About Costcuisine

Costcuisine is a website and online community dedicated to Costco-loving foodies like me! Costcuisine isn’t associated with Costco in any way though. Costcuisine started off as a hobby for me. I didn’t know how many people would read my posts, but I realized pretty quickly that I’m not the only person who loves both food and shopping at Costco!

I’m happy that I can help other Costco fans find the best stuff in their local warehouses. I also try to provide useful information, like cooking instructions for products (in case you threw out your package by accident like I have countless times!) and nutrition information. For me, the best part of Costcuisine is that I’ve met a ton of other Costco fans and I get to interact with them through this website and my various social media accounts.

Please check out the FAQ page for more information about Costcuisine, the Contact Costcuisine page if you’d like to get in touch with me and the Support Costcuisine page if you’d like to donate to Costcuisine or find a list of all of the places where you can follow me!

  2. I came across the Mini Lemon Bites and loved them so I went back twice to buy more only to find out they they are only seasonal, perhaps. so disappointing!
    Can you tell me if, in fact, they are seasonal and /or will Costco stock them again?
    Thanks

  3. Hi, I am trying to get feedback on Irish and Scottish Whiskey options. I know Kirkland carry their own brand, I am looking for feedback and comparisons on the Kirkland whiskey brands and other brands? I want to buy a few bottles when we are on Kauai , both Kirkland scotch and other options, can you tell me the other options, Johnnie Walker Blue?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  4. I was looking to see if Costco is still carrying the mezzaluna with ricotta and lemon and ended up on your site (really interesting and informative). I love this product, but do you know if it will be available again, because we cannot find it anymore in Quebec. Thanks in advance if you know about it and availability.

  5. Natalie…. Just WOW! What an incredible find your website is, I can’t believe how much work you’ve done putting it together for us. I was looking for nutrition info for a granola I ate at my friend’s house…. yup, the package was gone haha! Thanks to you, I was able to find the right one and subsequently read all of your other Costco granola reviews eventually winding up in the spaghetti grouping lol.

    Thanks again,
    Pam

  6. I would like to know where the shrimp are harvested. I do not want farm raised shrimp from Vietnam or farm raised period.

    • Amen Sister! Farm raised anything is not healthy due to the conditions in which they are raised. Foreign or domestic – are all about profit and getting the most for product. They are living creatures of the sea which are not meant to have 2 sq inches of living space and filthy water. Sorry, but I am about to give up eating shrimp altogether b/c wild is becoming a thing of the past.

    • I totally agree. They have farm raised salmon that look great but I will not buy any farm raised fish! Costco needs to step up the quality in that department.

    • i, too, love this ~ as a tea. i am in new york and my warehouse in nanuet has these in stock as of 12 april 2023. they replaced another brand that i found originally in my korean market. the price at costco is, of course, a fraction… there is also a passion fruit puree made by vonbee that is interesting, again as a tea. i feel your pain because so many items i have come to rely on being available just disappear! also, so many variations from warehouse/locale. i think natalie is in canada and it is frustrating not being able to find her recommendations. i have contacted the h q customer service people several times and they are helpful but i usually just hear discontinued or leave a request in the suggestion box. happy hunting and i hope it comes back to you. g.

  8. A suggestion: I have just finished scrolling through all of the items reviewed on your blog, looking at the information presented, to determine if any of them would / should be added to my “Next trip – Costco” shopping list. I’m in BC and about 5 hours from the Lethbridge, AB store.

    My suggestion would entail adding another header to your page. “What’s New”, could reflect items you’ve reviewed recently and thus facilitate viewers / followers being able to add new items to their carts. Perhaps a 30 day “active” inclusion ?

    I thoroughly enjoyed my trip through your reviews and thank you for your efforts on our behalf. A great “find” on my part.
