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

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.  |

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.  |
