Interesting. We only pay $9.99/pt for Jeni's here at Whole Foods, but I think it used to be 12.99. We really like it A LOT. Some of the best ice cream that I've ever had. But for me, it's not only the manufacturer, but also the flavors. Jeni's Darkest Chocolate ice cream is the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had. I don't really like Hagen Daz. I guess I could try it, it's been a while, but I didn't like it the last couple of times I tried it. It's not bad, there's just something about its texture. There are some Blue Bell flavors that I really like, but I haven't had Blue Bell in a long time.

There are two local places that make excellent ice cream (well, one is gellato), Lick (based out of Austin) and Sweet Cup (gellato) here in Houston.
Jeni's is up there with those two.

Next for me under those three would be Three Twins Ice Cream.

Then Blue Bell would come under that.
