Not name brand, but Kroger brand canned pears are $1.69. Delmonte is $2.69. Both are under 16oz.
Is the Midwest that much cheaper?
Del Monte Sliced Bartlett Pears, Canned Fruit, 15.25 oz Can at my local Walmart here in NH: $1.98. Walmart brand, $1.48
I almost always buy Walmart brand anything as it is always less expensive and seems to me to be the same
