When calculating the cool storage and transportation costs, DDF price is approx $100 per case of $36.
If there are 10 people/10 cases at the same time, all cash, can maybe do $95 the first time.
($2.62 per 10 oz bag)


Great price.
We had them out for tasting at a Kinus Torah today --
Amazing reviews over YT.

Isn't 2 for $5 better? Or is this like Israel where you can get 1 for three Sheq and 3 for 10 Sheq
Thanks -- will post pics soon.
BenZ is selling them for $3.29 per bag and $5 for 2 bags.
Location: 332 Albany Avenue

10 case cash pricing for private individuals (not for retail sale)
will be available for the next 5 hours.
PM for details.
Now packed as 36 bags per case, so much cheaper investment --  will update wiki when I get the chance...

Def recommend BenZ's on Albany where it's $3.29 per bag or 2 for $5.

However if this group can only come to CH after 9pm, or of there is a quantity limit, or if the special price times out, then the per-case could be an option.

Product is called California Gourmet Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. (45% cacao)
Try BenZ first: 332 Albany Avenue. Great store, excellent gourmet selection.

Excellent!
Equal or better than your current bags of Pareve Trader Joe's?

(Can we use that quote for a testimonial? ...jk...)

Looking forward to the Cleveland stores carrying them.

Cleveland store (Ungars) wants 2 cases as soon as possible.

We have several cases in Beachwood. Can anyone deliver from Beachwood to Ungars today or Sunday or Monday?
Will pay  your choice of cash or free gourmet chocolate or both.


Amazing reviews in NY, PA, and CA so far. 150 taste testers -- Same or BETTER than TJ's according to all!
Delicious, creamy, rich-chocolate. Bakes, melts, dips, perfectly. Great packaging, too:

These chocolate chips are amazing -- Once you taste them, you may actually prefer them as currency.
Will gladly pay you, if preferred. Confirming the OH address and a good pick-up time.

Sure!
PM me some store names and email addresses and they'll get a great price if they can do a New York warehouse pick-up.

Otherwise we can ship, however it will raise prices... Even shipped to Boston, will still be better tasting and half the cost of "Paskesz" and "Enjoy Life".

Have not been following this thread. . 

I may interested in purchasing some.
.
How many bags in a case?

ETA: just read though this thread.
So it's 36 per case? (and not 48?)

Will there be a pickup option in lkwd?

I might be interested. I am just curious though if it's the same manufacture what do you mean by equal or better?
Same supplier -- easy to tell when you eat them.
--  Much fresher as they've been bagged in the past 6 days.
You can taste for yourself if they are equal or better.

Anyone buying one or more cases on Tuesday can have advance tasting on location.
