It's about 3.50-$4.00 A pint. You can sometimes find it on sale for
$3/pint. Same with their mexican sour crema - which is also
superior to anything else.

I don't understand why American-style sour cream costs $1.29/pint
when the main ingredient there is the same as mexican crema.

It's sometimes hard to har to tell the difference between the
Mexican SOUR creams and non-sour. My current jar from Cacique is
labeled "Grade A Table Cream". "Agria" means sour, but not all sour
creams are labeled that way.

Most Mexican markets around here sell it in the deli in bulk trays.
It's slightly cheaper there.
