    Even Newman’s Own (a non-profit) is $4. $6-$10 is normal in my area, and it’s one of the least affluent areas of the country.

      Like, where I am, the cheap classico sauce is about 3 bucks. And i dont doubt that the tomatoes they use come from Cali. Im across the continent, in a different country. I know some “ritzy” sauces here are encroaching on the 10$ mark. Its so fucked up

    Raos is good. Pretty consistently top rated. I basically thought all jarred pasta sauces were garbage before I tried it.

    …it does always hurt a little when I splurge on a jar though. Also, Costco sells two packs of the 32oz jars for just a bit more than this and it goes on sale frequently.

    Most expensive one I could find with a simple google search in Germany is € 12.54 per kg,
    the ones pictured above are 680g, so for $ 7.49 that’s $ 11.01 or € 9.55 per kg (at current exchange rate)

    Average price for pasta sauce in Germany seems to be around € 4.50 / kg, but then the Rao’s might be among the pricier sauces in the US?

      It is. It’s a high-quality sauce made by a very famous restaurant in New York City. It’s one of those few products that immediately stands out when someone tries a blind taste test on you.

  I’m gonna say the customers did this. It looks like the bargain DVD bin at Wal-Mart.

    You think a customer went into a Kroger, printed a price sign, took the time to move like 6 cases of sauce haphazardly into a unsafe pile and nobody said anything? Possible but unlikely.

    Cause I’m digging for the interesting stuff in the sauce bin.

  Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)

  Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously “It can’t be that expensive if they treat it this poorly.”

  I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.

  fuck kroger i dont blame them

    I grew up shopping at Kroger and continued to shop there for a years after I moved out on my own. Cant say enough how much i fucking hate Kroger. Our local one decided to put in those stupid security gates at the door, forcing you to walk the ENTIRE LENGTH of the store and through the registers to get out. It was the last straw in a mounting hay pile of shitty changes that pushed me to start going to Meijers despite kroger being much closer. Cant state enough how much i fricken love Meijers compared to Kroger, Giante Eagle, Etc around here.

      My wife (who has DOCUMENTED NUT ALLERGIES and told them about it) was put into the bakery and expected to pull all the frozen stuff to thaw before being baked.

      Anyone see an issue with putting a worker with a nut allergy in the bakery? Because they sure as fuck didn’t. They were also very surprised when she no call/no showed to quit after they kept ignoring her complaints and expected her to do the work of 3 people and to train register people when she needed help to get shit done.

  As someone who did 10 years in retail, this is the normal state of any display after being open to the general public for 20 minutes.

  Really hoping the intent is that you use the taco noodles with the vodka sauce.

  • KoboldCoterie@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Here I started typing up a comment asking what the fuck ‘Taco noodles’ were, then I looked more closely. What the fuck, I’ve never seen taco-flavored ramen before.

  If I remember someone from a few months ago, displays like this tend to sell better than well organized ones. I can’t give any evidence other than remembering that statement though, so take it with a grain of salt.
