Food Find: Pirate's Booty going mainstream!

[Julie O]

I just saw Pirate's Booty in the healthy/organic food section of my local Kroger. Since Kroger is a very large chain, I thought some of you might finally have access to Pirate's Booty!

Hey, Julie O -


Yee-Hah! :D :D :D

(And I just started eating them this weekend... Anyone tried the veggie booty? Delicious!)

First I heard reports of it in Cincinnati. Now it's in Indianapolis.

Can't be too much longer before it's in Columbus! Yay!

I've seen it at Whole Foods in St. Paul, Minn.

Whole Foods in Mass has Pirate Booty, and two of my local Health Food stores also carry it. Now my little neighborhood market is carrying it but for $2.49, but in a pinch...........

Ever since Rosie dumped a bag of Pirate Booty (or so I've heard, I didn't see the show) and announced that "This is worth 2 Points on Weight Watchers!", everyone's wanted it.

We have it in our Kroger here in Houston too - but I was going to keep quiet about it because it sells out as soon as they stock the shelves!! (Just kidding - I was actually thinking about posting a topic about it when I saw this one!!)

Just saw it today in the downtown Pittsburgh GNC (General Nutrition Center) store. Just gotta try it. Haven't eaten any before.

I am curious, how much are you paying for the small, single serving bags?

[luckylori]

I have to pay $2.49 a bag for it. I don't mind paying it cause it's so darn good. But I do mind not having any willpower, and eating a whole bag of it, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a healthy treat. Anyone else have this problem?
Lynn, that's for a 4 ounce bag, though. I haven't seen single-serving sizes. That sounds a lot safer!

[JHolcomb]

Oh God, I just ate a whole bag tonight, but my rational was that a) I have PMS and there are worse things I could be stuffing my face with b)we were watching a movie and c) it goes stale REALLY fast even if you put it in a ziploc. So there. I feel justified. And I have seen the little bags of veggie and fruity booty, but not of pirates booty. I think they were about a dollar a piece.

I was at the local Trader Joes today and could only find Fruitty Booty and Veggie Booty. I bought 2 bags of the fruitty booty. The veggie stuff didn't look really appetizing to me. I am still anxious to try the pirate's booty.

I have found Pirate"s Booty at Bi-Lo (Westwood location) in Johnstown, PA. They recently remodeled the store and added a decent natural foods section.
I LOVE Pirate's Booty...I do anally measure out and eat it one serving at a time (I use my ww scale)...mine stays pretty fresh, though. I keep the bag sealed with these clippy things that I bought at IKEA (love IKEA, too!) :)

[AZLorena]

OK---I found Pirate's Booty.....the cheesy stuff. I definitely like it better than fruitty booty. You all were right. I am a believer!

[wonderwoman]

We can get Pirate's Booty at Trader Joe's out here in CA. I think it's $1.69 for a larger bag. My husband and I love the stuff, and it's usually half gone by the time we get home from our grocery shopping and other errands. :)

If you don't have it in your area, you can order it from www.robscape.com (all three flavors) in the "Buy Snacks Now" section, although at my house it would be dangerous to order it by the case. :)
