kind bars

radimage — Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:24:24 GMT

A couple weeks ago when I bought a box of 18 Kind Bars at Costco I was surprised with how expensive they were when they rang up at over $17.

Now I don't feel like I paid very much a all.

What a great deal!!! My local grocery store carries them and they are $1.39 per bar. When they are on sale, they are $1.25 each. That's when I stock up but you really got a fantastic deal. I can't believe they are over $2.00 a bar on the Q. What a rip-off but I guess, for people who do not have access to them locally, they are worth the price. Enjoy! docsgirl

WalMart has kind bars at at a pretty good price, QVC is selling them for too much.

QVC is way out of line with Kind bars. Not to mention the last few times I bought some locally they seemed old or something. Not as good as they once were.

If you're interested in making your own, go to theyummylife.com. There's a recipe for a basic bar, plus ingredients lists & instructions for variations. I haven't tried it yet simply because it's too hot for baking right now. Once it starts cooling down, though, I'll give it a try.

In the meantime, I just watch for them to go on special at $1.25 each at my grocery store.

$1.39! Wow! In metro Chicago grocery stores, drugstores, Wal-mart and other places, the price starts at $1.59 per bar and go up to $2.75 per at some places. A lot of them don't even offer a good variety of flavors. As a result other than Whole Foods I usually end up ordering my KIND bars online. I don't mind ordering KIND from QVC when they have a flavor variety I know I can't get elsewhere such as the holiday package offered during Christmas in July. Reason being their price of $2.00 per bar is only slightly above average for my local area.

They are making up for the shipping and handling included.

Is it possible that Q is offering an exclusive or hard to get variety of flavors in this line, and that could be why the price is higher as well? I only ever had Kind bars once, when we were in Wal-mart and hungry, we picked up a 4 pack that had blueberry in it. They were so yummy, and way better than I thought they'd be.

Wow! I wanna go check out my Costco now! That's a great deal. I ordered the 18 pack here this week, but found them at Target for $4.99 for 4. I picked my flavors and promptly came home and canceled my order for the advanced sale pack

I buy my Kind Bars at Target and they are about $1.25 each. They are near the pharmacy in the power bar section. They come in boxes of 4. I have seen them at Costco but with that deal I cannot choose the bars that I like.

What they call "exclusive" isn't true.

All the flavors they have touted as exclusive to QVC are available at my local Wegmans.

What this really boils down to is that QVC lies about many things to get you to buy from them.

I think I must be the only person who doesn't like Kind bars. I really wanted to like them, and I've bought them a couple of times from Trader Joe's and Kroger. I just don't like them.

They ARE bland...but that's because they're supposed to be healthy???

Yeah don't ever buy food from QVC its way over priced, most of the stuff they sale can be brought at the store or cheaper from the company website. Especially those Lobsters, just get em from fresh local seafood market, who in the world wants a frozen Lobster? it will be as tough as a old hen LOL

My grocery store (Kroger) has them two for $3.00 almost all the time, and I picked some of the newer flavors yesterday; e.g., blueberry vanilla & cashew, dark chocolate mocha almond, and dark chocolate, nuts & sea salt. They have had them for $1.25 each, and on rare occasions, ten bars for $10.00. Better than the QVC price, especially if you have to add S&H.
