Okay, today I went to Wal-Mart and the price for Mission Carb Balance
tortillas, taco size was 10 in a bag (not 8) and the price was $2.32. Their
normal tortillas were 10 for $1.59. I don't think that is anywhere near "3
times as much." If you want to buy about 40 of the lowest price tortillas in
the store, you can get them for about 10 cents apiece. But, you have to buy
in bulk...well, I consider 40 of them to be "bulk." You may not.
So, the difference is 23.2 cents for the Carb Balance and 15.9 cents for
their regular ones. It's not going to break my bank and I see no reason to
be "pissed" as was DK. Like I said, maybe we would prefer they didn't
produce them at all?

I was just at the store today, but completely forgot about this
thread, so didn't look (and wasn't buying tortillas today). But *now*
I'm wondering why we pay so much for the Carb Balance tortillas up
here. More than $1.50 per package is a *lot* of transportation cost.
Forgot to check the "regular" ones -- I'll be back in town on Thursday
*and* Saturday, so hopefully one of those days I'll be able to
remember to check this. Since I don't buy them there, it's hard to
remember to look.

Where are you located? I have noticed that in Charlotte, NC, grocery costs
are a lot more than here in the Dallas area.

Hi, Pat --
I'm in the Ozarks -- and there are a lot of things here that seem more
expensive than the "rest of the world." The exception to that is cigs
and gas -- I think our prices are the cheapest in the country on both.
Well, today. After they pass the new ciggie tax, I doubt people will
be making the trip here from Illinois to stock up. :-)
