Here's my morning shopping experience.

I went to Price Chopper to buy some candy for a family treat this evening. The display had Russell Stover's SF candy side-by-side with the LC candy. This was a very good thing.

I compared the boxes of french mints. Ingredients and nutrition info were identical. But, catch this: SF contained 7oz vs LC which contained 6oz (in the same size box). It gets even better. The SF was $2.99/box. The LC was $4.99/box. That works out to $6.83/lb for SF chocolate while the LC was $13.30/lb! That's ridiculous! Both Price Chopper and Russell Stover's are on the LC bandwagon - and making us pay the price for it!

I know that LCers want more LC products to show up mainstream. But, we need to be good consumers and beware! If this is happening with the candy, you can be sure that it is happening in many other products as well.
