cost of Nancy's cottage cheese
Kreibich
I was on vacation last week in Laguna Beach, CA, and I stopped at the Wild Oats store there. I looked for Nancy's cottage cheese and I almost didn't see it. It was in a WHITE container instead of a BLUE container. The price was $2.29. I copied down the ingredients to compare with the ingredients of the blue container that I purchased for $4.29.
Both containers have the same ingredients, but the blue container lists every item as organic. I forgot to look the white container over for the word 'organic'. Maybe someone who has it in your refrigerator can check. Perhaps the price difference between the white container of Nancy's cottage cheese and the blue container of Nancy's cottage cheese is whether the ingredients are organic or not. Carolyn K. |
Hi Carolyn,
The white container of Nancy's CC is not organic and the blue container is organic. The price you're quoting from Wild Oats is high compared to what I pay at Whole Foods in Northern California. I buy Nancy's organic low-fat CC in the blue container and pay $2.99 for it. I have my register tapes. The Nancy's non-organic in the white container is about a dollar less from what I recall.

Hi Carolyn, I don't have a white container right now, but I have checked both the white and blue container at the store. The white container was definitely non-organic. I just now, went to Nancy's website, I see that both products, even the conventional, are kosher; I think that means that the animal itself has been inspected. However, to the best of my knowledge, kosher doesn't necessarily indicate that there are no hormones or anti-biotics taken by the animals. I've emailed them to ask the difference between the organic and conventional. I will post their response when it arrives. Kind Regards, Janice |

We buy the ORGANIC Nancy's Cottage Cheese 1% Milkfat from our local Whole Foods. This is in the DEEP BLUE container. Initially, the cost was around $3.79. Just this week I noticed that the price has been ringing up $2.79. I speculate that the price drop is either temporary or they reduced the price because it sells very well. I know that I buy 6-7 containers at a time and that barely lasts a week so we are there quite often to load up.

Nancy's was also on sale at Wild Oats this week for 2.79. Sounds like Nancy's themselves may have initiated the sale price or maybe both Wild Oats and Whole Foods use a distributor that was running a special.
