Could be because steel cut oats are one of the current health fads. Anything popular is going to be more expensive regardless of the cost to produce it.

And if you go back to 101, it tells you when there is a higher price, more suppliers will show up and that brings the price down.
Quaker is around $2.75/lb, Amazon brand is around $2.50/lb, Target brand is around $2.50/lb. Over $2/lb is the price the market has set because that's the price consumers are willing to pay. I don't know what else you're looking for here.

Ok. Getting people to understand Econ 101 on slickdeals is harder than I thought.

If the price is lower, there would be increased consumption unless this is one of those weird products which the demand is inelastic.

Or maybe there's a steel cut oats cartel, in which case the government needs to step in and break up.

Those would be the only two logical reasons covered by undergrad Econ classes

no reason for the new entrants to lower the price if the consumers are willing to pay the price as is tho

Go back to Econ 101, there's a certain level of demand at the current price level ( assuming it's the equilibrium price, $2.5/lb). Based on the commodity price, we assume all suppliers are making a 90% margin.

If a new entrant attracted by the fat margin enters the market with additional supply, that breaks the established equilibrium and will require a lower price point to reach a new equilibrium. While all participants make a somewhat lower margin.

thats all theoretical, how do you even know we are at supply/demand equilibrium? with a theoretical entrant on the supplier side there could be additional theoretical consumers as well. 101 is just basic formulas that hardly ever resembles the real marketplace.

Not sure if you are saying Econ 101 is garbage and it's more correct to go with whatever you say with no theoretical basis.

If it's not at equilibrium and there are more new consumers than supply, the price should keep going up. And additional supply will help slow that or reverse that.

In any case, new suppliers should enter the market. There's good money to be made and even just more options/increase in supply will benefit consumers too.

well you can take econ 101 as many times as you want, it clearly does not reflect the reality that we live in, as you alluded to yourself in the beginning, no? there's a reason there are much more advanced econ and math classes that explain the multitude of market forces at play in the real world.

"with a theoretical entrant on the supplier side there could be additional theoretical consumers as well."

Your point was correct and still based on Econ 101.

And econ 101 does say there are imbalances. In a free market, the imbalances would be corrected over time by the forces on both sides.

And one possible way to correct that is having a new supplier. Theoretically and practically, that COULD reduce the price. That's all I'm saying. Not sure what you are arguing against.

Came to see if they taste good, not an Econ lesson.

Anyone recommend based on taste-to-'health' ratio?

Hurry up and decide if you are going to buy it. I am busy here trying to calculate price elasticity and I cannot tell whether you are motivated by price here or not…. 🥴

Costco sells Bob's Red Mill 112 oz (7 lb) Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats for either $12 or $13 regular price in store (can't remember). It's not exactly the same (costco organic quick cooking steel cut vs amazon steel cut) - but costco is a slightly better deal overall
