The status of the package is set to invalid when a time interval in which the package is available has expired. The method and apparatus further include package offer redemption by identifying a package including the products identified, determining a package price for the products included in the package, processing a sale of the products included in the package, adjusting sales performance data based on the sale of the products, and setting a status of the package to invalid when the sales performance data for the products included in the package fail to meet limits.
