$60 For a Half Gallon of Ice Cream?
By JLP | July 24, 2006
Wow!
According to the August issue of Money, you can order six pints (they have a six pint minimum) of gelato from Il Laboratorio Del Gelato for the low price of $90 plus $35 shipping, which works out to $60 for a half gallon. Again, all can I say is “WOW.”
Is it possible for a particular brand of ice cream to be that much better than the regular stuff we buy at the grocery store? I’m not going to spend $125 to find out. However, if any of you want to send me some ice cream as a gift, I won’t turn it down!
The other ice cream makers the article mentions are:
Capogiro Gelato - $10 per pint/six-pint minimum/$22 overnight shipping
Graeter’s - $11.67 per pint/six-pint minimum/$50 overnight shipping
Homer’s - $10 per pint/eight-pint minimum/FREE overnight shipping
Jeni’s - $9.17 per pint/six-pint minimum/$20 - $50 two-day shipping
In case you are wondering, Il Laboratorio Del Gelato won the taste test with an “A” grade. The “worst” performer of the group was Capogiro Gelato with a “B-”. Regardless, I think I’ll stick with my Blue Bell, which costs me $5.49 for a half gallon (or $3.33 - $3.50 when it is on sale).
