Really good stuff, but not much of a deal. Woot seems to be stretching that profit margin a bit more these days.
As a reference, typically when you buy a bigger package of these(like many other products out there) you will get a better price per individual unit. The less you buy at once the more you pay per unit.
Okay. So, at CVS for instance, you can buy these things individually or two at a time(if you don’t want to get a whole bag). CVS sells 2 for 99 cents. So, we’ll call that 50 cents each. There are about 15 of these in each bag, 3 bags makes 45. 45 divided by two is 22.50. So, if my math is correct if you were to buy these two at a time at CVS you would get them cheaper, and that isn’t even including the possibility that the buyer might take the CVS price down further with some extra bucks or one of those15-20% off coupons CVS is constantly handing out.
So, these things do taste amazing, and this is one of the better flavors, but the price… damn Woot. I’m not so well versed in the law but overcharging like that seems like it must be illegal in some way. Anyway, great product, not a great deal. 'Better off getting 'em the next time you find yourself in CVS.
Sorry Woot. Is what it is though.
Boy are you right! I poked around and while you may not find this exact size for a better price there are lots of options at Target, CVS and walgreens that are FAR cheaper per piece. And I know SOME woot defender will say “but woot includes shipping!” True, but Amazon also has these for cheaper. A 19 oz bag costs under $19. So unless you MUST have this particular size bag, look elsewhere.
