Bob's Red Mill Sweet White Rice = divine. However. I just discovered that the non-clearance

price is about $14.25 per 1-lb, 11-oz bag! I got five bags at Big Lots for $3.50 per bag, and while it is incredibly good, it isn't $14.25 good.

Bummer.

What other food products are ridiculously overpriced?

1. where did you find the regular price?

On the Bob's Red Mill web site?

[Flaxbee]

2. googled it, but also checked Amazon

seems high, though I haven't seen it in any stores recently (except for Big Lots)

3. on the bobs red mill web site, four bags are $14.25

A total of 7.25 pounds.

BRM is a wonderful company -- Bob gave it to the employees last year. Employee owned.

9. that's not bad! I know it's a good company .. will check it out

The products are just so good I'd be willing to pay that for 4 bags. Thanks very much for the link.

4. I really need to get to Big Lots....

Wasn't it you that told me they also have the 8-Grain cereal on sale? How I love that stuff!

7. Our motherload of Bob's goodies might have been the result of a

local health food store closing (though I don't know that for sure). Not sure if it's a store-wide offering or just local. I do know they haven't restocked, so I cleaned them out of the white rice and muesli and steel cut oats :) But get thee to a Big Lots to see if they have it! :hi:

5. I have a Big Lots practically around the corner. I'll have to check it out.

I know their prices are fantastic. I have been buying Nutella for $3.

8. not sure if this is a local bonanza due to a health food store closing in town

or if it's store-wide, but might be worth checking. :)

6. I'd NEVER pay that much for rice... RICE... unless it had been consumed & shat by a civet cat first.
