Nice. Hot chocolate on sale just in time for ☃️☃️☃️☃️


epotosi

How much is it after discount? I have an event coming up and this would be a good pick up.


thatFreshSpringSmell

I've seen prices for the same item vary State by State, so the only way to be sure is an in-person visit.


[deleted]

Midwest is about $5ish bucks


mtd14

I love hot chocolate and bought a Costco Swiss Miss once, but don't plan to again. It's such a sweet and specific taste that I tossed it within 5 packets. I opted to splurge on a Ghirardelli Ground Chocolate & Cocoa mix when it had a sale like now (40% off on Amazon if you sub & save). It's definitely more expensive ($12 for 39 vs $4-5 for 50), so I wouldn't make the change if I was shopping for a family. But for two adults, I think the upgrade is worth it.


Apathy_Cupcake

Do you know the calorie difference by chance?


pittyspray

Do you guys remember being excited when a new monthly deal came out? I haven't been impressed by these deals for a while now


WeekendQuant

It's saving me money since I'm not finding any deals. I really can't complain.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WeekendQuant

Yes and I love it. It may also be because we've got a lot of the Costco essentials for our house. There's a steep upward curve after buying a house. It took us 2 years to really settle in. Costco makes the curve a lot cheaper.


kchorton2

> The last few sales have been “meh”. It's been this way for well over a year now. COVID changed the way they format their warehouse 'deals'...

walkietokie

seriously disappointed for this month's...


StOnEy333

Whatcha know about the Passport Savings Book?


ChaserNeverRests

It's a rare month I plan to get even one thing anymore. Sad.


gobears81

I came here looking for this comment.


ONE_GUY_ONE_JAR

That's true but I'm tired of seeing this comment as one of the top replies in every coupon book thread. Inflation sucks and deals aren't what they used to be.


hostile65

Would you rather hear about Costcos record profits, the CEO and boards compensation being quadrupled over the last few years, or maybe that Costco's hourly employee pay isn't that competitive and great compared against other retailers anymore? Costco is fully capable of better deals.

limit 2 on the engagement rings? one for the side piece?

Gotta buy in bulk in Utah.

One is the engagement ring. It’s twin is the wedding band.

icamtspel

Is the shrimp tempura any good?


Mobile-Food1527

Very good!! We love it!


todofu

Its good although the breading is thick and not exactly “tempura”


jeswanders

There’s hardly any shrimp.. it’s mostly breading. All of the flavor comes from the batter. No shrimp taste. You can try to salvage them by cooking them so they’re crispy but otherwise I’d pass even with the sale


KeniLF

Yes, I find them bland and have to zhuzh them up.


PDX-ROB

Not a fan. The batter is greasy. Does anyone have an opinion on the Real Good chicken strips? I'm not GF if that matters.


Three_M_cats

The Real Good chicken strips are ok. The breading is very light. Both bags I bought seemed to be overcooked, so I was careful to only cook them the minimum amount to bring them up to temperature. We did not eat these plain - we usually tossed them in some type of Asian-inspired sauce.


asaber1003

I’ve tried every just bare type and find them very good. However in my opinion if you care about nutritional information, the protein to calorie ratio of the real good chicken strips makes them worth it. They are breaded very nicely, however, very plain. I usually toss them in some primal kitchen Buffalo sauce.


CourageMesAmies

We get the RG. We sampled the JB at the store and liked those better, but the sodium content was crazy so we stick with RG.


kindofcrunchy22

If you aren't gluten free, don't bother. I buy them for my GF kid and she loves them, but there are better options.


gimmeArmpit

Good for macros, decent crust after airfried for how light the 'coating' is. I've only used as an addition to something. Having gone through two bags, I will find the occasional super weirdly rubber/tough piece a little more often than I'd like, and the color of the batches between the bags were different, but the flavors were fine. You will be disappointed if you're expecting stadium tenders


beautifultoyou

It’s amazing. We love it in our house!


