I got to the Sangbong one but I think many here go to the Yangjae one. I'm pretty sure they carry the same stuff, but maybe one is better at keeping things in stock? The Sangbong one hasn't had those kettle-style potato chips for weeks. Does anyone know if they have them at Yangjae?
I miss them.

I go to the Sangbong one too, but I find the (and I know this isn't too descriptive) one that is the hardest to get too (big Emart near it) is the best.

I was just at the YangJae one a couple of days ago. There weren't any potato chips to be found, but they did have Wheat Thins in stock again! (and CheezIts ~ if anyone cares for those). I didn't even see any yellow corn tortilla chips, but they did have the white corn ones.

Has anyone seen those HUGE bags of Ghirardelli chocolate chips on sale? They stopped selling them at YangJae months ago and they have yet to reappear... Sad

That'd be Yangjae.


To the OP... their stock can vary from store to store, just as stock at one store varies from visit to visit. The only thing I've found at Yangjae that I never saw at the other ones in Seoul was fresh cinnamon rolls. Mmmm.

My friend used to go to the Yangjae one. Now he goes to the Mokdong location (Yangpyeong stn). He's says the Mokdong location is ghetto~ lol

Do ANY of the Costcos still have Triscuits?? They had them in Daejon, but stopped carrying them a few months back. Wheat Thins just don't cut it!

When I get to Yangjae Station I get a cab and say Costco Shopping. Costco they dont seem to understand, but whenever I add the shopping they know exactly what I am talking about.

I just got back from the YangJae Costco an hour ago and they were carrying the kettle style potato chips (regular and BBQ) again. Sorry, still no Triscuits!
