Are these seriously a buck a cup? Local grocery sells them for 28 cents each. Am I missing something here?

IKR! I almost choked when I saw the price. I love the Cheddar Cheese flavor and Walmart sells them for 37¢ each (so $4.44/case of 12). The only aggravation is that online you can only add 3 into your basket but you can go into the store and buy every damn one they have on the shelf...no limit! My problem is I hate going into Walmart because I always wind up tossing stuff in the basket that I didn't intend to buy.

why is it overpriced?

i bought it during the beginning of pandemic and all grocery prices in Amazon shoot up. The seller took advantage of the situation.

not pictured in Maruchan product catalog anymore. Out of stock in my area. Say it isn't so

Thank you for contacting Affordable Buy. If you are asking if we have this product, yes we do. We can ship it right away.

These are $.78 at local grocery that starts with W....why are they allowed to sell for more than $2?

They dont charge $2 for them. If you take the asking price and devide by how many are in the case you get how much a piece they are. In the store that is $.78 that price is for each cup of noodles.

Great flavor!

My son and his friends love Ramen noodles. I don’t care for them from a health standpoint, but they’re all obsessed with them so I try to keep them in the house. These hot ones were a hit and we will order again once we run out.

Classic ramen, good flavor

It’s Maruchan, so you already know what you’re getting. The noodles are good, the spicy shrimp flavor is actually pretty tasty, and it’s super convenient when you need a quick meal or snack. Nothing fancy, but it’s cheap, easy, and hits the spot. I’ve bought these before and would buy them again.