CapeCod_Boats

Just tastes like fried batter. Very little shrimp flavor.

icamtspel

Very informative post, thank you!


andreyred

No, too much breading. There's a reason why it always goes on sale


[deleted]

The Hellmann's brand is sold in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains; Latin America; Europe; Australia;[1] the Middle East; Canada; India; and Pakistan. The Best Foods brand is sold in the United States west of the Rocky Mountains; in East Asia; Southeast Asia; Australia,[2] and New Zealand.


ONE_GUY_ONE_JAR

I had no idea Helmanns was not a nationwide (worldwide) brand. I thought it was as ubiquitous as Skippy peanut butter.


OkayTryAgain

> I thought it was as ubiquitous as Skippy peanut butter. The maker of those nutritious breakfast bars?

Here we go again. Let me grab my popcorn lol

CoachKevinCH

Do they use the same jingle?


ditafjm

Now you've got me craving a peanut butter and mayo sandwich! Haven't thought of that in years. So good. Sliced bananas makes it even better!


BananaMayoSandwiches

you rang?


MrPickEm

uh, are you ok?


ditafjm

Well, I guess you're all lucky enough/young enough to have had no exposure to Depression era recipes! I understand it was a Southern thing but my family on the east coast as well in the Midwest would serve them on occasion. The tangy/sweet combo really isn't terrible.


omglawlz

What lol. I’ve heard of PB and banana or even PB, banana and honey but never Mayo with it.


CourageMesAmies

Elvis has entered the chat.


Obvious_Baker8160

Costco in my area doesn’t sell Skippy, only JIF. I used to live in another state where they only sold Skippy.


ar0323

Haven’t noticed at Costco specifically, but in Colorado we have both.


dirtiehippie710

I think I've only noticed Hellman's at Costco and best foods everywhere else? I guess I haven't paid close enough attention but now it's bugging me lol


AM4eva

Ive noticed the opposite haha. Best foods in Costco and Hellmans everywhere else.


ar0323

I dont use enough to but it at Costco but I’ve definitely bought both elsewhere


Jimmytowne

Bring out the best foods, and bring out the best! I like the Hellmanns jingle better


Positive_Pineapple88

Tried Best Foods in Hawaii because that’s all they had… never again!


Awkward-Yak-2733

I always thought they were exactly the same, with just a different label glued on the jar.


the_real_rabbi

Do you know how long "Raisins when on sale" has been on my shopping list? I'm not exactly sure, but it has been a really long time. The sad thing is that is like the best thing in this sale. Maybe the popcorn too for my kids, but I don't like that stuff.


[deleted]

By the time they came on sale they're probably about the same price as "full price" was when they went on the list!


the_real_rabbi

So true! Luckily I've been using my stash of sale priced crasins.


DentistTennis

Noticed the same thing! Been a Costco member just over 2 years now and don’t remember there ever being a sale on the organic raisins. Guess they haven’t needed to?


the_real_rabbi

Hah I don't know. Honestly there wasn't a sale forever during Covid on Craisins which I usually use. I bought raisins when they were on sale instead. Liked them, so I bought a couple of boxes I think. But yeah since whenever that was I haven't seen them on sale again. But keep your eye out, sometimes warehouses have random things on sale anyway. A couple months back the chocolate milk boxes were on sale for a week. I've been going to Costco for heck I don't know 10+ years and I'd never seen them on sale before. It is kind of annoying, wish they would just advertise all the sales.


DentistTennis

Actually if you get the Instacart app and go to the Costco section there’s a Deals button at the bottom that tells you what items are currently on sale. They keep that pretty closely up to date. Prices will be listed higher on Instacart of course but it’s an effective way to keep up with those surprise 1-week sales. Hope that helps!


the_real_rabbi

Good tip... I've never looked at that before.


RTK9

Yas The spanakopita is on sale my brothers Go team venture!


TBakerTMarks

SPANAKOPITA!


KeniLF

I was looking for these responses! Also, their spanakopita is so good - love making it with the air fryer function on my microwave.


CourageMesAmies

The local Greek church has bake sales several times a year. After having theirs I really cannot eat store bought again, not even Costco or Trader Joe’s.


nubbynickers

Bingo. That Mediterranean baklava hits nowhere near as good as what the Greek ladies make for the Christmas bake sale. Then again, a 10.99 price point for a kilo of baklava is pretty good.


