This is not a recipe :)
It's more of a 'be a smart shopper' story.
I went to buy pumpkin spice, and I found the tiny jar (on the right) at WalMart for about $4. It is REALLY tiny for $4, but I figured I was at WalMart, so it probably doesn't go for less than this. I bought it and was really annoyed.
A few days later, I was walking by the spice aisle at Trader Joe's, and I found a jar double the size (on the left)! To my utter surprise, the price was...guess how much...

$1.99!
Yup, DOUBLE the size, and HALF the price. Check my math, but I think that means the WalMart jar costs 4 times as much as the Trader Joe's one! Trader Joes...WalMart...which has better quality stuff...hmmm...
Moral of the story? Be a smart shopper. WalMart is not always the cheapest, and Trader Joe's is definitely NOT overpriced!
plus trader joes has alcohol free vanilla extract! :)
ReplyDeleteOh really? That is so cool! Yet another reason why I love that place...it's not that big but everyone buys such different things!
ReplyDelete1. Trader Joes always rules
ReplyDelete2. Walmart sucks!! www.walmartwatch.com
.. love your blog btw! :)
that is awesome. Thanks alot
ReplyDeleteTrader Joe's has very reasonable prices and no gimmicks(sale/coupon) and best of all quality.
ReplyDeleteBeing a compact size store with a wide variety of only quality goods it even saves me time running from one aisle to another.
It's only the produce that priced higher.
The mascarpone cheese costs only $2.99. In Ralphs $5.29 Albertsons $3.99.
The only downfall is I hve to drive far so best thin is to stock up on regulars.
