How awesome. <br /><br />This is going to sound funny but I could see a lot of people passing it by at $6 for 5 cups but totally buying $1 for 3/4c (like a single serving package)! People are funny about pricing and $1 sounds cheap even though they are paying the same price per volume. <br /><br />Just a thought about package sizing. Perhaps you could try both sizes to see.

Nice that they have that opportunity at a grocery store.<br /><br />I think that $6 for 5 cups is reasonable because granola can be VERY expensive... I just probably wouldn't buy it myself because I like making my own. But if I DID buy granola, I'd totally pay $6 for good quality stuff!Saganhttp://livingintherealworld.net/healthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-15946858285566217462011-01-12T13:29:56.271-05:002011-01-12T13:29:56.271-05:00Ok, honestly this is tough, I would and I would no...Ok, honestly this is tough, I would and I would not spend $6 on this. The reason being that I know I do not eat granola enough to buy 5 cups worth, so for me personally, I know I would be tossing it (I have to eat it in about a week here or the moisture makes it soggy, no matter what I keep it in, maybe I need a well sealed glass container), but I DO think 5 cups of your homemade granola is worth $6 and I would buy it from you at least once. If it didn't go to waste, then I just might buy it again :) Good luck on this business venture!MelindaRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523272874667790035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-3765064606016534832011-01-12T12:52:23.702-05:002011-01-12T12:52:23.702-05:00I would say a great first use for your le creuset....I would say a great first use for your le creuset.

I've seen a lot of kale around the blogs lately and it makes me want to buy some! <br /><br />I have to be honest, I would not buy $6 granola.

Once in a while we "splurge" - well, usually my husband sneaks things into the cart or comes home with surprises and they're just things like that - usually a bag of granola I won't buy on a weekly basis, but love, or a fun trail mix, etc!

The only groceries that I spend $6 on for one item are bulk items or an item that has been really publicized and I have heard a lot about. It may be homemade and taste amazing but I dont know the taste when its sitting on the shelf. I think you should look at the other granolas on the shelf and try to make your price competitive with theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-72044560463609476012011-01-11T21:53:43.626-05:002011-01-11T21:53:43.626-05:00Happy Birthday to Nick!
