We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we'll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?

What were the “American teas” that you did not care for, out of curiousity?

Every one I have ever tried has been weak compared to what I drink now. Even American versions of British tea are weak. Twinings is twice as strong in the UK.

I think they do this to game people who use the "rebuy" button without shopping around again. Several times I've bought a consumable and when I go back, the exact listing j bought from has doubled in price while many other listings are normal. That's why I never use the "buy again" section, and if I can afford to wait I'll find a lower or comparable price on eBay, and hope they aren't just drop shipping me from a cheaper listing that I didn't find on Amazon.

I'm glad I always check the price before I hit buy just due to inflation alone or I would have totally been burned. It hasn't occurred to me to look for tea on eBay. Back in the day when it was just an internet garage sale I wouldn't have done it, but it makes sense to look now. I think I'll go check that out.

Amazon doesn’t sell most the items. They just fulfill them. That’s why you get weird pricing. Could me multiple vendors or vendors who think you’ll just buy.
