Yeah good idea.
Why don't we look around in our local areas and on the Internet and see if we can find a wholesaler willing to sell a few hundred (or thousand) dollars of this stuff. I bet we could get the price down to $2.50 a pack or lower if we bought enough. That is what? $0.005 a mile? 50,000 miles for $250. Not bad if we can pull it off!

There seem to be a few gourmet food suppliers etc. on the Internet that I found with google that sell the snack wedges. Would anyone with economic acumen be willing to contact them and try to negotiate a good wholesale price?
p.s. I googled this phrase "Swiss Knight snack wedges" and saw the companies on the third and fifth pages I think.

If so, we could take the packets to the food bank and have them open them there. If they still have a problem with this, then they are blinded by their own beaurocracy and the food needs to find an alternate home.

If I can score 200k miles for $1000 or less, I promise to do it

Another two Krogers, a Super Target and a Costco, with no luck. Lots of Laughing Cows and plenty of other Emmi cheeses, but no Swiss Knights.
However, I did find the Swiss Knights rounds and fondue sets at World Market, but none had the AA promotional packages.
