Purina Chew Eez at Giant Eagle

[AmyRD]

Has anyone seen Purina Chew Eez at their stores? These are the ones that are 2/$2. I have looked in 8 different GE and have found none in the last 2 weeks. Today at Market District near South Hills Village they did not even have a tag for them. I hope the are not going to stop carrying them as I have a ton of coupons for them.

Discontinued product from Purina? Last year I got over 3,000 packs of these with the q(shelves were stocked with 100+packs everytime). This year, I have only acquired around 400 packs.
Now I don't see the product nor shelf tags.
The only way Purina could sell these, is with the coupon, so they must be stopping production.

Don't know if this helps, but got 80 packs (20 4/4 coupons) 4 weeks ago for son's dog when 2/2 sale going on. They were at all G.E. stores at that time.

It could be something like a slotting fee issue ...

Purina not willing to continue to pay mucho dinero to Giant Eagle to carry the product.

Slotting fee

"A slotting fee, slotting allowance, pay-to-stay, or fixed trade spending is a fee charged to produce companies or manufacturers by supermarket distributors (retailers) in order to have their product placed on their shelves.

The fee varies greatly depending on the product, manufacturer, and market conditions.

For a new product, the initial slotting fee may be approximately $25,000 per item in a cluster of stores, but may be as high as $250,000 in high-demand markets. ..."

I've never posted on a forum before, but after reading about the chew-eez I thought I could help:) The $1 Chew-eez are now now called Purina Busy HeartyHide and they are $3.39 at GE:(