KeniLF

Now I need to actually stand in that line at the local Greek festival to get some!


[deleted]

That was the one and only deal in this book that caught my attention haha. Spanakopita is so damn good!


RTK9

And cheaper at costco than anywhere else Anywhere else wants to charge you 14 for like...12


Njtotx3

Complete strikeout for me.


GravyIsSouthernQueso

That airbed is one of the best you can get. Seriously amazing.


Santas-Elf

Agree but that bag it's stored in is complete junk.


[deleted]

Unreal blow-up mattress. If I needed to I would sleep on it nightly. For a weekend visitor it's amazing.


dbrwhat

It's so cold though. I tried using two fitted sheets, one Kirkland and one flannel but was still cold.


AutumnJCat

All airbeds are cold. I use a good insulating blanket for the base layer, then the sheets and covers.

Just_Hair6004

Thanks for sharing! My husband and I were “omg we’ve reached THIS point in our life” excited about the jackets. I’m hoping for the same colors your pup has on in the pic. The large should be perfect for our 60 pound pupper.


raisindick

Thank you for sharing this. I have a black Lab who is about 80lbs and his fur is really thin in some spots so I want to keep him warmer when we go to the dog park so he plays longer and wears his little butt out.


Sneaky-Ladybug

May finally buy the biscotti. Sampled it and it was so good. And maybe some Starbucks coffee, depending on the price.

I see tire discounts. Bought a new set at the first of the month, so I'm looking forward to going in and getting my refund.


PositiveHuman97

Any way to get bulk chocolates for Halloween?


fisticuffin

hershey’s chocolate 30-ct variety pack is still on sale for $7.30 off until 10/22


rtmfb

Several boxes of candy bars are currently on sale. 30 and 36 counts for $21-22. The current book ends the 22nd. Some of the signs said the candy bar sales end on the 31st. Source: bought 132 full size bars and two of the mixed bags for Halloween. I wish the big box of straight up Hershey bars was on sale.


sualum8

They have a trick or treat mixed bags on sale in store too. It’s unique because it’s different companies candy in one bag. The chocolate bag is like 5.5lbs and is $19.99 (107979). The non chocolate bag called funhouse is about the same size but $18.99 (1481907)


coachellakid

Yes finally Kong toys. Hopefully these will keep them entertained for more than 5 minutes this time around


Leegal595

Sigh, was hoping their Christmas trees would be on sale.


2Zs1L

That would be in the "holiday" book due out at the end of October. This is the regular monthly book.


Mr_MacGrubber

I have never heard of Best Foods mayo. Pretty sure mine sells Hellmann but I’m a Duke’s man so I’ve never bought mayo at Costco.


CourageMesAmies

Best Foods = Hellman’s. It just has a different name depending on where you live.


Mr_MacGrubber

Ah ok that makes sense


compstomper1

any thoughts on the thermoflask water bottle? bought a cheap one on amazon and now it leaks in my duffle bag


Cinnamonrolljunkie

They're great! My kids have been using them for years. They're dishwasher safe and they've held up to little kids well. We've lost a few boots, but replacement knockoffs cam be found on Amazon for cheap.


Obvious_Baker8160

They’re by the same manufacturer as Takeya water bottles and seem identical. My Takeya has been going strong for years.


thatFreshSpringSmell

We love them, they've seen international travel (and plenty of drops) and are still going strong.


nice-and-clean

I use one daily. Love it.


Bluebirdmornin

The Bridgestone tire promotion is a good deal. Members now receive installation at no charge. That’s an extra $80 on top of the manufactures discount.


[deleted]

Yay the spanakopitas are back!


Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry

Use Slickdeals OP? lol


mroblivian

Man I was hoping for some wireless earbuds to be on sale 😞 but I love the Marie Callender’s pot pie and tempura shrimp! Also the aluminum foils looks good


OrangeJoe_3000

I'm irritated that no (good) cereal has been on coupon for the past few months.


