Thought you guys might find this helpful. Wonder if any body has done this for Costco or Rest. Depot.
 
I bought a case of butts from Sam's on Saturday. They were $1.18 per pound. But the case contained 4 packages of 2 butts...
 
I got a case last week from Sams and got 4 2 packs for $1.06/lb... Those prices will change on a weekly basis...
 
I thought they packaged butts 6 2 packs per case. Have they changed that???
 
That's just what the guy told me, there may be 6 in a case, there may be 8. I tend to trust you guys.

after your list, I am not saving much/or paying more, but I really do like the selection, if you don't like whats out, just ask and they will open another case for you.
