$1.50 is actually an elevated price here for Oritos - if I were at the market at the other end of the city (which is a $5 cab ride from my house, rather than $2.50 to the one where I got these) that same raceme would have been about $0.50 - $0.75. And if you're buying from the roadside stands, that's about the price as well.

Normally, we just buy hands for about $1 - $1.50, but today for a lark we asked the seller the price of the raceme, and as it was what we were paying anyway, we figured "what the heck" and lugged it home.
