How to check a Rossmann pack
- Read the net quantity (weight, volume, sheets or count) on the label, not the size of the box.
- Use the unit price on the shelf tag to compare the store brand with the name brand next to it. Own labels are often cheaper per unit, but a shrink can close the gap.
- Compare against an old receipt or photo if you buy the same Rossmann item every week.
- Report it: submit a sighting with the old and new size.
