consumers put real savings first. |
| Ingredients | Check whether the variety is unsalted and read the ingredients list. Choose raw or roasted almonds according to your preference. | If I want to eat almonds regularly, I want to know whether they’re unsalted and how they’ve been prepared. Around 27% of consumers give ingredients the highest priority. |
| Storing your supply | Choose an amount to suit your usage, follow the label instructions and don’t open all the individual packs at once. | If I don’t get through almonds quickly, I want to be able to store unopened bags and keep the contents in good condition once opened. Around 20% of consumers prioritise keeping their supply fresh. |
| Adding to a delivery | Check whether the supermarket delivers groceries to your address, and review the costs and terms for your chosen delivery slot. | If I have my groceries delivered, I want to add almonds to that order rather than make a separate trip. Around 20% of consumers give the option to add items to a delivery the highest priority. |
Things to consider when buying
-
Judging a value pack without factoring in delivery costs
The cost of your chosen delivery slot can affect the overall value, especially if you place a separate order for the almonds.
First compare the price per kilogram, then check which ordering costs are actually incurred because of this purchase.
-
Confusing oven-roasted without oil with unsalted
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as savoury and made without added oil or fat. That doesn’t automatically make it the same as the separate Unsalted range.
If unsalted almonds are important to you, check the exact product variety and ingredients list.
-
Assuming a product page means delivery is available
Lidl says it doesn’t sell groceries through its website or app and doesn’t offer a grocery delivery service. So a product listing doesn’t automatically mean you can order it online as part of a grocery delivery.
Check that the retailer offers an actual ordering and delivery service for your address.
-
Buying more than you’ll use
Almonds can lose quality after opening. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a tough texture and mould as signs of spoilage.
Choose an amount that suits your usage and keep any extra packs sealed until you need them.

Frequently asked questions
How do you compare one large bag with several smaller ones?
First add up the net weight of the smaller bags and compare the same variety by price per kilogram. Then check separately whether this purchase adds any delivery costs. A lower price per bag isn’t the same as a lower price per kilogram.
How should you store opened unsalted almonds?
Follow the product label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general advice is to store them for six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer; their quality may deteriorate after that. Rancidity, a tough texture or mould are signs of spoilage.
Which of these supermarket chains deliver groceries?
Albert Heijn, PLUS and Jumbo describe online grocery delivery. Lidl says it doesn’t sell groceries through its website or app and doesn’t offer a grocery delivery service. For the other supermarkets, check the current options for your address and order.
What should you check if you have a food allergy?
Check the current ingredients and allergen warnings on the specific pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label; a brand name or the word ‘unsalted’ is no substitute for checking.
Does ‘roasted without added oil’ mean the almonds are unsalted?
No. That description alone doesn’t mean a product is unsalted. Duyvis describes Almonds Original as savoury and made without added oil or fat. If salt matters to your choice, check the exact variety and ingredients list.
