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!!
They have raised their membership fees Again!
I read recently that something like 69% of their earnings come from membership fees!!!
THe kirkland roll of toilet paper shrunk and the price went up. Same with the kirkland paper towel.
Gram crackers are another one that has reduced the amount of crackers in the box. The crackers are at least 1/3 smaller and the price has increased!
I would really like to know how much it has gone up?
Only guessing without knowing what they used to be here, what size they were
