Anyone want to have input on things sold at Costco? I just had a meeting with one of their buyers about the granola bars.



I have taken the suggestions from this thread already and put them here as well as one sent to me by PM.

cinnamon almonds
Tim's Kettle Chips
oyquitos
Havarti cheese
Sunkist shelled pistachios
frozen lasagna
mac and cheese
Quaker Oats
Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle
Campbell's tomato soup
Soyquitos
Beef Lasagna
Tasty Bites Curry-Madras Lentils
Bombay Potatoes
Canada Dry Ginger Ale
New Castle Beer
oregano
Shilla Myunghwa whole grain mini baguettes
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Italian sausage
non-organic blueberries
miracle whip

Let me know by the end of the third week in August if there is anything else.

I've never been to Costco. Has anyone seen Miracle Whip there? If not...

Miracle Whip.

It's the one thing I miss in Korea.

Some decent sausages
a greater selection of cheese and deli meats

Good luck with it though, hopefully someone will listen.

Aussie,

I agree with you, but the Johnsonville Sausages are pretty good though.

I dont think I have seen them. I am going to the Ilsan branch this afternoon though so I will have a look and give them a go if they are in stock. Cheers.

They sell these at Homeplus and they do stomp the guts of Korean sausages

I went to 2 Costcos in the US recently and except for the Korean products not being there, it was almost exactly the same.

Costco wish list?

LOWER PRICES!

I watched as the 3lb can of Kirkland Ground Colombian coffee went from 8,000 won in 2007, all the way up to 18,000 won in 2008. Since then, it's only come down to 15,000.

This is just one example of their consistent ability to overprice. That said, if you are a careful shopper, you can avoid getting totally ripped-off.

But isn't Costco all about being a low-priced leader? I think they should call it Kostco, here...lol
