Fair

Why it's Fair

The price sat at $9.99 from December 2024 until Oct 16, 2026, then went to $12.99 and every shelf price we have matches. There are no past sales and no coupons in nearly two years of record, and nothing is announced. A price that's high for it only counts as a wait if the record shows it coming back down at least twice, and this is the first jump. It could drop back, but there's nothing here to lean on, so treat it as a higher normal price. If you can hold off a bit, you might see $9.99 again, but that's a hope, not a pattern.