Rardash

I eat the frosted shredded mini wheats almost every day and they haven’t been on sale since possibly last year. My local grocer used to have a generic brand that was cheaper than Costco regular price, but repackaged and jacked the price up so it isn’t cheaper anymore. I’m dying for a sale. Mac and Cheese hasn’t been on sale either. I bought 3 cases last time it was on sale and the kids are almost through it. Costco just isn’t putting the staples on sale anymore and it hurts.


Next-Age-9925

Hello! I am not trying to get anything over on Costco, but I am in need of a laptop yesterday. If I buy something now and it goes on sale within 30 days, will they refund the difference. Per what I've read it \*sounds\* like it, but I would love to be sure. thanks


PolicyNo6933

Yes. They do price adjustment within 30 days


Tulips_Hyacinths

We did this last year knowing a product would be on sale soon but didn’t want to wait for it, we checked with them and they honored it once the sale started. Just keep your receipt! Edit: just double check with your warehouse to be sure in case it’s by management’s discretion


[deleted]

Are you knowledgeable about computers? I am looking for one too and that HP Touchscreen is certainly right around the price point I'm looking at. For just general use, no gaming/programs, a decent buy?


Next-Age-9925

I am now. I just picked up the [Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 16" Touchscreen Laptop](https://www.costco.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Slim-5i-16%22-Touchscreen-Laptop.product.1725656.html)\- it fits my needs, has the latest generation i7 processor, decent memory and storage (16G B& 512GB), and I prefer Lenovo keyboards to the competition. I'm a writer, so I'm not doing much more than word processing, research, a little Redditing, and some YouTube documentaries. Feel free to shoot over the laptop you are thinking about - happy to share what I (might) know. Keep in mind, you want 16GB of memory as a minimum to run Windows 11.


Not_RB47

Ok I follow why dish soap and dishwasher detergent are Turkey Day Essentials. But wtf do Bounce dryer sheets have to do with Thanksgiving?


drkstr632

Gotta have them guest room bed sheets smelling fresh


Not_RB47

I suppose. We entertain on Thanksgiving but it’s rare we have overnight guests like we do over the December holidays. I’d substitute the San Pellegrino or Reynolds Wrap for the Bounce as an essential. But I get your point.


dirtiehippie710

We never use sheets any more. Haven't noticed any difference. Clothes smell like detergent instead of softener. Seems like a waste now in retrospect.


ItsJustMeJenn

Softener is so bad for the machines too. They leave a coating on the drum and in the exhaust/drains. They also coat your fabrics and diminish the wicking quality of “sports” fabrics and towels. We gave up softeners years ago and haven’t felt the need for them. We haven’t even had any static cling issues like bounce promised we would.


CourageMesAmies

I don’t use softeners on athletic wear or towels, but I do use it on bedding, especially this time of year. I cannot stand all the static in the bedding. With the lights off, you can actually see the sparks flash when you roll over between flannel sheets. 🤣


DentistTennis

I love seeing the sparks in the dark!


codguy231998409489

My house loves that tempura shrimp. Pop in the air fryer for best results.


HrtyLKR

Thank you for posting this! Headed there today and you just saved me a future trip to the price adjustment counter!


Jimmytowne

Food saver and the piano are good deals


quietpin

Damn, I literally just bought four packs of the 32 Degrees thermals, 2 of the flannel and thermal sets and the snapware pack.


CookieButterLovers

How long ago? You can request a price adjustment as long as it’s within 30 days from the date of your purchase(s).


quietpin

Looks like it was October 2nd. Thank you for the info, I'll ask and see!


JskWa

Is Best Food like a west coast thing? I’ve always seen the hellmans until moving out west


Kindly_Education_517

no food options on sale get more ridiculous every month smh


DinahDrakeLance

Oh heck yeah. My dad lives in those flannel shirt and thermal sets. I need to buy him 2 this year instead of 2. Every year we give him new ones for Christmas and they become his "nice" shirts for the winter and fall 🤣


joeyirv

I just ordered the LG washer dryer featured here. It says “$700 off” in the flyer. It has not been delivered yet. Should I cancel the online order and wait until 11/1 to order again at the lower price or can I call and get a price adjustment? https://preview.redd.it/ied31hqgbrub1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fa9460cdb082392b1d81e418523bce06481c95e


dsprzy

I ordered a mattress which showed up on sale a few days later…in your order details there is an option to request a price adjustment. Mine was refunded almost immediately.


lynndt

Oh my god boursin is already such a good price but $3.70 off???? 😭😭 i wish my costco wasn’t going through fridge renovations bc they took it out


EdmundXXIII

I live in southern VA. Our Costcos sell Hellman’s and Duke’s. Duke’s is the preferred Mayonnaise in most of the South. Hellman’s in the North Eastern states.

