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
That is my main for continuing to support them.
Thanks, Although, I still compare prices I also compare “due date” and quality like Kirtland “extra virgin oil” which is still the best, also “nuts, Coffee, and dishwasher and clothing soups. Also check non-food items
being sold in Product or convenient “Markets.” Socks, T-shirts, Kitchen iems and Pet foods, are great buys.
I feel the quality of the product also not what it was
I shop at both Costco and Sam’s Club. I find that Costco may be higher a bit in price but the quality is that much better. Produce from Costco lasts longer than Sam’s Club. I purchase lemons (about 4-6 bags a month) and I consistently get more juice from the Costco lemons than the Sam’s Club lemons. Also, Costco has a great variety of organic produce and better tasting rotisserie chickens. My husband likes Sam’s For their fresh squeezed orange juice. As comparison, we like Costco the best. We are new to Aldies so will check them out more in the future.
We are Costco members since 1992 and buy lots of their stuff monthly. We do use Sam Club as well on the appropriate items. Although they don’t handle perishable items as well as Costco. Although neither of them handle their beer properly with temperature control and freshness being an issue.
