Glass jars piled like that make me feel uncomfortable
Nah, you can bowl with those Rao's jars.
I'm reading through all the comments and you seem to be the only one who has acknowledged what this post is actually about.
Everyone else is complaining about the price of pasta sauce.
I don't care how good it is, $8.50 for a jar of pasta sauce is highway robbery. It's like Bachan's BBQ sauce, sure it's good, but it ain't even close for those prices. I'd legit feel ripped off if I bought either.
The sign says "serving SoCal" so this is actually a below average price
Los Angeles grocery prices always make my eyes pop out of my head. It's just the cost of existing down there.
Shit is getting ridiculous here too. Luckily I've really gotten into cooking over the last five years or so. Fresh ingredients are still pricey, but much much much cheaper than what these corps are slopping out. I can make pasta or pizza sauce in these quantities fresh for under $2.
7.49 for fucking pasta sauce? Wtf

Damn for 18 bucks it better be orgasmic
im guessing the 'truffle" makes it expensive. if its the actual fungus i can see that.
Raos is good. Pretty consistently top rated. I basically thought all jarred pasta sauces were garbage before I tried it.
…it does always hurt a little when I splurge on a jar though. Also, Costco sells two packs of the 32oz jars for just a bit more than this and it goes on sale frequently.
raos is pricey, while the instore brand in wf, is like a cheap 2$.50cents
Most expensive one I could find with a simple google search in Germany is € 12.54 per kg,
the ones pictured above are 680g, so for $ 7.49 that's $ 11.01 or € 9.55 per kg (at current exchange rate)
Average price for pasta sauce in Germany seems to be around € 5.00 / kg, but then the Rao's might be among the pricier sauces in the US?

It is. It's a high-quality sauce made by a very famous restaurant in New York City. It's one of those few products that immediately stands out when someone tries a blind taste test on you.
It’s 8.50. It’s only 7.50 of you buy 5 other them or more.
Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)
Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously "It can't be that expensive if they treat it this poorly."
I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.
And oddly enough in order to prevent breaking the jars, the employee had to carefully position each jar haphazardly like that.
Cento peeled tomatoes and a little basil makes better sauce for less than 7.49 just saying
I'm gonna say the customers did this. It looks like the bargain DVD bin at Wal-Mart.
Nah, this kind of display is called a dump bin. It's meant to look like a chaotic jumble, but doing it with jars seems like a bad idea.
Rao’s is the most overrated pasta sauce on the market. Overpriced for no reason.
"Great Rao!"

If I remember someone from a few months ago, displays like this tend to sell better than well organized ones. I can't give any evidence other than remembering that statement though, so take it with a grain of salt.
they think its "past date, or on sale" its a trick.
