Looking at your kielbasa since that's apparently a big item for Pederson's.

A 4 pack is $30. That's $7.50 each, plus $20 shipping. ($50 total)

At 50% off that's $3.75 each plus $20 shipping. ($35 total)

As mentioned in the last thread A: I'm not buying a whole bunch of sausage at a time (just my personal situation), B: I just can't justify deciding to take a risk on a product I don't know if I like at a higher price (despite the discount Pedersons here is $3.75 vs $2.69 for my standard product at HEB) then throw a $20 bill at it to ship it. Now, at the base price of $3.75, that is a negligible difference I'm happy to pay for a local quality product I like. I'd gladly pay that, so that rate isn't the issue. It's $20 shipping for 4 links of sausage that's the problem. Again, I understand shipping frozen or refrigerated items is expensive so I'm not begrudging it, it's just not worth it.

As packaged this decision is still a "no" for me despite being intrigued by the product and curious about its taste and quality. And none of this mentions the actual price of the product beyond the texags short term discount, which is a hard pass for me even if I didn't have to ship it.

For $7.50 a link it needs to be made out winged Pegasus.

So I guess the hinge point for me is two fold:

A: the actual undiscounted price is too high for me
B: I'm not sure I know I like it.

Sounds like Pedersons needs to get out and start handing out samples. I'd take a 50% off coupon for a single package of sausage I can pick up at my local HEB/Kroger/whatever any day. If I like it, and the retail price comes down a bit, (~$5??) they've got a new customer.

But untasted, I'm not doing it as proposed above.
