From what the other fellow was saying, sounds more like four different manufacturers.

They were all small items that are carried at all warehouses and 3 of them were Kirkland products :shrug:

My Costco (Washington) brought samples back! All items in single packages: nutella crepes, gogurt, and chocolate covered cherries. All staff in these little plastic pods. I know samples are controversial but it did make my little heart flutter.

The chocolate covered cherries are my favorite! Now if they would also bring back the wasabi covered almonds...

The dark chocolate covered pretzel thins are pure evil. Trader Joe’s wished they sold something that addicting. That bag gets demolished in like a week.

I used to enjoy the regular red ones as a step up over the Styrofoam cups or basic 0.25c packs but the vegetables were never fully hydrated/cooked all the way no matter what I tried.

Those Nongshim Blacks are dope. Both in cup and packet form. Latter is better.

Finally tried the Nongshim Tonkatsu bowl. The noodles were a bit weak and I had to toss in some extra heat, but would get again.

Maybe this is heresy but what is the worst thing you've bought at Costco?

I tried these and was so disappointed I threw most of them away rather then try to eat them.



The instead was dry and almost tasteless, the pastry outside crumbled and flaked like a stale croissant, and trying to warm them up in the microwave to soften them just made it worse. Each pie being like 400 calories was also enough for me to pass on them 100%.

On my last trip, bought a 24 pack of little hand sanitizer bottles. They have aloe in them. The aloe makes your hands sticky after using it. Sticky is the opposite of how I want to feel after sanitizing my hands. I regret this Costco purchase. Thank you for your time.

I just had the last of the zucchini spirals I bought last year. Very disappointing, I thought it was going to be enough for two per pack as an entree with sauce but each was a bit too much for one but no enough for two. Worked OK as a side dish.

Half of the Edison style LED bulbs I bought died in under a year.

We bought some seaweed snacks that I never even tried and my wife hated.

Sometimes we get things that my wife hates but I eat thru it. Few real disappointments over the years for us.

Bought the Costco mushroom chips I've been eyeing for months every time I'm at the 'co. They taste like dry ramen noodles but in mushroom shapes. I'm not really sure what I was expecting but disappointment is what I'm feeling now.

They look like mushrooms covered in sand.

My wife "likes" (I think she's just being nice) the aloe-filled hand sanitizer, so we swapped and now I have Champagne Toast in my car again. It's from Bath & Body Works, I think. It smells like neither Champagne nor Toast, and has like confetti in it, but it sanitizes without being sticky. It also smells like the inside of my nana's purse, but I'll take it.

What’s the difference between the USDA Prime and Choice beef? And what cuts are the disciples buying these days? Tenderloin, New York? Looking to buy less meat (for the dumb environment), but better quality when we do get it.

All the cheap poo poo companies started putting out is either super slimy or super liquidy. The stuff the breweries distribute smells so strongly of liquor you're guaranteed to have a bad time if you get pulled over after using it.

USDA prime is higher quality than choice. It goes prime, choice, select, utility, and water blasted beef carcass, which is what they use at Taco Bell. I just picked up a prime brisket and chuck today at church.

Prime is better marbled, and usually worth the bump in price. I like NY strips, they hit a nice middle ground for me for flavor and tenderness.

Good enough.
The other week my 'stco had some 'salted egg fish skins' snack - they're salmon skins, evidently. Picked a bag up on a whim. The first bite was strange, but from the second bite on, I've loved it. Very filling snack too.

I personally buy the NY Strip Loins, Prime. You CAN taste the difference. Choice is acceptable to me when they are out of Prime (not infrequent), I just season it more.

Only eat Prime, nothing else is worth it.
Meat is a loving awful scourge for everyone and everything involved, BUT it tastes wicked good. Only eat the best stuff, and as a treat.
We eat Prime New York strip about once a month and it's fantastic every time.

I do the same thing, I bought two packs of three Prime steaks this week, split into two each and freeze them. We have them for Sunday dinner about once a month and it's spoiled me for any other store bought steak.
