It retailed for $6.19 as we all know that its cheaper per piece when one purchases say 4 Ice Cream cones in a box that are NOT labeled for individual sales, then 4 pieces that are, as the 4 in a box usually comes in white wrapping. Same can be said for any multi-package of almost anything.
My point is Im sure if it cost me $6 in a supermaket it costs CO alot less.And the one in the supermarket weighs alot more then what CO would serve me to boot.
Again, it
is more expensive because it isn't an ice cream cone, it's meat and it has to be handled a specific way, which means it probably does not wholesale for less than the retail. It is a commodity.
I do not know what supermarket you were at but every time I have looked at Halal foods or Kosher, it is significantly more expensive than what I would pay for something similar but non-Halal or Kosher. Granted, these were at supermarkets, not specialty stores.
