Peanut Butter Pretzels Keep Edging Up
Kirkland peanut butter pretzels increased about 4%, moving from $12.99 to $13.49 for a large 1.56-kilogram container. On paper, that sounds minor — but over a year of repeat purchases, it adds up.
This is a classic example of “quiet inflation”, where prices rise slowly enough to avoid backlash but still impact annual grocery spending.
Consider:
- Rotating snacks to avoid habitual buying
- Checking Sam’s Club for competitive pricing
- Buying smaller quantities to reduce overconsumption and waste
CostCo has priced themselves right out of my pocketbook!!
