I used to buy a lot of Stewart's ice cream on sale. The weekly sale price of three flavors was 3.39. Then they began raising the price, and it got to $3.69 in August. I checked yesterday, and all flavors are on sale for $4.13. Usually, when they all go on sale, the price is lower than the weekly sale price. That works out to $.03 per pint, while the supermarket ice cream is $0.82 per pint. No contest. I liked some of their flavors, but ice cream is ice cream.
I appreciate your economic approach to buying ice cream. For many, "ice cream is ice cream". However, as in cars, computers, cameras, and most items, there are huge differences in the quality of similar products. For sure, "ice cream is not ice cream".
