Has anyone ever bought any bakery products from a company that sells
online or through catalog sales? I was just curious because HSN was
featuring "David's Cookies" a while back and I couldn't believe the
prices they were charging. I thought you have got to be kidding. I
went to the David's cookies website and checked out some of their
prices. A 1 pound tin of cookies costs $22.99. A 2 pound tin costs
$29.99. I don't care if they are gourmet cookies. I can make a heck
of a lot more than 2 pounds of cookies with $29.99 dollars worth of
ingredients.
They're not the only ones who charge ridiculous prices. I make
homemade danish pastries from scratch. The dough itself takes several
hours if not a day to make. I also make my fruit fillings from
scratch. I figured the total cost for each danish to be about 45
cents. I went to a couple online bakeries and the minimum price I saw
for a single danish was $1.75. I think at that price I'd say you can
keep the danish.
