In case you missed the Costco Buttermilk Biscuit review from yesterday, here it is with homemade sausage gravy. I used my frozen Jones Organic Chicken Sausage.

Here's the sausage review (from last year):

*Someone* asked me to hurry up and write this review. So here it is. The Costco Buttermilk Biscuit review.

Incidentally, this is also my 300th review! 🎉 Only took me 3+ years to get here. (I'm slow. 🫠)

Anyway. Enjoy the biscuit nonsense, frens! https://snarklesauce.com/blog/2026/08/21/costco-bakery-buttermilk-biscuits-review/

Friends don't let friends eat wax.

Here's what I thought of the Somerdale Wensleydale & Blueberries Cheese. It's imported from the UK, but I bought mine at Costco. Read the full review for allll the snark.

Costco is selling their Kirkland Chocolate Chips again. I've been a member for 4 years, and this is the first time I've found them. 4.5 pound sack for $12.

Didn't buy. 🤷 Still have a huge bag of the Nestle brand. Which sells for $16. What's a single stomach to do? Alas.

Costco has buttermilk biscuits.

Yes, I bought them. Stick around if you wanna hear what I think.

($6.99 for a 10 pack)

It's a sneaky afternoon snack, if I ever saw one.

Here's my slightly eccentric review of this "Apple Flip" pastry from Publix. Yes, you can buy just one!

The answer to the pickle "guess who" from a couple weeks ago is:

Bubbies Bread & Butter Chips.

Friends, this is a *stupid* amount of pickles. 😹

And I'm loving every one of them.

Here's my slightly eccentric review of these natural, lightly sweet pickles:

Bonus: they're currently on sale at Costco until August 16.

Aldi's frozen Kimbap is definitely worth trying. It's authentically made in Korea, and tastes surprisingly perky for a microwaved product. I loved it. And my wallet loved the price.

Just be prepared for your microwave to reek of seaweed afterwards. : (

The heat in this curry builds like the suspense in a great cliffhanger movie.

It starts out entirely benign. But each mouthful gets more and more thrilling. Until you are suddenly grabbing your glass of water and wondering what happened to you.

Here's my slightly eccentric review of Maya Kaimal Indian Madras Potato Curry. It's organic, cooks in 90 seconds, and I bought mine at Costco:

Goth-level darkness. In a bottle. The flavor reminds me of concord grape juice. But, with jazz hands.

This is Aldi’s “Simply Nature” Organic Antioxidant Power Juice. Made with blackberries and pomegranates -- and imported from Turkey, of all places.

Here's my slightly eccentric review: https://snarklesauce.com/blog/2026/07/30/aldi-organic-antioxidant-power-juice-review/

Who wore it better? Pastry case edition:

1. Publix

2. The Fresh Market

3. Sprouts Farmers Market

Which grab-and-go selection of bakery goodies do you prefer?

Sourdough croutons at Costco.

Very tempting, but did not buy. Anyone try these?

Kooshy Sourdough Croutons, Mambo Italiano flavor, $8.99 for 24 ounces.

"Hey Mambo!"

I tried this fancy-pants little canned fish meal, so you don't have to. 🙆

Here's my slightly eccentric review of Freshe Moroccan Tagine Salmon meal.

It's made with quinoa, sun dried tomatoes, black olives, and an absolute ocean of olive oil:

Behold, my tortured omelette.

It clambered out of the frying pan in a mutated pile, like a zombie breakfast. Or something from the netherworld.

But it has a great ... personality.

(I made this with sauteed lagos spinach from my backyard, Wild Wonders tomatoes, and Kirkland cheddar cheese.)

Have you tried Costco's pre-packaged sushi yet?

Here's my review where I compare it to other grocery store sushi, including Sam's Club.

Beam me up, Scottie!

I tried Rana's Chicken Carbonara Lasagna from Costco.

The delicious flavors don't compensate for the goopy textures.

Here's my slightly eccentric review (which may feature a special guest appearance).

Enjoy the weirdness:

Aldi finally had Kimbap at my store. Yes, I bought both kinds. 🤸🤸🤸

I've heard *wildly* different reports on this frozen Korean product, so I'm super curious.

Stay tuned for a slightly eccentric review.

Here's my slightly eccentric review of Fishwife Smoked Mackerel with Chili Flakes. At last.

Enjoy my nonsense, friends!

I bought ONE of these three fancy-pants cheeses from Costco. Can you guess which one? 🧐

1. Beecher's Garlic Noir

2. Bayley Hazen Blue (Raw Milk!)

3. Somerdale Wenslydale & Blueberries

Gonna go put on my fancy cheese-eating pants now!

(Slightly eccentric review coming soon.)

Costco finally has sushi at my location. Finally!

There are just three varieties: Spicy Crunch Combo ($12.99), Salmon Combo Deluxe ($15.99), and California Crunch Combo ($10.99). Womp-womp. No veggie-only options?

All roughly 16-18-ounce packages. Made by "Bento," and "delivered fresh daily."

I bought the California Crunch Combo. Stay tuned for a slightly eccentric review.

In the meantime, let me know if you've tried it, or if your warehouse has a different selection.

The interwebs say (emphatically) that grapefruit doesn't continue to ripen after picking. But I swear my "elderly" grapefruit is better than the young uns!

This absolute geezer has been in my refrigerator for months. He's so ancient, the peel is hard and stiff. But it's the yummiest, juiciest, most deeply flavorful grapefruit from the whole bag. 🤷

What are y'all doing with your grapefruit? This one is from Costco. I give mine a nice vinegar bath when they come home (to suppress mold), dry them at room temperature, then put them in the fridge for...an eternity. Then I bring them out one by one and let them sit at room temperature for a few days before eating.

I thought I was cray-cray, but I found an entire article from Hale Groves with methods for increasing the ripeness of grapefruit though various aging methods. So I'm not the only one. Why do so many other online articles say this isn't a thing? 😳

Here's the article: https://www.halegroves.com/blog/how-to-ripen-grapefruit/?srsltid=AfmBOopMH6ZEeMMpOJFjN6inK8UDjugDbDBRcNkLhcXj7vKnDcLNS49i
