Is this a reasonable price for a jar of molasses?

[debodun]

I am running low on molasses. I used to get it at Job Lots, but haven't had to buy any in over a year and it is no longer listed on their Web page. The brand I usually get is available at the local market, but it seems to be a little over-priced. Of course, everything seems to have inflated precipitously in the last year for some reason. Is over $8 for a 710 ml jar reasonable?

If you only buy molasses one time a year on average, what difference does a few coins make?

Go to a local feed store and ask for a gallon of unrefined livestock molasses.

Be sure to mention that you want something that is safe for human consumption.

Having nothing better to do just now Deb, I calculate that yes, it is reasonable, or usual.

Your jar is 710 Milliliters. (24.00796 Ounces (fl oz))
My store's jar is 12 oz, for 4.38

4.38 x 2 = 8.76

My opinion is this, very little (if anything at all) when it comes to value and price today, is reasonable or worth it.

Never use it, so don't know.

I wouldn't get molasses at a feed store.
I tried some & developed a terrible craving for grass & hay.

I just checked my Loblaws store and it is $7.99 for 472 ml but that is organic. Regular is $4.79.

LOL, me either.

I didn’t know molasses came in a jar. My bran muffins recipe calls for molasses. The price seems fair to me. Don’t skimp on quality.
