Trader Joe's went up in price also. I remember a couple of years ago when it was 1.99. Now it was over 3.oo the last time I was there. I don't remember the exact price.

I did the math. It’s like 1/3 the size so I’m not sure it’s really cheaper.
Am I thinking about it wrong?

Those same chocolate chips are now 8.49.

I used to pay $2.99.
Trader Joe’s as inflated their prices and caught up with the Jewish supermarkets 😢

Their yogurt isn't that great nutritionally either, may as well switch to a different breakfast/snack

ot, but then don't give them yogurt. There isn't anything nutritious about yogurt mixed with chocolate chips. Maybe plain unsweetened, but I doubt that's what you meant.
