Most often the store brand in the Giant stores is cheapest but the
Sun-Maid box was on sale and cost less. Actually Trader Joe's sells
raisins at a low price in plastic bags but the bags tend to spill once
opened. TJ's is not as convenient for me as the regular super markets
and it and I often forget to pick up raisins. When I remember I do put
the raisins into Giant cylinders.
