We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

    Every place I am looking right now is either more expensive or out of stock. And I am also not seeing it further down the list. What you say does make sense when looking for a general item, but it doesn’t work very well when looking for a very specific one. In our case- PG Tips Extra Strong blend 80 count boxes of tea.

      Depends on where you are and shipping too. I was able to find this stuff locally (in store pickup) near me for cheaper than amazon. Also the walmart thing. I’m in Canada though, so VPNed to some city in the US and was able to do the same.

      Might take a while to find the goose but I think you can find cheaper than amazon. And as others said, sellers will also change prices for people with subscriptions who don’t check, so I prefer to not rely on that
