I think I get 20 or so for about $3.50 for the big Vlassics at Costco....if you can get $2 more power to ya, I cut them into 8 and give away with some sammies and dogs....not a "seller" in these parts.

I've had a lot of people ask for them at few different festivals. So I figured I'll give it a shot. I think I'll go with $1 though.

They are free with any meal at my joint. Confused Customer service #1 is worth a lot.

Just so we're clear, these are the BIG dill pickles that come in a huge tub that includes the paper sleeve to sell them individually.

gallon jugs, big pickle, i put it on a stick if they want, but very few did, but the ones that did like them were appreciative...i agree about the customer service aspect at less than a quarter per pickle...cj
