According to the grocery purchasing agents I deal with, the sale of
Breyers 1/2 gallons slowed to a crawl when it was priced over $4.00.
Stores and the manufacturer know that raising the price cut too much into
their volume. There's a definite limit to how much prices can be raised.
Customers have arbitrarily pegged, yet very firm ideas of what they're
willing to pay for non-necessities.

The price is now $5.49 locally. At 64 ounces it would be $6.29. They
passed the $4 mark and are still selling. The only time I'll buy it now is
when on sale every few weeks. I get a few and keep them in the freezer. Sale
price is up to $2.74 last week. Rather than run sales on rotation, just
sell at a fair price every day. Since they cut the package size, I've not
bought any at full price. Screw them.
