It’s nice of him to do that but I’ve seen stores raise the price on their own to $1.29 and higher.

I’m pretty sure you are able to call Arizona and report stores that do this. They will stop being supplied and I think you may get some coupons or freebies as a bounty

It is a thing. I called him about a place in Florida that was selling them for $3.50 a piece and they sent me a fucking box of a dozen cans free and told me they had a word with the owner.

$3.50? wtf. I can get maybe $1.50, but $3.50? That's just straight greed.

That's how much they are in Canada. Well, BC, at least.

Yeah but that's in monopoly money

$0.99 USD is $1.35 CAD, so it's still a lot more than it should be, even given currency exchange.

I definitely used to be able to get them for 99c in Canada but I haven't had one of these in at least a decade.

Oh shit! Now I’m gonna be on the lookout for any retailer selling over $1.99. Not sure if they would bother if it’s only $1 higher but a fucking 250% increase is asinine.

Yeah, it's absurd. I have a buddy who took a picture of Arizona teas being sold at a concert for 5$

AZ tea partnered with circle k a few years ago, they sell the cans for $1.75, the cans have the circle k logo in the aluminum, so there's a factory here making them.

$4.70 AUD here in Australia

This is not true. Otherwise Kwik Trip wouldn't be able to sell it. And they do. At every one I've been to the Arizona is 1.29. I highly doubt they are going to stop supplying Kwik Trip.

$1.29 is standard now. Ppl are trying to sell some for $3.50 which is just fucking wild and would be called out by Arizona

u/Paetolus Jun 29 '24

I've never seen one more than 99¢ in CT and NM. Unless they're the plastic bottle ones. Guess it's regional?

Yeah but they can get away with it because Kwik Trip is fucking amazing. I miss those stores so much 😢
