I was shopping today and yes, found eggs! But that is not the issue.
I was contemplating the ice cream aisle and saw things like the cones and bulk ice cream when to my surprise, there next to the ice cream bars, Oreo has an ice cream sandwich. I have enjoyed the Snickers ice cream bars and thought I would get this. It look like a regular Oreo but has an ice cream filling. I buy it. When I get to the car I open the package before putting it in the ice chest with other cold items. IT IS A REGULAR OREO COOKIE THAT COSTCO PUTS IN THE FREEZER! Do they honestly think the āCrisco-typeā sugar filled filling is going to melt on the shelf? What possible reason would these regular cookies be in the freezer?
I should return them and tell Costco that the reason is that they just wonāt freeze no matter how low I set the temperature.
Oreo does make a frozen dessert. The box it comes in says Oreo Sandwich. They donāt say ice cream and on their website they say itās filled with a āfrozen dairy dessertā.
Seriously, if this is your trigger itās going to get worse.
I love Costco, I just cannot afford them anymore. If Iām not buying in bulk then I have to ask myself about quality. The beef is great. They usually have A2 Milk and Eggs. But I cannot afford their beef anymore. So, weāre back to the staples.
Walmart is kicking Costco and Amazon butt in prices. i just ordered soy sauce and corn starch for 25 cents on the dollar compared to both. Itās very hit/miss.
If you have never tried them, frozen Snickers ice cream bars are the best (and perhaps only) candy bar made into an ice cream treat.
My Sisters stopped by yesterday and I offloaded packages of Oreo cookies. Yet I still have enough for a few months.
My question now is, if there IS an Oreo ice cream but workers put regular Oreos in the freezer by mistake, did they leave the frozen ones on the shelf?
I donāt hate Oreos, but I was hoping for a frozen dessert.
I have only returned 1 thing at Costco in decades and that was about 15 pineapples. They had been stored refrgerated and the insides has partially rotted. Actually I could return the actual pineapples as we had placed them in guest rooms and the guests had thrown them all out. Costco refunded half the cost since we had no product to return and I guess they figured we might have been the ones to damage the things because this was a couple days after purchase. By the way. 15 pineapples were almost free as Costco got them from Maui at the time and sold them for about $2 each. So in reality, we ācouldā have eaten the cost, just not the fruit.
I canāt imagine a Costco warehouse manager refusing a refund in your case of the Oreo product you described. You donāt even have to make a special trip, just take them in next time you go to Costco.
I think that you are taking this thread a bit too sirously. It is not a problem that I got a product which I thought was something else. I really have no reason to return it, just watch closer in the future.
What I would take back would be Twix bars if they contained two left halves instead of a left and right half.
I have avocado trees. In fact, there are over 100 varieties here. I have some trees on my farm but inherited them so I donāt know what variety they are. One variety is very creamy I hear. I did plant some Haas though.
So, I went to the Post Office today and what was sitting in boxes outside for anyone to takeā¦ one avocado left but many apple (or ice cream) bananas.
Hawaii has more than 100 varieties of bananas, including dessert bananas, cooking bananas, and wild species. The cavendish bananas commonly found on the mainland are pretty starchy.
The bananas and the avocado look just like the varieties in the Cook Islands. Down there they call the bananas ālady fingersā and we love those, not so much the large round avocados though, they have sort of a dry texture and not much flavor.
In Florida we called avocados āalligator pearsā but as a kid I didnāt care for them. I spent lots of time in the mango trees peeling mangoes with my teeth and staining my clothes while eating them.
FYI when you do have a problem with a perishable item apearantly itās better for them if you bring the item back. I had sour milk and brought back the empty carton. Agent said if I brought back the milk the can turn it in to the vendor and get credit versus eating the cost themselves.
This was my experience anyway in Santa Cruz a couple of years ago anyway.
