I was shopping at Winn-Dixie yesterday when I found something rather odd. I always assumed that the generic store brand items were supposed to be cheaper than national brand, barring a sale. But here the generic "snack" bags, which are actually a bit smaller than the Glad sandwich bags, are nearly a dollar more expensive. No sales, either.
This isn't the first time I've seen something nutty like this at Winn-Dixie. Not sure what's going on over there. Maybe they're trying to emulate Target?
It's always a good idea to pay attention to prices — even with generics. You never know what goes on in the mind of a grocery store.
]]>OMG! What if Consumerist figures out that grocery stores are FULL of different items which have different prices!?
It's the biggest story of all time!!!
]]>The full size image, posted by the OP (not me!!) earlier in the thread. IDK why the editor only posted the ridiculous postage stamp one.

]]>I would like to see the prices of the other snack bags along with the Winn-Dixie snack bag - then I could really compare apples to apples here.
As it stands, it's a very odd post by Megan, since it doesn't really make sense.
]]>Counterpoint: Doritos, with 120 degree angles, and potato chips, which we all know have no angles, are also snack-worthy.
Counterpoint wins.
]]>@TheDustball: I know; that's why I put the question marks there :)
]]>@triscuitbiscuit: Does this look like CSI: Miami?
]]>Is it because they come in a "FUN" size?
]]>@TheDustball: ???
]]>Snack bags are typically more expensive. For this reason I actually bought the sandwhich bags myself.
]]>@pecan 3.14159265: OMG.. I love Bugles. They are so fun.. and tastey too!
Last night I bought the FlipSide Crackers... pretty good as well.
]]>@katstermonster: Not even Bugles, so you can make yourself witch fingers?
]]>Pretty sure it's because drug dealers used to buy them all so they realized the market was lucrative...
Or something
]]>I vote on the quantity difference between the packaging being the main reason.
]]>they are referring to the size of the bags...not the quantity of bags inside the box. Our local staores have similar products and the sandwich bags usually have far fewer bags than the snack backs...you get almost twice as many in the snack bags.
]]>And you'll always be Fresh Perked to me.
]]>My only question: Winn-dixie still exists?!
]]>"...which are actually a bit smaller than the Glad sandwich bags, are nearly a dollar more expensive."
]]>Umm...profit?
