I purchased them in the store the last ones I purchased were shipped to me and half of each sleeve were crushed

My favorite crackers, and I like buying in bulk. A huge money saver. Crackers are light and very lightly salted. They're great for a snack just like they are or add some cheese or peanut butter. A healthy snack. And They're also very good to crumble up in soups or use as a topping or breading. A staple in my home.

What I love most is their versatility—you can dress them up for parties or keep it simple for everyday snacking. The crunch is just right, and they melt in your mouth in such a satisfying way.

One of a few things where I’ve really feel like buying namebrand is a necessity for good flavor and texture. I do much prefer the smaller size tubes of crackers to avoid spoilage. These are the long tubes.

The RITZ Original Crackers, 3.43 oz., 18 pk. are a timeless snack staple. Each sleeve delivers the signature buttery flavor and light, flaky texture that makes RITZ so versatile. They are great on their own or paired with cheese, dips, or spreads. The 18-pack format is convenient for lunches, parties, or keeping fresh portions on hand. A reliable choice when you want a classic, crowd pleasing cracker.

During and after Covid the price of groceries rose and continued to rise. After the presidential election prices decreased very slightly. But companies didn’t want to give up the windfall profits they were making so they decreased the size of the products. ie: a roll of toilet paper is now 1 inch narrower. (Rude!) Ritz crackers are smaller for the same high price. Being smaller they have lost strength and stability. They crumble when you try to spread something on them. They crumble when you bite them without anything on them. They still taste great but don’t expect to use them in all the wonderful ways Ritz advertised how they were the go to for a perfect snack or appetizer for a party.

Good Value. Had a hard time locating them. Looked on the website & does say the location any more. I finally had to go ask someone to help me. That was annoying. Associate was very helpful though. Put back the location on your website!

Every time I buy another box, it shrinks. Now the sleeves are so short that you need 2 when one used to be enough.

They have changed the required labeling for GMO products and you now see a bioengineered label. I wish that Sam’s would provide alternatives.

This has nothing to do with Sam's, but it seems like Ritz no longer has good quality control. I generally eat some Ritz crackers for lunch daily and especially when buying the large boxes like this most if not all of the crackers are very bland with no salt at all. These are supposedly original crackers not low salt. I've sent Ritz some comments too. Sadly I may switch brands rather than eat dull crackes.
