Why are these priced so high? The Atkins retail for 4 shakes is 8.89. Times 3 to get 12 = 26.67. When buying in higher volume should be lower

i just bought 3 x 4 pk at walmart this morning - 5.78 x 3 = 17.34 so why is a 12 pk priced at $30??

I agree. The Chocolate Day Break shakes are available from Amazon for about $1.25 per shake and these are almost $3 each! It makes no sense to me and I certainly won't be buying Milk Chocolate Delights at this price.

The price is constantly changing. Sometimes these go as low as $15 which makes them cheaper than even when they are on sale in the stores. I go to camelcamelcamel and get a notification of when this hits the price I want to pay.

That seems a bit expensive to me if I am reading this corectly. I bought mine for less than $50.00 for 12.8 grams. Whole Foods has a better deal than $165.99.

When I am not sure of the amount I will get if its a good deal I will order them. Because of the average cost is usually 2 for $5 in a store. So it would still be a better deal then in a store. Also most of the time there is usually only 2 per pack. I don't know if there is one that comes with a three pack but there maybe. If it was me I most likely would order it if you give them at least twice a week.

I used half a scoop as my shakes were only around 8 oz I prefer shakes that are on the thinner side, 2 of the large scoops in my opinion is too much.

The same has happened to me the last two attempts I have made to purchase the 2 pound packages. I feel that it indicates poor business practices that will alienate customers. One bonus was that I found a very similar blend at the local Fred Meyer (Kroger) store albeit slightly more expensive.

And for some reason, they've TRIPLED THE PRICE. It was $20 for 6 boxes in 11/13, and now is ALMOST $60. I can buy it at the local grocery store for $4 a box (same size), so 6 boxes would be $24. I won't buy it through Amazon again.

Because Amazon doesn't do the math (not that they have to). They are provided a product from a seller for a certain price, and adjust their mark-ups accordingly I am sure. If the seller makes a base price with a package deal that is more expensive than buying the same amount individually, then that is their prerogative. Dumb, but at the same time they are likely to catch many un-savvy buyers in this product package making their packaging deal worth it to them. While it is unfortunate, it is the responsibility of the buyer to look at the different products and choose the best option for themselves. Hope this helps!

I think around 65 or so. Not really a good deal to be honest. Fusion 7 is 4 lbs for $37.00 at 120 servings.

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

Hello, I just ordered 2 of the Ensure Complete Nutrition Shakes, 4 Count (Pack of 4). So, for two (2 - 4x4 packs) the weight on the box says: 22.20 pounds. I would like to add that I just ordered them on May 6th and received them on May 7th from "PRIME MEDICAL STORE". They are a AWESOME company ~ immediate shipment and free shipping as well! Their prices are still far less than any of the local stores. I order from them all the time and the expiration dates are always at least a year to a year and a half out. I hope this helps.

I noticed that in my last 3 batches mine were more of a powder :( its way to expensive for that to happen. I love the cereal but think thats not good. I will try to find this cereal elsewhere if i have to

I was curious if it were a multi-pack too, I can get this for about $4 a jar at the grocery store; I have no idea why it's priced this way.

Hi Paul. The reason is because we sell direct to consumers. Without all the middlemen, we can afford to get great grass-fed whey protein to you at a great price.

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...

The first problem with Callebaut Baking Cocoa Powder 2.2lb. bagJis that it is not sold directly from Amazon - it is through an independent seller. When you add on the $9.00 shipping charge, the price per pound rises to $19.00. This is now too high a price to consider purchasing. AMAZON - Are you listening??? Sell this product direct and increase your sales volume - more customers will make this purchase when the shipping charge is gone (a savings of 31%).

That frustrates me too. Why mess up a otherwise great product? Practically everything is using this crap now. I think I will try the Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz next. But the shipping is killing my pockets. I wish I could get it locally.

It's all about supply and demand, the higher the demand, the higher the price. Also, Ensure just transitioned to their new formula, so the older formula is selling for a higher price, since it's slightly different. You should always shop around before making a purchase.
