I went to Albertsons today to buy some sugar free gelatin. Didn't have to
be the Jell-O brand but that was the only kind they had. Also only two
flavors, both red ones. And the only size was the 8 serving box for a
whopping $2.87! Now I don't normally even buy this stuff. But I do
remember paying something like 10 cents a box. Likely for the smaller box
and likely when I was a young adult. Not sure if they even made the sugar
free kind before that.

I also remember usually buying some other brand which was cheaper. This was
likely Royal or a store brand. The only other brand of flavored gelatin
that they had was the Kool-Aid. And it wasn't sugar free.

I wound up buying 4 made up cups of lemon lime for I think $2.67.

I have since looked online. I can get a dozen boxes of the 4 serving Royal
brand from Walmart for approx. $4.63. For some odd reason, different
flavors are different prices. And they will give you a discount if you buy
various combinations. Like 12 cherry and 12 orange. No price was listed
for a single box because they don't ship them that way.

So what's going on with the Jell-O? They seemed to have plenty of the
sugary stuff. Lots of flavors. Is the sugar free falling out of favor?
And why so expensive? I do seem to remember having trouble finding any
lemon which was the only allowed flavor (due to color) to be eaten prior to
a medical procedure. I think I found some at Winco but I know I didn't pay
that much for it.

I will go out and look at some other stores. I don't need a dozen boxes.

So is it just my Albertson's store? Or is something up with the Jell-O?
