The largest I've seen is the 30ounce container at walmart and it's like $7 something.

I live in Los Angeles and this company is just a few miles from me. I called to see if I could buy it and pick it up to avoid the shipping cost and they told me they sell it at their store for ~$80. They could not lower the price. They said Amazon chooses to reduce the cost of the item from the $80 to the $35 so they can charge the rest in shipping and make it look like it is cheaper. They said if I wanted to buy this item in store I would have to pay the full price. I am not sure if this is Amazon or the seller Best Choice Products but either way I feel this is deceptive and makes me not want to even bother.

$5 is a good price. You can get this price also directly from Ball.com. It won't be found cheaper in a grocery store.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

Don't know why the price is this much on here. However I know during winter it is rare to find. So maybe that's why. Also maybe people try to make $ off of people who dont know better? Also of today I have seen them in the store. They are even cheaper than before. $10.95 for the venti !!

If there is a Cost Plus World Market in your area, you can buy them for $6.99. I have no idea why the prices are so high here.

For me in Australia, it was triple the price of the groceru store, bit disappointed actually. Check your local store first!

Easy, they're out of stock so one idiot had to charge an outrageous price for them. You should see them in the $5-10 range.

It is different prices. If you can get it at that price it is a good buy. Some dealers are getting $120 per bottle.

Currently the price on amazon in $12.65, but I think the answer to your question is that when you purchase a product at TJ's, you spend your own money on gas to go to and from their store. Shipping costs have gone up everywhere for everything due to rising costs in transportation/fuel. My nearest Trader Joe's is almost an hour's drive away in another state. If I were to add in my gas and time spent to drive there and back just to get this one product, amazon's price does not seem so bad. I have a "Prime" account, so I'm not charged for additional shipping, but 'Deals by TNT" (the current vendor) and amazon both have to cover their transportation costs.

I know what you mean, when I bought mine they were 12.00!!! And now they are costing over 50?!?! I should have bought a few a couple years ago - I won't pay what they are asking for now. I found some iluvs for about 6 bucks that sound just as good...

It depends....try looking at it like this. Is $20 more than $18? Hmmm. Think maybe you can answer your own question now, don't you??

The nearest Costco is 150 miles away. I don't like carrying a lot of stuff out of the store and into my house. I like having stuff delivered. Gas is expensive. If I do go to Sam's, I buy a lot of stuff I don't need, just because it's a good buy, sort of. Last, but not least, it's none of your business why I buy what I buy where I buy it.

I agree with Roger, this stuff was never cheap, I'm paying now about what I paid by-the-can when it was sold locally in stores (though I could negotiate with some store managers and buy 12-pack cases for $16, that was nice. I should have stocked up), and it can't be that cheap to ship these. It would be really great if there weren't regular delays due to being out of stock, though, but that just gives me hope that it's popular enough to not disappear forever. A subscription plan like Amazon has with a lot of grocery items (where you save 15% for monthly deliveries) would be excellent, we could save about $4 a case and not have to remember to come back to re-order as often!

Yes indeed. I haven't found them at retail in New York City for less than $3 each, and they are hard to find around here. I did find them in a grocery store in Los Angeles for $2.49 each. Even though I usually shop on Amazon for cheaper prices than I find in stores, for me, having these heavy things shipped to my door (I don't have a car) is worth the extra 33 cents apiece for something I can hardly find anywhere. I get free shipping with Amazon Prime, so I don't know what shipping would be otherwise.
