If you live in an area with a store like a dollar store/tree/general, getting snack foods from there is cheaper than going to a normal grocery store like Walmart. At least it is where I live.
I don't know if it's changed prices in other places with these types of stores, but at $1.25 for generic thin mint cookies, that isn't a terrible deal at all if you ask me.
I remember reading that they purposely shrinkflate packages specifically for those stores so you end up paying more in the end. Maybe it was just an isolated thing though.
I wouldn't know since the snacks I'm usually getting there are things I've never seen at any big chain store like Walmart.
Dollar stores are almost never cheaper than any alternative.
