WTH: Triscuits, $6.00/lb...?
|
|
What the hell.. I was grocery-shopping the other day, and I am pretty sure I saw a box of Triscuits sell for 6 bucks a lb...! Needless to say Ii pass on it, even though I like them!...
What's up with that?
Nabisco must crank 5 tons of them per hour or so, from renewable raw ingredients for heck's sake...
Six bucks. I can get a nice set of guitar strings for that money...!

My guess is fuel costs. If we sustain this sub-$2/gal pricing for a few months, we may see prices drop again. I know, personally, I wouldn't (and don't) spend that much on snack food.

I bought some nice bone-in strip steaks from the grocery store last week on sale for about $6.00 a pound. Triscuits, or steak..... not a tough choice.

Good actual data point, there!
When home, look up the box weight, so that we can compute the actual price by the pound...

That price seems a bit high for Triscuits, but I guess it all depends on where you buy them as well. Small market vs. Walmart Superstore might affect the price quite a bit.

BierMuncher's probably driving the price up by hoarding them...

13oz box.
Keep in mind, these were on sale, but I don't think they were 3.50 off the regular price!
