…Who doesn’t love the tasty and rich chocolate hazelnut spread called Nutella?
This delicious cream was created by Ferrero, who is originally from Piedmont, Italy after World War II. During that time, cacao was very rare, but this man was inspired enough to turn this into a good thing.
He developed a sweet cream that had hazelnuts as the main ingredient and he added sugar and only a tiny amount of that limited cocoa. Now there are more than 160 countries that can enjoy this tasty spread.
If you want to indulge in this delicious hazelnut chocolate spread, Costco is selling two huge jars that are 33.5 ounces for only $13.49.
1 thought on “8 Things You Can Get Cheaper at Costco”
Biggest problem at Costco is the XXXL containers. Keep in mind the item may expire or get lumpy or old before you are able to use it all. You may end up trashing half of an item which will make it much more expensive than elsewhere.
Fresh baked goods – all of them – are a great buy and clothes are extremely inexpensive and high quality: many name brands are stocked as well as the Costco brand Kirkland.
Large packages of batteries are a real great price.
I always check prices at Costco before buying at Amazon. Better buys are almost always at Costco, unless you need a smaller quantity.
Another great thing is that Costco will always return items (even food) if you don’t like it. Amazon has a 30 day return policy, most items are free shipping to return. I always make certain I am buying a “free shipping and return” item when buying from Amazon.
I often buy fresh dinner items, divide and freeze in smaller containers. I can then have a great meal by thawing and putting in the microwave.
