Costco Kirkland Boxed Chocolates

Maui too?

Hawaii costcos has some of the best prices for gas on the island. When we were they in September it was .25 + a gallon cheaper than any other place of the island.

Also prices are the same everywhere, so food court and other items are very good for Hawaii. $1.50 for hot dog and beverage, you will not find anything that cheap in the islands.

Does the Costco in Maui have gas? I don't remember seeing it.

Not currently, but I recently read (I think someone posted a link on TUG) that they will be adding a gas center to the Maui Costco.

I looked for those chocolates at Costco on Friday. No luck. But I did find a 1 lb box of truffles wrapped for Valentine's day. After I give them a taste test, I may have to go back on Tuesday or Wed. and see if they are marked with a *.97. Then I'll grab a few.

Thanks for the insight about Kirkland boxed chocolates.

I do alot of my normal grocery shopping there but my husband and kids love going to Costco for the samples. My husband thinks it's a sporting event trying to visit all the sample tables with the kids (but then they want to buy everything that's sampled). I don't like going when it's busy on the weekends when most the samples are provided. . . .

You might enjoy Scoopie's Costco Rant - I think it's one of the funniest TUG posts ever!

I had forgotten how funny that was. BTW, Scoopy's brewmaster at a microbrew in LV. I wish him well.... Jim

I remember that post, and totally agree with him when you go on a Saturday. Got stuck doing the Saturday Karate run(just down the street from Costco) in the fall. Should have taken the younger one to art class at the museum.

It's much nicer going on the other karate date, Tuesday at about 6pm. Much calmer due to lack of samples.


I've got one to add to the rant, a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter(about 1yr old). They were blocking an aisle taking a bunch of pictures of the gd. I think they were going to scrapbook about baby's first Costco visit. This of course was on a Saturday.

Hahaha, that was a funny post indeed, I read it.

It reminds me of the time I slowly pulled back out of my parking spot at Costco, with my view blocked by two large vehicles on each side (van and large pickup truck), while a 70 year old grandma drove by like a rocket, and I hit her coming out of my spot. Of course it was my fault, and my insurance went up astronomically - as a result I switched to Costco car insurance.

Talking about Costco tires, yesterday I just dumped $1,321 (after the $70 coupon and sales tax free!) for changing my tires at Costco. I am still hurting!!

Jim - thanks for posting about Scoop. " I had forgotten how funny that was. BTW, Scoopy's brewmaster at a microbrew in LV. I wish him well.... Jim"

I miss his posts and wish him well.

Sue,
How were the truffles? I saw them at our Costco today and they looked pretty good. But I really don't need any more candy around the house. I have no resistance when it comes to chocolate!

They were OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them.
