A few months ago, a half-gallon Bryers ice cream magically became 1.75
quarts. But at least the vanilla was still 2 quarts. I bought a half gallon of their natural vanilla ice cream about a week ago. I was gonna buy another half gallon tonight and noticed that even the vanilla is now 1.75 quarts. The price is still the same. I bought a half gallon of Kemps and a half gallon of Blue Bunny instead. It wasn't easy finding a carton that didn't say "CARB" (as in "LOW CARB") prominently on the label, but that's a rant for another day. Best regards, Bob |

The price is still the same. Just came back from Stop & Shop[. The vanilla here is still a half gallon. The flavors with more ingredients seem to be the ones that are 1.75 from what I can tell. Perhaps they change the size as the price of cream fluctuates rather than change prices all the time. Price was $5.29. Ed |

Vanilla just passed saffron as the most expensive seasoning and is still climbing. I saw a 16 oz bottle of vanilla extract for $49USD the week. Forecasts are that it may go as high as $64 for 16 oz.

You can keep a real bottle of vanilla extract way in the back of the pantry where no one will find it so the kids won't waste it. For a few things, I prefer imitation vanilla (any kind of cookie except sugar cookies.) Sugar cookies, most cakes, and vanilla ice cream get real vanilla -- at least they always have until now. Everything else usually get imitation vanilla. I haven't bought any real vanilla in about 6 months and I'm about out... Dreadingly, Bob |

I still have maybe a teaspoon of Penzey's double strength vanilla. Problem with that bottle is that the lid sticks to the bottle. TIGHT! Maybe with the imitation stuff, I won't have that problem, and I'll also maintain the snob appeal of Penzey's. (that was a joke - I love their stuff) No kids around here, except Crash, and he's not really into vanilla. >For a few things, I prefer imitation vanilla (any kind of cookie except >sugar cookies.)

I haven't bought any real vanilla in >about 6 months and I'm about out... I use the imitation vanilla for my very infrequent baking. The vanilla I usually use is the clear, double strength vanilla from Sweet Celebrations (www.sweetc.com). It's used for making pure white cakes and icings, and has a completely different flavor from standard vanilla. I can't find it listed on their website, but it should be in the catalog. I add it to my drinking water to mask the flavor of the hard water in the town we moved to. Hag's kids dubbed my water, "the icky water," and preferred the stuff from the tap. {{shudder}} Carol |

Not light oil, but before discovering white albacore, I bought the tuna that was packed in olive oil. It was a big improvement over the water packed stuff. Carol |
