Sachet Economy

Description

"By “sachet economy” I mean the largely informal sector where customers purchase small amounts of fast-moving consumer goods at a premium instead of buying large amounts at a discount. In the “sachet economy”, the reason for paying a premium is simply a matter of cash-flow. Why buy a 30-day supply of shampoo if you’re not sure you’ll have money for food tomorrow?"
