I made a Costco run today and Vanilla was under $30 a pint (barely). It was $29.94, but that is the cheapest I've seen it in a long time. It was $35 and change for a pint at Trader Joe's and the same at Walmart. I meant to check Aldi's but I'll do that tomorrow when I go to the hardware store.
It doesn't appear that the price has dropped at Sams Club yet.
This report seems to suggest that vanilla prices may not return to the prices we saw 3-4 years ago and that more low-quality vanilla may find its way to market:
Fortunately, I still have a stash of it. I'm also using less of it, since I had to cut back on items I bake with saturated fat, which is where I most used it. (I miss sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies.)
