If you're giving me an excuse why you don't to buy on jet, I honestly don't care.
Nah, I'm just adding some information to the folks reading in general. Obviously each of us makes our own decisions what/where to buy stuff!
It's whatever you prefer. Jet has pretty good prices on those things you mentioned all year round-
If you prefer to wait for sales and buy elsewhere, no harm in that.
The "good" prices I saw were the Osem croutons (best I've ever gotten previously was $1.99 each 14oz package) that I usually buy by the case (of 12) from Amazon. Another good price was Crystal Light fruit punch for $1.50, and the other Crystal light at $2.50 was okay, but they go on sale at the supermarket BOGO at that price every month or so (and at the supermarket I can get 4.5X MR with Amex EDP). The Dixie plates are about 8.4 cents per plate (10 1/4 size) at Jet and about 7.9 cents per plate at Walmart, so with the Jet discount it's a tiny bit cheaper, but without the discount it's more. Also, coupons completely change the equation, for example, I have a rice coupon for $1 off (plus there are things like iBotta that will give another 50 cents or $1 off that I used recently). It's not so easy to compare prices directly nowadays
We should post a collection of "good" Jet prices here, or maybe on a new thread dedicated to that purpose (but dedicated threads rarely work because people want to also discuss stuff there).
