Why is Tidy Cat so much more expensive in a plastic container than in a bag? And

[raccoon]

that being the case, why do people buy it in the container?

1. Same reason people at my local store

But the 2lb bag of frozen peas for $2.50 instead of two 1lb bags for $.99 each. It's a lot more than just peas, too.

Don't ask me, man--I don't understand people

4. Food companies have been doing that lately, to trick people. Most people believe if you buy in

bulk it is cheaper per pound/ounce. But I have noticed stores are charging less per lb/oz in the smaller packages and more in the large. Pretteh sneakeh!

5. The per ounce/lb price is on the shelf tag.

Just gotta figure whether shelf life is an issue

6. Could be shelf life.

I've been noticing this pricing trend over the past year or so.

2. Because you can use the empty container as a bong. nt

3. Why would people buy it in a container more than once?

Special kind of stupid.

7. Not "stupid" -

I buy Tidy Cat in the jug and never thought to compare it with the price of the bag. Now that I've just looked it up online - it appears that the variety I purchase ("clumping&quot isn't sold in bags anyway.

8. That is it

one is clumping and the other isn't. The clumping stuff is probably too fine to work well in the bagger.

10. That's what the labels say, but I pay the bags and it clumps pretty well. nt

9. I buy Tidy Cat Pure Nature.

Clumping and made of corn and pine.

Also very light.
