@Bromfield2 I’ve never heard of that brand but I just looked it up and they sell it at my local Whole Foods. Sure it won’t be cheap but I’ll give it a try. Looks like they have some interesting varieties in addition to the Classic.
Mayonnaise is getting pricy? Maybe won’t be slathered on every sandwich/hamburger ordered? My idea of heaven!
I’m just chuckling that a bunch of people on a COLLEGE bulletin board are saying Mayonnaise is expensive
We’re spending all our $$ on tuition so need to save every cent we can! 
Don’t throw things, but I can’t stand mayo. Nothing beats Miracle Whip and the storebrand version is just fine.
@LakeWashington since I had to run to the Grocery Outlet tonight, I did a mayo survey just for you:
22 oz Cains-$1.49, 30 oz. Banquet (same looking label as Hellman’s)-$2.49, State Fair 30 oz. - $1.99, Hollywood Safflower Mayo, 24 oz. - $1.99. Now, if you want organic avocado mayo, that WILL cost you-$9.99 for 24 oz. They also had Miracle Whip-the brand name-for prices like the mayos-around $2 for 30 oz. but you hadn’t expressed interest in that.
@ChoatieMom I might have to take you off that pedestal I have you on. Okay, I’ll just make it a slightly less ornate pedestal.
There is only one reason that brand name products are so expensive - volume has stopped growing and the only way many brands can maintain quarterly profit increases is to raise prices, especially on items that people do not buy every week. Price sensitive consumers have switched to store or value brands, and mostly the price insensitive consumer remains. There are a ton of examples in other categories too. At our local Kroger, the organic cereal brands are 30% cheaper that Kellogg’s. It was the opposite a decade ago. Look at the rise of Aldi and Trader Joes, which sell almost all store brands. Even Costco promotes their Kirkland brand over name brands. All you are seeing is an erosion of branding.
Then you might be interested to learn that Aldi in Chattanooga currently has eggs for 21 cents per dozen. I’m always on the lookout for eggs under 10 cents apiece, so this is mind blowing.
Eggs are a loss leader. The stores sell them at or below cost and make you tromp to the back of the store to get them hoping you’ll buy other stuff while there. Aldi knows you’ll come for the cheap eggs and do other shopping there. But, that is sure cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen!
I don’t eat a huge amount of mayonnaise any longer but the Sir Kensington products Bromfield mentioned are great. They also have a vegan version of mayo. They are pricey but if you’re only using small quantities anyway it’s worth the expense. I like to make deviled eggs with their dijonaisse.
GOOD GOD that’s a lot of mayo. 
What can I tell you!! DH loves his mayo!!!
Those probably last in our house around four or five months.
I tease DH that mayo is a spread, not a dip, but he still doesn’t get it.
Kewpie mayonnaise recently won a taste test over Hellman’s. I really don’t consider them the same thing but I do like Kewpie for making grilled cheese sandwiches.
BTW wasn’t there a thread a couple of months ago asking for recipes that seemed to be dominated by mayo haters?
We buy a jar of mayo maybe once a year. But when we do, it’s Hellman’s. I am not that brand-conscious when I shop, but there are a few exceptions, and prepared mayonnaise is one of them.
Most of our (very limited) mayonnaise needs are met with eggs, oil, and a food processor (or whisk).
My mother was, and one of my sisters still is, a big Miracle Whip fan. I haven’t tasted it in 45 years, at least. I thought it didn’t qualify as mayonnaise because it was made without eggs, but brief research showed that it doesn’t qualify as mayonnaise because it has a bunch of corn syrup and spices in it. It does contain eggs, but probably less proportionately than mayonnaise.
Dukes is a popular mayo here in the south. Hellmann’s is as well…it’s the same company/brand as Best Foods…just a different name in this region.
You can order off walmart.com and it will come to your door. Weird that Hellmann’s is $1 cheaper (3.98 for 30oz) than BF, since they’re the same product. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=mayonnaise&typeahead=may
You have to order something like $35 of stuff to get free 2-day shipping…so I just add in other non-perishables when I order…dog/cat food (dry or can), ketchup, soup, TP, shampoo, whatever. Nice to have the stuff just show up at your door…no lugging cat food cans or dog food around.
Doschicos, what you say about product placement is interesting. You’re right. At the supermarkets in my neck of the woods Hellman’s is nearly always placed on the bottom shelf, and often there are few jars left.
Sseamom, those prices at Seattle-area stores are surprisingly low.
Someone mentioned Dukes. A few months back I ordered two jars of Dukes 32oz. from Jet.com. Man, the flavor was nothing like that which remember from when I initially discovered Dukes on a trip to the South about 10 years ago. The consistency was different, too. The Dukes company must have changed their formula.
No Sir Kensngton in my local store 
BLT sandwiches with Duke’s mayo…bliss. It’s the taste of my childhood.
All the hoity-toity grocery stores up here sell Duke’s at outrageous prices, but to me it’s worth it.
You mean there are more options in the mayo department than Best Foods??!!
I need to get out more.
