Costco's Not-So-Fresh Bakery Items You've Probably Bought - The Takeout
There are some Costco bakery items that are made from-scratch on-site, while others arrive raw or frozen and par baked before being finished in-store.
A recent viral video has unveiled a surprising way for Costco shoppers to save significantly on their favorite bakery items, particularly croissants. The video, shared by content creator MiraNabulsi, demonstrates how customers can purchase frozen, unbaked croissants in bulk directly from the Costco bakery section. Traditionally, many shoppers opt for the pre-baked croissants available in smaller packages for $6.99. However, the video reveals that by requesting frozen croissants from the bakery staff, consumers can acquire a large box containing 204 unbaked croissants for $63.99. This method offers a substantial cost reduction per croissant and allows for fresh baking at home as needed. According to the video, this bulk purchasing strategy extends beyond croissants to include other popular bakery items such as baguettes, bagels, muffins, and even the highly sought-after Costco chocolate chip cookie dough. The creator highlights the convenience of having these items on hand to bake fresh, catering to cravings anytime.
