Happened to be in the baking aisle at Costco last night, pints of pure vanilla extract were $10.99
Last time I bought vanilla it was ,$58 per quart.
I was overcome with excitement & bought 32 bottles.

I’ve noticed the price reduction, too. I hope non-alcoholic extracts follow this trend soon. Fortunately, the high vanilla prices had me omitting vanilla from a lot of recipes and I now think vanilla extract is criminally overused.
P.S. what are you gonna do with 32 pints?
Try Vencedora. $15 for a quart. It may lack pedigree, but I like it a lot.

Are you joking about 32 bottles?

I’ve been taking the make-your-own route for many years now. I just checked my pantry and it looks like still have two 375 ml bottles I started in late October 2020 . I use cheap vodka, Costco vanilla beans which are sold for a somewhat reasonable price around Thanksgiving/Christmas.
