Sticker Shock At Supermarket [View all]

I am a fan of Old Trapper Hot & Spicy.
I've been buying at the same store for years.
For the past year, it's been $11.99 for the 10 ounce bag.
Today, it was $20.95! A 74.7% increase since last week.
Hard pass.
No tariffs involved, as it's made in Oregon.
I found this astounding.
