I think this point is underappreciated. Sometimes it definitely makes sense to pay more per unit/kg for some item for a smaller quantity if otherwise you'd be throwing out an excess
- alkonaut 5y agoAt some point I bought a sampler set of miniature colognes from one of the big makers (CK I think). Probably 5 x 5ml or something. Dirt cheap, and perfect for traveling. Turns out 5ml of cologne is enough for years and years if you use it rarely and sparingly (as you should). The huge 50 or 75ml perfume bottles must be one of the products most often thrown out without finishing. I bet CK thought these sampler sets would create incentive to buy one of their larger bottles, not make customers set for life on cologne.
- celticninja 5y agoNo sure they are thrown out due to the expense, I know I would never throw one out. But I do end up with 3 different ones on rotation because I don't want the same smell all the time. Smaller ones would certainly be better for variety.
- mnahkies 5y agoThey effectively have no expiration date as well, so there is no sense in throwing them out. Personally I'm happy with my one scent though and will just keep using that until it runs out Really what I was getting at with my original comment was more about food, and how it sometimes makes sense to take the higher price with a smaller quantity, iff you don't believe you'll be able to consume the larger quantity before it expires
- grogenaut 5y agothe ones i got as gifts always evaporated before i used them all.
- clairity 5y ago> "...if you use it rarely and sparingly (as you should)" yes please, a hint is ok, but stinking of cologne (especially the really musky stuff) is a big turn-off for many women.
