Remember when you got these animal crackers in a box for 25 cents. Well those days are gone and apparently marketing wants you to buy in larger quantities. The cookies are good and the ones we purchased were on sale for 1/2 the internet price. Seems like the local stores run these crackers, Oreos and others at 99 cents every once in a while. We like the product and have a bag of each open as well as a bog in reserve. There are crisp and fresh. Be sure and check the "use by" dates.
