What is bulk really worth, which is very successful? While supermarkets will soon have to offer 20% of their food in bulk, the section “Behind our labels” looks at the subject.
Bulk products are taking up more and more space in supermarkets. Without packaging or marketing, are they a good deal for your wallet? For customers, this is sometimes a bit difficult to say. “It depends on the quantity. If you don’t want to take a lot, it is better to take it in bulk ”, says a client. “The fact that there is no over-packaging, that automatically convinces me”, specifies another.
If bulk is sometimes more expensive, it is first and foremost a question of labor. The installation is much longer and more laborious than for packaged products. And more expensive bulk products would also be of better quality, according to a store manager. For Dorothée Lachaud, journalist France Télévisions, organic sugar in bulk is a very good deal. On average, it costs 3.38 euros per kilo in bulk compared to 4.36 euros in pre-packaged.
