Did they go up, like 2000 won per thing? I went yesterday, and the prices seem much higher on the pies, donuts, etc. Also, it seems they replaces cinnamon buns with some sort of pecan syrupy thing  |

Yeah, I think they did go up. I got some bagels over the weekend and they were 4890, but I'm pretty sure they were 3550 the last time I went.
Regardless, they are still the cheapest around....
But one thing I've noticed is that the quality of their baked goods has steadily gone down over the past 6 or 7 months. Last time I bought muffins, they only had a few blueberries sprinkled on top. But before they had many that were mixed in throughout the muffin.
The chinsy bastahds! |

It seems like lots of things have gone up. Maple syrup was 22,000 just a few months ago, and now is 24,200.
From what I gather, skyrocketing food prices are a worldwide phenomenon. |

| Pisses me off that they only have mixed cookies, since I hate the white chocolate ones. why can't they just have packages of chocolate chip, or oatmeal raisin? Come to think of it, I'll write that in their suggestion box next time I'm there. They also should start stocking Louisiana hot sauce, or franks red hot. |

Potatoes are now a luxury food.

We should hold a protest. We could make some of those kamikazee headbands and beat our fists in the air in unison. "NO MIXED COOKIES". |

NO WAY! I actually MADE a trip to Costco this weekend JUST cause I was craving the white chocolate macadamia ones. OH MY GOD. I actually threw out the chocolate chip ones, not a fan. Now the oatmeal raisin ones are yummy.
But PLEASE DO NOT BOYCOTT THE WHITE CHOCO ones! Actually, on second thought, I need to lose weight, so maybe its a good thing u do. I just can't believe ppl don't like them. |

the used to sell muffins in flats of chocolate or whatever, but now they only come in mixed. When they made the switch a few years back I asked and was told that head office in the states made the decision. - yeah thanks, now I don't buy muffins cause I don't want to throw away one third of them (walnuts are yucky) |
