I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

You have a pretty cool supermarket. Target charges $4.89 for 26 = $.18/cup (with lids)

This comes out to $.088/cup

National chains don't have good prices on papergoods. Disposable goods are overpriced, even at Costco.

Those are not insulated

True, but would you pay that premium?

It's a paper cup.

Are you kidding me? That's like saying Faragamo Shoes $100 is not that great cuz Rockports are $90.

You may not think the price is warranted, but many people like these cups!

Yes, but for your morning cup of coffee, would you pay the difference?

$40.74 now
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Wonder how amazon warehouse deals sells this as  "used". Are they just new but repackaged?

I think they actually just raised the price from a few minutes ago. Now 36.67 + 2.52 tax. K Pittenger not charging tax.

Boxed always has them for $12.79 for 160.
$12.79/160*500=$39.96 vs. $33
