Sauerkraut used to be the cheapest thing you can buy, lately it’s about the same price per pound as ground turkey, my guess is like everything it costs too much , too bad they don’t let pay a little more to get it
Gotta ask for onions now, when previously one had to ask for sauerkraut but then get onions from a dispenser.
I do remember when I used to be a Sam's Club member. They had sauerkraut, but it was in some kind of aseptic tetrahedron shaped single-serve packaging and one could grab a bunch without anyone caring.
