Common shopping mistakes
-
Assuming you’ll need a multipack
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a single 270 g tub. Buying for a group doesn’t automatically mean there’s a multipack available for this product.
Work out what you’ll need for the Christmas party and any plans to use it afterwards. If you’re considering a different pack size, check the product page.
-
Confusing the label serving with a party serving
The 6 g serving and 45 servings listed by Albert Heijn are label information. You may use a different amount for a cake, cupcakes or bread toppings.
Use the quantities in your recipe or serving plan to work out how many tubs to buy.
-
Checking allergens only after you’ve bought it
The product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and gluten-containing cereals for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. This may affect whether the product is suitable for a guest, whatever size you need.
Check the packaging label before buying, and choose a suitable alternative if these ingredients need to be avoided.
-
Buying extra tubs without planning how you’ll use them
The product information says to store the tub in a dry place and that the best-before date is on the top. If you buy several tubs, these instructions apply to each one.
Check the date on each tub, and only buy extra packs if you know how you’ll use them and can store them somewhere dry.
