Not sure if many/all Costcos carry Cabot cheese but we always have blocks of cheddar, pepper jack, and Mad River Reserve which is a cheddar/parm combo.
Even though covid isn't transmitted through food samples?Quote:

I always keep my eyes open for Grillos dill pickles when I head to BJs, but never came across them.
On Monday I ran into a Market 32 (fancy price chopper) to grab Pitas, which were located next to the olive bar, which happened to be located next to a display of fancy pickles. My eye was drawn to the display, and there they were - the fabled Grillos dill pickles!
Today I opened up the often and aptly discussed container of pickles, and proceeded to spill a fall inch of pickle juice from the plastic container on the counter despite this threads discussion of the shortcomings of Grillos packaging design.
Grillos are better than described - probably my very favorite dill pickles I've ever had. So, thanks for the Grillos suggestion.
While the container has been open less than 12 hours, I've closed it 3 times and think I've figured out the lid design. It is both ingenious and comical and requires a ridiculous amount of pressure to seat its entire circumference - but once it is completely seated - it's not coming off unless you drop the container!

You can order online from the Costco and get it delivered.
Grillos also has a spicy version - even better than the regular dill IMO. Scored a couple containers of Grillos on closeout last week, a highlight of the grocery trip.Quote:

What caught my eye was the 4-way fabric looks very much like the Schoeller 3x Dry material that Mammut used to use.
Hmmmm, I need a cheap mtn biking jacket for the shoulder seasons.
Doesn't really matter - all I need to know is that it's a great cheese.Quote:

* This cheese is fucking OUTSTANDING
This also goes for wine.
Agree on the spicy Grillos. Better than the originals but have become hard to find in my area. A couple places still have the original dill spears but the spicy chips (slices) are the best.Quote:

Kinda wanted to follow up from my last post in this thread.
Noosa yogurt 12-packs are on sale this month, so I bought some last time I was in. Every one I've had has been really soupy with small chunks of yogurt swimming in the liquid. I think I must have gotten a bad batch. Anyone else have a similar experience? I usually love Noosa yogurt.
Not a big fan of the Costco hot dogs. The actual dog is ok, but their buns are vile.
we bought 2 packs. I believe that I must reward costco any time they offer a full-fat greek yogurt.Quote:

Mine are all good. What’s the date on yours? I had to dig to find a later March expire. Noosa does go bad but as long as it’s not moldy all goodQuote:
