A Picante sauce Pole

[olevetonahill]

Ok, Gots a question. here's the deal.
2 Qts of Picante that you make yerself, dayum good stuff.
Ya buy 2 cans of maters and add a spice packet to it.
Shake it up let it sit fer an hour and ya got sompun better than Pace er anything else out there
The maters cost you less than 3 bucks.
Would be willing to buy this product?
If so how much be a fair price?

[Tulsa_Fireman]

No.

I'm sure it's great but I got real mexicans to feed.

[olevetonahill]

Remember this yields 2 qts for less than the price of a large bottle of Pace

[olevetonahill]

No.

I'm sure it's great but I got real mexicans to feed.

But this Is REAL messicans ground up ya bastage :D

[SCOUT]

I love this kind of stuff. I would pay the $5 for the package.

ya got to pay 3 bucks fer the maters so 8 bucks total fer 2 qts ;)

I understand. Pace is about $4 for a jar that is what 16 oz? Oh, and it is moderate in taste. In fact, i can't really think of any commercial brand that is that good.

I make my own but it takes a fair amount of time. Having the seasonings pre-measured and ready to go, would be a big deal.

Thats the deal. Its ready to go , just add maters and a tad of Vinegar ;)

[Fraggle145]

I can make my own from scratch... But I probably arent the target demographic then.

[Breadburner]

I would....

[yermom]

[Harry Beanbag]

No.

I'm sure it's great but I got real mexicans to feed.

Ditto.

[sooner59]

I'd give it a try just to see if I like it. Probably add some other stuff to it like onions, green chiles, etc. I'll try just about anything once.

[mgsooner]

Like I said it aint me, A friend slod the finished product in several Super wallys in Fla.
Said he average selling 25 cases a day.per store.

Not sure if we had any out here at the last Ho-down or not.But everyone whos tasted it loves it

Jim made 2 gallons and brot it to the Tech Tailgate ;)

[proud gonzo]

well, I'm not the target buyer--i have a huge cabinet full of spices and I rarely use pre-mixed spice stuff--but I think it sounds like a good deal. Honestly, it probably ought to be more than $2, though. On one hand, bargain shoppers will look at it and say, "hey, that's the cheapest one--i'll get that." but some people will look at it and say, "hey, that stuff's way cheaper; it can't possibly be any good."

also, maybe he should sell smaller packets... most people just look at total prices rather than the per ounce price.

[Oldnslo]

I'd charge a premium for it, for all the reasons PG said.

...but unfortunately for you, my son Ben makes the World's Best Salsa. Thus, while I am curious about the taste of your packet-salsa, Ben's Shores of Hell Salsa will continue to be my picante of choice.

[olevetonahill]

Heh, Caint nuthin beat what yer Kid makes ;)but for a commercial product this is dayum good stuff ;)
PG one of the biggest cost to this is the packaging , So while smaller packs may seem better, in reality its just making the end product cost more.

Thanks folks fer the feed back. Until this thread In had no idea that this was available anywhere.

[Aldebaran]

this deal is getting worse all the time :mad:

If he loves doing it....he should keep making it. If people like it....they'll keep buying it. I do think it's good to know why people like your product but sometimes these Corporations do these feedback deals like Dominoes is doing in their commercial....it doesn't take a room full of people who say they love it to convince me....all it takes is a few bites of it. Like you said...packaging is the big part of the cost....so is trying to figure out why people like something. If he's selling it and they keep buying it and he loves the business....just keep doing it.

My taste of things changes from time to time and I like trying different kinds. For instance....I wouldn't eat Pace unless it was the last thing on Earth that makes the cockroaches taste better. :D

You sure it isn't more like 25 bottles a day? 25 cases a day with 24 per case per store is maybe more than anyone in America's Brand might sell. That's like 4200 packs or bottles a week. 126,000 a month and 1.5 million a year.

That was from a little packet? It has stuff in it, like onions, peppers, etc. It was also pretty dang good, but it was a little cuminy.

Hey Crimson Jim,

There is NO cumin in the salsa that I make. I have added a touch of celantro and some habeneros; other than that, it is Vet's original recipe. Glad ya liked it, Dean.
