Costco products-Kirkland soda, Hummus

I tried this cola and it's pretty good, to me it's better than PC or Life brand. It's no Coke or Pepsi but entirely drinkable. Just thought I would mention it in case anyone was hesitant to try a new product. Not sure I would like the price if it wasn't BOGO, 5.99 for a 24 flat isn't bad but it isn't "leap off the page" good either. Their hummus (Fontaine Santé) is really good too, and I have eaten a lot of good hummus between here, Montreal, New York, and Vancouver. They also had a really awesome looking salad that I plan to pick up tomorrow, one side was topped with cheese and dried cranberries, the other side was topped with apple slices and walnuts.

Have you tried "Helluva good dip? it's amazing and check out the veggie chips!
A friend brought a chicken pot pie here to the campground for our potluck and it was great!

I tried "Diva's Delightful Crisps"- it's a package with 3 flavours-cranberry,rosemary raisin, and peppy pecan. I set out a tray at a family gathering with a jar of maple butter as a spread and wow, these suckers WENT, and my extended family isn't known for their interest in health food. They're like a less hard melba toast with cranberries/raisin-almond/pecans in it, 15 calories per crisp and they are about twice the size of a saltine cracker. MMMMM. I went with maple butter because I didn't have time to go shopping for a fruit cream cheese dip, but it would have been awesome with that (something I could NOT find at Costco)

I did have a bit of a question though as I was there tonight- and a thought occurred to me- one never sees marked down items at Costco. Not here or the Moncton store, or the one I went to in BC. Presumably they have some tried and tested business plan that keeps them from overproducing perishables for the most part, but they must have SOME items that don't sell by the day before the expiry date; or damaged items; what do they do with those?

Apparantly they "hide" their sale prices:

Go to Costco and on your visit I want you to pay special attention to their signs for each item you see.
You will see many end with a 99˘ ending, some with a 79˘ ending, others 97˘ ending and so on. So how do you know which prices are the best deals or determine which are the close-outs that have vast reductions in their original prices? Easy, watch each step as I explain what each one means.
2. You are going to look for items that now have a 97˘ ending. Regular priced items usually end with a 99˘ ending but not always. However the ones with the 97˘ endings are those items that did not sell and must be cleared out. They are marked down, but unlike all other retailers, Costco doesn't want you to know that so the don't put the original prices with a slash and then the new price. You have to know the code to know it is a close-out.
3. Look to see if there is a * on the upper right side of the sign. If you see one, it means this item is not being reordered and what ever stock they have in the store will be sold and not replaced. This is a tip off that it might be a marked down item, but not always, but it does let you know that once these are gone there will be no more. I use this guide to determine if I should stock up on a discounted item, knowing that the store inventory is all they have.
4. Now you will watch for odd pricing like those that end in a 79˘ ending. I have noticed they have others now at 49˘ endings and others. These usually mean that these items have a special price on them because Costco got a special deal from the manufacturer. In other words they were a special purchase and the buyers really killed their vendors for this price.
These will be a good deal compared to other stores, but usually not the deal you will get with the Marked Down 97˘ merchandise.

PS3

For you that are thinking of buying a New Sony Playstation 3 Cosco has them on sale for 199.00

And don't go to Walmart to price match as walmart does not price match with a Warehouse
