Does "ct." mean something? If not, those cookies are absurdly priced for just 3.6 grams.

A fitting metaphor for their health insurance system, when you think about it.

ct is Count, most likely. It's possible it's a mistake; it's also possible that they're hoping people who don't have the card will see $3.99 and miss the 'price with card' note, and not check the price when they check out.

Probably “count”. As in each. So 18 count, or 18 cookies specifically.

I think it means "count" like "18 ct" means "18 count" means there are 18 cookies in the package

Man I love shopping at Giant. Must be the bloomsburg store. Damn college kids.

I hate that you are right.

Since when does ct. Mean count? The only things i was able to find online, were carat (ct, unit of measurement of mass), ct count (covid-19), Connecticut (ct as shortened)

Internet man finds out the struggle of inconsistent units of measure.

Since when? In the US this has been used in stores for decades that I know of.

I just wondered if I could find examples in the wild so I searched for "grocery price tags". Didn't have to look much to find an example:

Wikipedia got you fam

ct following a number means the number of items contained in a package (e.g. zucchini 3 ct); abbreviation of 'count'

Just don't look at the best buy date.

Also, that's shitload of money for 18 cookies. Unless they're lying, of course.

Oh, this is why. Maybe i just was to biased to not use this search prompt, or and also that unlike in us, in my country food is not measured in count, but always in grams or mililiters. Thanks for explanation.

If the price per lb is the non discount price, then at 18 cookies, each cookie would weigh 1.4 lbs. Those are some massive cookies.

Even eggs?

what are you talking about? that's cheap.

typical store price where I am for 12 cookies is like 6-8 bucks. 4-5 bucks might get you 2-3 cookies. a single cookie will run you at 2.50.

60 count cookie from is 24 bucks. 24 is 10.

Yes. Just take as many as you need and pay for how much they weight, the same way as it is done with buying vegetables or fruits.

Has it gotten that bad in America that you'd be able to put an extra $100 on groceries without most people noticing? $10 though, sure.

A lot of folks use grocery delivery services, and the people fulfilling those orders are often unlikely to care enough to be diligent. If it's on your list, they'll get it.

100$ for 18ct?

I thought it was obvious that I meant that.

it's obviously an error/fake

One of my local grocery stores requires downloading their app. I have to manually generate and accept digital coupons in the app to get the advertised sale price on the shelf.

They have my account they've had for 20+ years tracking all my purchases for gas points. But now I need a phone app to personally and individually hand them my data they already have.

oh god... so i worked at one of these during hs/college. one black history month they had a section for 'black history month.' no bullshit, they had cotton balls, watermelon, fried chicken. i immediately mentioned it to a black co-worker.his response, 'yo wtf. that's fucked up.... but that's a really good price for chicken'the company eventually apologized.
