Why are they $20 dollars a lb?

Have you ever made jerky? A typical jerky loses half of its starting weight in moisture, so 2:1 is the proper ratio. "Low moisture" jerky can actually be 1/3 the starting weight, a 3:1 ratio. So 2-3 pounds of beef will make 1 pound of jerky. So, you are actually asking why 2-3 lbs for $20.00? Try making it yourself, I have. It's also made here in the US so the ingredients are the actual ingredients. No guess work on mystery ingredients or if fresh or spoiled. Good quality and made in the USA. Reminds me of those that bargain shop for motorcycle helmets. What value do you place on your head or in this case your dogs health? Have you ever made jerky?

I brought home a 8.5 week Labradoodle and bought 6 different treats to start potty training and other skills. He was not interested in any of these. I saw these and thought they were a tad pricey however if he didnt like them I could return them. There is 27 sticks in the 1 lb package. I cut off a 1/2 inch and he ate it! Not only did he eat it he wanted more- a perfect treat for training. I cut each treat into 20 peices for my puppy and had approximately 540 pieces for 20.00. Worth 20.00? You bet!! I'll be back for more!!

The 8 oz jar is 12.99, The 1 lb. jar is 20.99 and the other offer for 2 of the 1 lb. jars is out of stock so it doesn't give a price. The free shipping applies to when ordering $35.00 of SOME products that offer free shipping so you can have other items besides this ginger power in your cart that also offer free shipping to get the total up to 35.00 to get that. A bit tricky... I have no clue what the ($9.54/oz) is about... Hope this helps...

I originally purchased this bag for $3 per pound/free prime shipping, which was kinda high until I saw that it was $25.98 plus $3.91 shipping. At that price a fool and his money are soon parted.

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

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.

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.

Hi! Thank you for your interest. We pay shipping per lb. If u tell me what you want to order I can check the shipping for you. Thanks again

I'm in agreement with GrandmaB! Amazon's pricing makes no sense. I bought the 12 oz package at my local Walmart for $3.87. I would like a case of the product if the price were right.

i was wondering the same. I bought these from Amazon a year ago for $12.64 per bag of 30 so the price has literally doubled. Other online stores are currently selling these for $12.99 - $16.99. I would love to keep buying from Amazon but this price is way out of line.

No, they do not. You can buy a small container for $7-8, or a 2 lb bag for about $3. Go figure.

Yeah. But it don't weight 20 pounds . It comes on a box weights 20 oz. Maybe.. no more then 1lb.

It depends on where you're shopping. These cost more at a local grocer near me (the only store that carries them around me) so it may be a deal for some. But seriously, I see so many questions of "why are they so expensive compared to where I get it?" on amazon, it's simple- its for those that have NO access. For those of you who do AND pay less, it's futile even asking questions like that.

sorry i did not check the price so carefully, comparing with other retailers, i found they are much cheaper and the size are larger too (in 20 oz.)

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

Probably to keep the shipping charge reasonable. No one wants to pay 15.00 to have an item shipped. I weighed my bag and it is 11 pounds. I use amazon prime so I don't pay shipping on anything. Different sellers advertise different shipping costs. Seems strange but I think it is to keep the product more appealing. I hate paying outrageous shipping charges and won't usually buy items if the shipping is high.

what ever it is..the price is too high compared to every store in us. in costco the price is just 18.99 for 4 lb bag..just stay away from this

I didn't buy it at Amazon because I thought the price was too high. But maybe Amazon is putting more than one package of it together, which would make the price much more reasonable. The 6-oz package I bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond was definitely not that heavy.
