I've been looking for these babies for months, and today I finally saw some at our local grocery in our little town! :D
I was not going to buy them for $10-$20 with shipping online, ya know.
I grabbed two and since I didn't have very much to buy, I went through the express lane. The lady behind me asked me, "what are those?!" and I told her what they were and how I'd been on the lookout for them for ages (even checking Whole Foods in a larger city). Wouldn't you know it, when the checker scanned them, they didn't have a listing, :rolleyes:. Since I was in the express lane I didn't want to hold the line up, so I just said "nevermind on those" and came home. But I was so disappointed that I called and asked my DH to stop by there on his way home from work, hoping that they would have priced them by then. He said that they checked on it for him and they were $3.99 each, and not only that, some other woman stopped *him* and was so curious as to what they were. :D

Anyway, I chopped one of them open when he got home (although I was careful I was still afraid I would cut my fingers off :eek: ) and put a straw in it and both my DD and DH were all, "mmmmm! That's good!".

Just wanted to share. ;)

Life-changing food, they are... I can get them locally for about $1.50 or so, thanks to a tip from someone else on this board. Enjoy!

Ditto! wow :(

Might wanna tell them that $1.99 is the going price and if you buy a case you EXPECT to be closer to that rate!! sheesh

Be nice of course :) but lots of times they just slap a price on em and that is rediculous!!

Oh, I am jealous. I can't find them anywhere here. And I would totally be willing to pay $3.99 just to get my store to stock them. :D
