Mario Batali products are at bargain basement prices!

I'm a big Mario Batali fan. I have been for many years. While I am very disappointed with the recent revelations that he was involved in sexual harassment at his restaurants, I still respect the man's culinary skills. Batali has lost his place in his restaurant empire, he was fired from The Chew, and he has lost all of his side businesses and marketing deals as far as I can tell. No one wants to have anything to do with him any longer and he has gone radio silent on his Twitter account. Today I found his dry pasta on "sale" at Shop Rite for 49 cents a box. (It was usually over $2) I've never seen ANY brand at that price, let alone a premium one like Mario Batali's. It was obvious that they are clearing that line out. I bought 2 boxes of spaghetti and 2 boxes of penne rigate. I also recently bought 4 of Mario's cookbooks (Babbo, Holidays, Molto Italiano, and America--Farm to Table) all for less than $6 each used on Amazon. (with free shipping) I had been wanting them for quite awhile but the prices were pretty high even for used. Now, after this scandal, the prices dropped and I made out like a bandit. Now if I could only find some of his Dansk cookware at those kinds of prices!
