3.0 out of 5 stars Prices up, quality down since manufacturing reboot. Please let Quaker know this was a bad idea!
Although these are still tasty, since quaker bar recalls, the quality has definitely gone down to increase profit. They are obviously trying to reduce their costs by adding a lot less of the freeze dried fruit, yet the price has gone up as well. I understand that they probably had a drop in profits after the recalls, but they shouldn’t punish the customers for their error. What happened to earning back the trust of the customers after a recall?What had made these bars so tasty was the bursts of flavor you’d get when you hit a big chunk of fruit. Especially strawberries, I wish they sold the big box size with all strawberry! Or add more of the fruit bars and axe the vanilla bars. (They are always the last to go.)And can i suggest a peach option? Peaches would be amazing in these bars! Peach always go great with a “cream” type combo.Unfortunately, now they have saved costs by adding much smaller size crumbs mixed in. Your lucky to see one or two blueberries now too. So for us “super tasters” no anticipation of a burst or sudden change of flavor and texture with each bite. (Boring!) Though not as obvious, I suspect that they may have reduced amount of yogurt too.To the manufacturers, PLEASE increase and put back in the larger strawberry & blueberry pieces back in! (There wasn’t enough before as it was!)It may cost a bit more, but then we may be inclined to understand paying the high prices your charging and I’m betting that your sales will increase. Making up the difference.And PLEASE think about adding a peach flavor! Lol (and axing the vanilla in the variety box. We want the fruit!)But honestly, there is a line where the customer just can’t afford the constant profiteering and will just not buy them anymore. Or risk these treats going the way of Chicken, fish, steaks, roasts & even ground beef! (Beef/meat is just for rich people now!) I’m at that point now myself. When the prices go up to, and beyond, $14-15 bucks a box. (Especially when they are reducing the fruit to boot!) I just can’t buy them anymore, and will wait for a sale or price drop.I’m hoping that if enough customers let them know through reviews or not purchasing past their line, maybe they will listen to what the customer REALLY wants. So please add a review too if you agree!It’s not all on the government for high grocery prices and profiteering. It’s more on the customer to send a message by not buy the overpriced products. That’s how it’s supposed to work!Though it is easier to blame the politicians, for sure! Lol The Grocery Stores LOVE when you only do that! It’s also on us to send a message with our refusing to pay these stupid prices.
