Gypsy and CJ, the price has already gone up several dollars since I bought it around a month ago. I considered it a very clear indicator that merchants want to get as much as they can from their stock (not limiting that remark to amazon). I also looked on other sites.. it was expensive there too, and now it is not appearing on most.

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

I apologize I cannot not tell you who had it at 603 and why it jumped since we are not the seller who had that price. There are several sellers and we sell it for 703.99 + shipping. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Maybe log out, then log back in again to refresh your cart. The price was dropped just last night, I got an email telling me so and when I came back to my cart to look, it was showing $9.99.

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

I just noticed the price increase!! Last time I ordered the 24 pound bag, it was around $24. It is now over $40! Crazy! What happened??

The price has gone up dramatically for some reason. I purchased these in June of 2013 from the same seller (Green Stuff Only) here on Amazon for $16.49 with Amazon Prime. Now the same seller is selling them for $29.99. I have no idea what could have driven the price up almost double over last year. I was hoping to buy more but am looking for alternatives at the moment.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

Due to shortage in inventory , distributors have raised the price. it should be back in stock soon and then the price will go down again

They just changed it (without telling me) from $18.42 to $22.00 in December of 2014.