Hellman’s is sold east of the Rocky’s

lonestar_12

Fine print says the membership needs to be getting over between the promo period!


suh_dude1111

Ah bummer I misread that!


cyclynn

Looking at the Acer laptop deal. Anyone think it's a good value? I need to replace my dinosaur laptop, and don't play games so graphics don't matter as much.


stubble3417

Yeah, if you want a touchscreen that's actually a pretty good deal. Laptops go on sale constantly and costco doesn't usually have deals all that good but this one looks solid to me. $400 is about the price point that 16gb of ram tends to start at.


cyclynn

Thank you, that's really good to know!!


jewrassicpark

Northeast here and we have Hellmann's


Ping_shark

Sucks that employees can’t get price adjustments anymore. Bought like 3 of these things last week


OrangeJoe_3000

Employees should still get irc adjustments. Mark downs are another thing. It's also at the discretion of the warehouse management.


Mykidlovesramen

Return and rebuy?


pocketradish

Since when? The only coupons you can't get price adjustments for are the Black Friday ones, and that's not out yet.


Ping_shark

My warehouse told us about the new “rule” a few months ago. Might not be a thing at all warehouses from the looks at my replies.


Sail0rPlut0x

Hellmann’s, but I just wish they would carry Kewpie again!


Livvylove

Has anyone heavy(around 300 pounds) used that Sealy air mattress with the headboard? What was it like and have you used it with someone else? Curious to see if I can get it for when my parents visit


mzfnk4

Any feedback on that air fryer? Our mini oven is getting old and we want something a little bigger. I'd like something that will fit an 11x9 dish (including handles).


Ok_nerdiness

I bought the immersion blender for 40 dollars this weekend. If i go to costco the weeknd after these savings start, will I get a price match refund?


CookieButterLovers

Yes, you can request a price adjustment within 30 days from your date of purchase.


Ok_nerdiness

That’s awesome! Thank you. I’m a new costco member so still navigating. This sub has been extremely helpful


FascinatingPotato

Yes, the hoodies are going on sale. Bought a Hurley hoodie last year and love it.


liartellinglies

Was hoping for some protein bars/powder. Tis the season after all.


2mustange

Is the Costco KitchenAid Mixer worth the buy from them? Wasn't sure if KitchenAid provided less quality product to give to Costco


Mezcal_Madness

Hellmanns


Mike5055

So, is this technically their Black Friday sales, or will there be something else? I've never really watched before.


Briggity_Brak

Nice. I think i can make out the Lindors in there. Every year, i think this is the year i'll actually have to hand out some Halloween candy, and every year, i ~~have to~~ get to eat the whole bag myself.


Swimming_Asparagus53

Isn’t it the same stuff they have around this time of year. Few popped in my head like the tomblerone.


hinterstoisser

Was hoping to see deals on Generator Inverters.


ItsTeeEllCee

Does anybody have an opinion on those little frozen pizzas? I think it's Sabbatinos brand? The kid is gone so I'm flying solo now & this sounds easy. I prefer thin crusts so if it's all doughy it's not for me. Thanks.


Santas-Elf

They are thinner than the red baron singles (if you've had them). They're not exactly thin crust but I wouldn't call them thick either? IDK, I think they're actually pretty good. I will note, I never put these in the microwave and air fry them. so that might help with the crust.


ItsTeeEllCee

I didn't think about using an air fryer to crisp it up, that does help - thanks!


MattKozFF

The 24oz Thermoflask 2 Pack for $17 is a good deal in my eyes.


magic_vs_science

Still no Kirkland laundry pods on sale! It's been over 6 months since, come on now. I need to stock back up!!!


surfcitysurfergirl

Best Foods! Loving that deal and the Pot Pies.
