The Odds & Ends products are simplistic, affordable, waste-reducing, and free of market volatility. Misfits Market sources many of its products directly from the farmer that produces them. By doing this, the company can pay a fair price that is separate from the volatile food market. Misfits Market stated that its customers save "an average of $25 per order" when ordering from its private label, when compared to leading brands. On top of being more ethical and affordable than the norm, the Odds & Ends food line is packaged in sustainable, [waste-reducing packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-candy). This means the brand is simultaneously reducing food waste and single-use plastics waste while passing savings on to customers.
