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.

@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 🤮
