I bought Saturday walnuts 0.478 kg for $ 3.79,usually I go in a bulk store. When I buy 2 lbs shaved almond I pay $16 plus tax..always look for a good deal
I always look forward to buying nuts on sale this time of year cause they are so expensive the rest of the year. Also I store them in the freezer for year round use.
My Food Lion here in N.C. has a "Sale" on pecans...10 ounces for $6.89--then you read the small print--regular price is a whopping $6.99- only 10 cents off.
DH just called from the store where he found 16 oz pecans for $8.00 but they are still in the shell. How much can I figure the yield of pecans will be?
Not sure what walnuts are- are they typically cheaper than pecans?
So please tell us what state and which store and price your holiday nuts are.
WOW! And I thought $8.99 for a pound of shelled pecan halves was outrageous! But I bought two pounds because it's the holidays and they go into so many things. Gotta have them. What I should have done was made the trip to Trader Joe's where they always cost less. It's only a half hour away, but I always forget about TJ's!

I thought things were more expensive at TH. Am I wrong or maybe I'm thinking of Whole Foods.
I just wish I could buy fresh crop nuts (other than pecans - I'm surrounded by fresh pecans). It seems all the nuts in shell I buy are last year's crop as they are usually dry and rancid.
I was going to buy a little bag of pistachio nuts the other day but they were $7.00 for a little bag. This was in the CHEAP grocery store. I've been noticing the high prices for a few months now and have just stopped buying nuts. I hope the prices will come down but in the meantime I'll mostly live without them.
Macadamias are pretty expensive compared to other nuts but even then you can get a lb. from nuts.com for $15. At the grocery store you might get 6 ounces for $15 if you're lucky.
Hannafords grocery in VT: 6.5 oz. jar of macadamia nuts is $5.99, a dollar per ounce-which sounds comparable to the bulk price given.

That's not too bad.
