Yet, I've paid for restaurant meals for two that could have bought me a lifetime supply of Rao's. I don't like to think about it.
Rao’s marinara at Safeway is like $6.99-8.99 a jar of 24-oz
the Costco price is like $10.89 for a 2-pack of 28-Oz jars
the other Italian marinara sauce jars don’t have such a big discrepancy on cost. I think Rao’s has a higher retail to offset the warehouse chain discount AND promotions as well as the grocery chain promos. It’s definitely best to only buy on sale as opposed to any full price retail.

I got to the restaurant and had to wait an additional 20 minutes beyond the hour. I get that they are small and it was a holiday but bring in a couple more people. I ordered carnitas and they were dry. Rice and beans were good but all in all a disappointment.
Ugh sorry. Why don’t you order tonight from your preferred place? My treat. I’ll ship the $18.75 to you by PayPal because I’ve not yet set up my Venmo and $15 is still there from my last poker winnings (75 big blinds although we do a lot of straddles)
