Vernors Hits The Jungle...

This morning brought another Vernors sighting. This time, in the jungle of products and services for sale from Amazon.com. Here, some entity named "Hometown Favorites" is advertising 4 six-packs of Vernors for $12. While this is not a extraordinarily outrageous price, we have to take into account what the shipping costs would be for something that heavy.

And therein lies the rub. And what a rub! Shipping to Claremont, California would cost $27, more than twice the cost of the product. I have been able to find Vernors (although mostly diet) for $3 a six-pack without having to pay a premium shipping cost.

Here's a list of stores that carry it in my area:

Stater Brothers
1055 W Foothill Blvd
Claremont, CA 91711

Stater Brothers
1045 N Garey Ave
Pomona, CA 91767

VONS
550 E. Baseline Rd .
Claremont, CA 91711

VONS
2340 Foothill Blvd
La Verne, CA 91750

VONS
1160 Via Verde Ave
San Dimas, CA 91773

Albertson's
3180 NORTH GARY AVENUE
Pomona, CA 91767

All of these stores sell Vernors for about the same $3 per six pack.

Here's my tip, go into your local grocery store and ask them to order Vernors for you. Most stores will, even in the quantity you want.
