What has this world come to when we can no longer afford propane and propane accessories. I want to taste the meat NOT the heat!

@jklug80: Dang it Dale, that's Fiat.

For those of us who don't buy propane, can you explain? Is this way too much? Way too little? Aren't these the sort of thing people use for their gas grills in the summer? Why is this item of any interest?

That boy ain't right.

@jklug80: Yeah man I dang ol' tell ya what...Did one of them snipe hunts last night man with them sticks and bags and Whack! Whack! man, go Woooo-loo-loo-loo! ... Talk about big mistake y'all... It's right there in that cooler.

"Why don't you just cut Bobby's head off?"

I presume they just changed what was on that display but didn't put up a new price sign yet.

Fools! If only they'd been smart enough to realize that money will have no value once the government collapses.

Now, if they had done a "2 for one First Born" sale, THAT would be something worthwhile!

@Willow01:

"Dangit, Bobby..."

@Riff-Raff: The new world currency will be snack cakes. And I'm holding all the Twinkies, my friend.

@b.k.: I propose the new currency be Christmas tinsel. I have a box full of the stuff in my closet. I'm rich!

Meg, an honest question. If the Apocalypse is coming, why would you stock up on birth control? IIRC, antibiotics can nullify birth control, and if a lot of the population dies off, don't we want to start building it up again? Otherwise we'll end up like the Mariposans, when we should be doing things like the Bringloidi.

I knew these comments would follow. Knew it! +1!

@Tim Henson Queers Me _GitEmSteveDave: and if a lot of the population dies off, don't we want to start building it up again?

No.

i guess I'm the only one here who has no idea what these tanks are supposed to cost? can someone help this city boy with no backyard?

@Dan Grossberg: You shoot them and they explode in a ball of fire.

Either that or you run small portable camping grills with them.

@mangelo: KMart probably doesn't sell 16 1/2 sized women's shoes. But I bet they sell Boggle

@BaileyNootrac: Waaaaay too much.

These cannisters are for camp stoves. The ones for grills are larger, hold about four gallons, and are refillable for less than a quarter of that.

I'm confused why $50 is not an appropriate price for two 10-pound propane cylinders.

In Omaha, they just outlawed large propane containers from apartments, so there's been a run on the small ones around town. It's hard to tell from the picture, but if these are small ones and it's from a city where they're changing the laws, it doesn't surprise me.

These usually run 2 for $5.00. Those are two packs, so the price is probably $4.99.

And these are used for little hibachis, camping stoves and lanterns, and the eponymous propane torch. We go through these things all the time at my house, for a "garden torch" that burns weeds, where we don't want to use herbicide and pulling them is impractical, like between patio stones.

Most hilarious comment I've seen.

@mangelo:

@John: These are the bigger bottles, the step between the little latern ones and the one for your grill.

@jklug80: That sign ain't right!

@jklug80, @Tim Henson Queers Me _GitEmSteveDave, @mangelo, @ScarletsWalk: Sometimes I wish I could hug the Internet.

@b.k.: I thought someone determined in a previous post that it would be soy beans.

@BaileyNootrac: Yea, it's like 10x overpriced. I imagine it was supposed to be priced at $4.99. I usually use these for camping stuff like small heaters or stoves.

@Riff-Raff: *mumbles while leaning against fence on the end next to Bill.*

@Riff-Raff:

@Dan Grossberg: Yeah, somewhere in the neighborhood of $3-5 here.

@nytmare: Those, uhh...yeah, not the cylinders you're thinking of...

@John: so... you are using a torch to kill plants.

I blame you for 'global warming'

I think you get the entire display for that price. Not a bad deal.

@freelunch:

I hope you are joking. Propane is an exceptionally clean-burning fuel, and I'm sure the environmental harm incurred in a few seconds of running a torch to kill a weed is far less than would be incurred by an equivalent use of herbicides.

Invest in gas stocks now, commodities are going up, up, up.

@Tim Henson Queers Me _GitEmSteveDave:

Think in the short term- a lot of people have sex when they're faced with an emergency/tragedy situation. People get busy after funerals when they are sad, and during hurricanes when they're scared.

Now think long term. If the zombies are chasing you, do you really want to be preggers???

Best to wait for good times (eg the end of WWII) and in the meanwhile put the planned parenthood/ob gyn on your list of places to loot.

I wouldn't want to be the guy wearing contact lenses in the event of an apocalypse. Unless you can find a steady supply of cleaning solution, you're effectively blind.

Forget about waking up in the middle of the night, putting your contact lenses in, and THEN fleeing for your life from The Horde.

@Tim Henson Queers Me _GitEmSteveDave:

You mean lighting fires in the cargo hold?

Actually $49.99 for all those canisters is not that bad a deal.

Maybe the little propane grill was supposed to go under the sigh. Shelf stocking error?

It's that whole asinine Cap & Trade thing coming to ruin your camping trip. Personally, I'd send Al Gore the bill.

@Con Seannery '09: Illegal in 1 Giz: xkcd ftw

@NumberFourtyThree: Seriously. But OMG call Consumerist!

Probably the same as mine. My kmart is bad about changing the price for the next thing that goes onto the shelf while the old stuff is still on there and vice versa. I've gotten into it with them several times over it. Need to start taking pictures and sending it to the city or their corporate because they refuse to honer the price even if its still up.

@mangelo:
I totally agree with Boomhauer

Someone moved the product before moving the sign pricing or vice versa. It would be funny if the same sort of thing hadn't been posted here dozens of times.
