Kringles

Good grief. I just saw a presentation for the Kringles which they are selling for $45.50 for 2. Last week I bought a pumpkin one at Trader Joe's for $7.99. I also have bought the raspberry and almond ones. They are very good but no way would I buy them for that price.

I believe they are a different company than what is available at Trader Joe's.

Not everyone has a Trader Joe's in their area. Not everyone walks into a grocery store, especially for a non essential item. QVC price is in line with kringles companies' online prices, especially after shipping is factored in.

They are definitely the same company. It's right on the packaging. I realize that not everyone has a Trader Joe's. This was a post for those who do and are interested.

Last time I bought a Kringle at Trader Joe's or Aldi's it was from O&H Danish Bakery. Perhaps that's changed since it's been ages since I've been in a Trader Joe's. There are several bakeries in the Racine area that produce a Kringle.

It looks like QVC is selling Kringles from Racine Danish.

on another website, one harvest kringle from OH Danish Bakery is $25 plus $10 shipping from racine, ohio. compared to that company the ones from qvc are a better deal.

the vermont country store has kringles , package of two, for $45 plus at least $11 for shipping. qvc still has a better deal.

@sabra I understand what you mean by Trader Joe's and while I agree that not everyone is near one (I have 2 in my area) those Kringles are not rare so yes, I agree the price is very high.

They really are just fruit filled pastry anyway; not something hard to find.

(I hope none have mold in them.)

@Etoile308 I saw the O&H at TJ's a few weeks ago. The price is definitely lower at TJ's.

I'm not a Kringle shopper so I cannot attest to other products from Racine.

I went to Trader Joe's last week looking for a Kringle! It was a pain. Had to wait in line outside the store in a mask & then, of course, masked in the store & NO Kringles. Boo.

Do you know if they are the same weight-22oz-as the Racine Kringle.

A good Kringle may be worth that price to me. They are delicious.

Aldi's carries some and as a Kringle aficionado I can say they are as good as the Racine ones. I buy a ton from TJ's and Aldi and freeze them. We just ate the last one last week.

i love the almond and raspberry. The pumpkin 🤮

When we visited relatives in Wisconsin a couple of years ago they took me to their regular market and I bought six Kringles to take home - I think they were about $6 or$7 each. They're yummy but not worth the shipping cost.

That's why I always call them before I go to see if they have them. I just checked and they are 24 oz.

My Aldi has these Racine Kringles in almond or raspberry. 14 oz size for about $5.

We buy them at Trader Joes, usially the almond flavor, for $7.99.

Pretty sure right now TJ’s only has pumpkin. They change the flavor they offer with the season. Amazingly, given my sweet tooth, I’ve never tried a Kringle.

I love the almond one. I cut it in serving sizes and freeze it with parchment paper between them. I always get them at Trader Joe's.

The Kringles from Trader Joes are amazing we had an almond one last year. I have not been in Trader Joes in 6 months due to the pandemic

The Kringle I got a couple of weeks ago from Trader Joe's was Pumpkin Caramel and it was delicious.

I think the Christmas version is Almond which I've never tried before but I will this year. I've also had the raspberry which might be my favorite but the pumpkin was so, so good.
