    100% agree about the artisan/ciabatta bread and pizza. I used to buy this bread and pizza weekly. As for the olive oil, the price went up by 100%. I remember paying $9.95 then $12.95 and now it has gone up to $24.95. And I wish they would bring back the old croissant. I'd rather pay more for a quality product and pay less for unappetizing, inferior quality.

    Kirkland EVOO has an ingredient label that makes me not purchase it. The source of the processed oil is more than six countries. That raises my concerns about consistency. I prefer a single source, ideally California or Italy. When the label says “from Italian grown olives” or “traceable chain of Italian origin,” it means that the olives were grown in Italy then shipped out to other countries for processing and refining. That can make a huge impact on quality. I’ll buy my EVOO at the market in smaller quantities that are labeled with a production date. Oxidized olive oil is unhealthy and can cause inflammation.

Also, when I’m cutting meat off of the Costco chicken, I give my dog a piece of the chicken. My dog gets sick almost every time I give him the Costco chicken. If you ask me, it’s whatever brine they are using. I will just stick to the grocery stores smaller less salty chickens.

    The Kirkland brand starts out in a category of interest by partnering with national brands to package their products disguised under the Kirkland labels. For example, Starbucks roasts some coffees sold as Kirkland. After a few years, Costco wants a higher margin and they don’t want to pay for the reputable national brand anymore. So Costco takes over production and starts making the products themselves. That’s when consumers notice the drop in quality, changes in texture and odd tastes. Costco is skilled at buying high quality items and getting great prices out of national brands. However, Costco is simply not great at producing their own products in all categories. They seem to trade savings over quality when they take over from the national brands. It will be their undoing.

    Well, the switch to plastic bag from the box for their $4.99 chicken has nothing to do with environmental concerns but EVERYTHING to do with profits! The chickens are MUCH smaller now hiding in the cheap bag that one can’t judge easily. Another win for Business Consultants/MBAs. Costco saved even more $ now, don’t have to subsidize the 🐔, I stopped buying it. The downhill trend started with dropping the Polish Hot Dog, and the elimination of the Combo Pizza

    I have noticed that some of the baked goods are not nearly as good as they were a year ago. The croissants are acceptable, but the cookies for the most part are barely acceptable. The piecrust, and indeed the pie fillings are not the same. They are definitely not putting butter in their piecrust anymore, and the filling seems exceptionally bland Now it is to the point that I am reluctant to buy their pies at all. In 😮addition at the Costco close to my house, I was having a problem with the produce not being fresh and beginning to spoil within 2 to 3 days within my refrigerator. I paid $1500 for the refrigerator from Costco. So they could not claim it was my refrigeration, after I inquired about complaining to headquarters, I gave them another try and their produce is lasting longer now.

    They may be trying to cut cost in attempt to keep the prices the same but quality loss is never an option for me. For some things, I would be willing to pay a little more if the quality stays the same. One thing at Costco that really jumped up in price is their 2lb package of smoked pulled pork, which taste phenomenal but it was $10.99 a year ago, then it jumped to $12.99 and now it's $14.99. I used to buy it 2-3 times per month, but with the price jump I very seldom buy it now.

    ​@@debbiehall9396You say that about "corporations" like there's an entity that doesn't do that. It's more about people and what we accept because we leave ourselves no choices. It's a Hella shame that many people can't or won't cook for themselves and wouldn't know how to so much as grow lettuce. 100 years ago if the price was too high, you did it yourself. Now most people can't. Society has failed when it's peo literally can't feed themselves.

    Decided to try the rotisserie chicken for the first time in a few years and I totally agree that the quality/taste has gone downhill. Felt like there were added chemicals or something. Can't pinpoint it, but took me a few days to feel back to normal. Pass from now on!

    They stopped outsourcing the chickens and have their own growing facilities. It made sense that it was purely a cost saving measure, but it also makes sense that they can make changes to product without running it through outside vendors and jeep changes quiet.

Every single one of them was the exact same length, the exact same circumference and the exact same shade of green. How do they do that???? My husband grows a vegetable garden every summer and has never produced two cucumbers that are exactly the same. Needless to say, I decided to wait on our garden.

    A couple of things I've bought from Costco, I will never buy again are the Southwest chicken Taquitos or Flautas (with black bean), the Chicken & Cheese Flautas and the Gyro Slices. I just didn't like the flavor of the southwest Flautas and the Chicken and Cheese ones didn't taste like real meat. The Gyro slices had a strange flavor, unlike Greek & Lebanese restaurants. The Jack Cantina Salsa taste fresh made EVERY time. The spicy garlic wings made in the deli are phenomenal. The Padrino's tamales are good too.

    Thanks for the video. I was thinking about getting a membership but, not now. It seems to me that a lot of companies have changed the quality of their products. Even Publix has some items that don't taste the same and I know because I worked a few years for them close to my retirement. I thought I was just getting older and my taste buds had changed. Even a lot of the fast food items are terrible now ,which is great because I rarely buy anything and plan not to anymore.

    The trend for most food products is to reduce quantity (weight or volume), lower quality and raise price - all at the same time, and it is not just Costco. It is everywhere. Most troubling is losses of quality, no matter if it is because of ingredients or changing recipes. The losses are on the consumer side

  • @OTatime

    @OTatime

    27 күн бұрын

    Most kettle fried potato chips have less breakage as the potatoes are cut slightly thicker…a bit more sturdy. You can also look for a bag that is very full of “air.” The air in the bags protects the chips from being crushed in handling. Contrary to urban legends, it is not a gimmick to sell fewer chips by making the bags look full. Chips are sold by net weight, not by volume. Some chip bags are nitrogen flushed…meaning the gas in the bag is nitrogen, as it eliminates moisture and spoilage. Always check the price per ounce to get the best value.
