Looks like you changed your packaging :) (at Empire Kosher)
There were actually 3 bags of yours left in that box (which I of course took.) I wonder if I just got their last three bags...
ha...  Maybe they have more in-stock? The benefit of a red bag -- Thanks to great designer Yossi Belkin. That looks like the right price, but as Ya'alili shows here, it's pictured and labeled differently.

I can call in the morning and see if they need more stock. We also have free samples to give out, so maybe EK is a good place (as per Ya'alili's recommendation?)

At EK: Few weeks ago was a lot cheaper.

That's weird, they must've gone back down. I was also there earlier in the week and they were $2.99 then also.
I must've misread Ya'alili's post, I thought he was talking about the Marketplace where it's more expensive...

I should hope so in EK. $2.99 is more realistic. This way, the happy customers can buy 4-6 bags at a time. That's how we do it. Eat, bake, melt, dip.... Versatile....
(Same blue strip in the photo. Perhaps the same store. The photos help... Thanks for being the eyes across the East Coast.)

Lots of DDFers bought them in Lakewood. And took shelf pics... There are several Lakewood stores listed in the wiki,
Including: Farm Fresh, Kosher West, Shloimy's, Kollel Store, at least 2 NPGS stores:  (Jackson and James) :)

Maybe they sold what's on the shelf and there are more in the back. Did you ask someone at James Street? Rabbi Sender?
A manager would know. They bought many cases recently.

I'm wondering the same thing -- what did the manager say? Did they say that it already sold out there? What about NPGS on James Street? They may have the most stock..
     Also, have you tried:  Shloimy's, Farm Fresh, Kollel Store, Kosher West, etc..? Big run -- plenty of stock..

Which store do you like to buy yours'?

We thought that Shop-Rite and Restaurant Depot would be similar,
however once we tasted these side-by-side with those, we gave them all away and just use these...

$2.99 in Western Kosher in Los Angeles, now.  :)
