Hi,

How much does an apple pie or pumpkin pie cost at Costco, and does this store sell Italian sausages or Italian-style ones made in the States or some other nation? I'm also curious about how much a 100 grams of Aussie beef costs there.

A pie is about 6-7,000. I forgot how much.

The beef will depend on the cut.

They have Italian stye sausages. I can not judge if they are authentic or not. Some are expensive enough to be authentic.

Yes, I believe the apple pies are 7000 won (well, maybe 6,990). I have only seen pumpkin pies around American Thanksgiving; they were also 7,000 I think.

Thank you.

When did you last see the apple pies and Italian sausages?

Costco has different cuts of beef at different prices. I will be there today and can post some prices later.

I saw apple pies yesterday. I saw sausages that might have been Italian (or a variety pack), but I'm not too positive on what they were (some sort of big soft sausage). I saw those yesterday as well.

I'll be there again sometime this weekend, so I'll take a look and let you know.

One simply doesn't care about the cost of an apple pie when it's available almost nowhere else!

I've been around since 2002 and never ever saw a full, traditional style apple pie until Costco last fall and so I bought it. No quibbling about price. Could have been twenty bucks for all I know. Probably was cheaper. Went straight into my cart.

here is the website. Do you still need a member's card if you want to purchase stuff there, I am not sure.

That's not the Costco website. It's the website of a service that will deliver you stuff from Costco after chalking up the price of each item a tad.

This is the website in English for Costco in Korea. I was just at the Busan Costco this afternoon and saw quite a few applie pies, with latticed tops, for sale. And, yes, you do still need to have a membership card to purchase stuff there. Here is membership information in English.

The apple pies were plentiful at the Ilsan Costco for 7,980 won. I know this because I have one, well, half of one in my apartment. I like my apple pie heated in a microwave for 45 seconds and then topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wink

I also bought: tortillas, frozen whole chicken breast, Campbells soup, cheese, bagged salad, and a couple of bulgogi (beef) pizzas for 12,500 each. Wink

While I was waiting for the pizza, I also saw a woman, at the food court, chug a Coke, then fill an entire cup with mustard. Surprised

She probably just wanted more dressing for her minced onion salad back at her table.

Brautwurst is the best thing at Costco, Bar none.

They also have large cheesecakes for about 12,000. Wink
