I am setting up a store for food products. What I need to do is show a product and other products in the same range so a buyer can select a mixed case of goods.

Example: Yogurts. They land on a product page for plain yoghurt, but also want to add strawberry, vanilla and blueberry.
Is there a way that they can see the options and just select which ones they want and then add to cart?

I had mistaken the 'options' pulldown as the way to solve this but obviously this adds the cost of the item plus the cost of the option. So ideally I want something similar whereby the user can select a range of items in the same range

any advice welcome :=)

You were correct, Product Options is the best solution.

Product option values have a price, which would be better called, 'price adjustment', and prefix determines whether it should be added or subtracted to the related product price.

By setting the option value prices to 0, you will simply have a dropdown of options that apply the actual (unadjusted) product price.

Qphoria offers a Discount by Category mod that will allow you to do all sorts of mix or match pricing by category or sub-category. I use it with mp4s, so they can mix colors and memory sizes and still get the same quantity discounts as if they buying just one item in quantity.

Mine are set by percent, but if all items are the same price, you can also do by price.
