A larger bag of paprika crisps can work well for your store cupboard if you’ll finish it before its best-before date and can seal it properly once opened. Smaller packs or multipacks may be more convenient for individual snack occasions. Ingredients and allergens vary by product, so check the label of the exact variant.
You want to keep paprika crisps at home and compare packs by price per kilo, rather than looking only at the price of a single bag. When doing so, think about how much you’ll use before the best-before date.
For a film night, drinks with friends or family time, you’re looking for enough to go round. A large bag, a twin pack and individual bags suit different ways of sharing.
You pay attention to ingredients, allergens, nutritional information or portion size. For this, the information on the exact flavour and pack you’re buying matters.
Start by choosing a pack that suits how much you eat and how you plan to share the crisps. Then compare the price per kilo and check the label of your chosen variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Stocking up and price per kilo | Compare the price per kilo and net weight; only buy more if it suits how much you’ll use. | If I keep paprika crisps in stock, I want to know what a pack costs per kilo and whether I’ll use it in time. For around 42% of consumers, this is the most important factor when stocking up. |
| Portions and sharing | Check the number of bags, the weight of each bag and the stated portion size. | When I’m out and about or planning several individual snack occasions, I don’t want to open a large bag each time. This convenience comes first for around 25% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the allergen information and compare the nutritional values per 100 g and per intended portion. | If ingredients or allergens are important to me, I want to be able to assess the exact variety. Around 33% of consumers give checking the label the highest priority. |
