No frozen potato at Costco?

[Julie Bove]

This was weird. I know I have seen both frozen fries and Tater Tots at
Costco. I don't think I have ever bought them as the bags are so big. But at
the rate that the teens are going through them, I wanted both those and
chicken strips. First, they had no crispy strips. I had purchased both at
Sam's but somebody left the rest of the bag of fries sitting out and we were
almost out of chicken.

We picked up a bag of non-crispy strips that I did not want to buy as I
figured nobody would eat them. I only did pick them up as the person
shopping with me did not want to stop at another store. But then, we could
not find the fries. I went around three times, thinking I had missed them.
Finally saw a guy stocking frozen food and asked him. He said they don't
carry them. Not that they were out. They don't carry them. Then pointed to
some sweet potato fries and said that was the closest they had. Weird.

So... I put the chicken back and went to another store. I did see fries at
the business Costco but they were sold in huge cases. We wouldn't eat that
many in a year!

Are you saying that there are no frozen french fries at Costco? I find
that hard to believe.

Come up here to Ontario - there's probably 10 different types of
frozen potatoes to choose from in every store.

10 different types? When they did have them, I'm sure there were not that
many. Probably hash browns, Tots and perhaps one or two kinds of fries.

[Roy]

Julie, I can't believe that you have so much trouble shopping for food. Every time you shop you have problems. Chaos must rule in your home. I'm sure that you are doing something wrong to always be in trouble.

"We could not find the fries" may or may not translate into "there are
no frozen french fries at Costco."

For instance:
http://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/Cascadian-Farm-Premium-Organic-Spud-Puppies%2c-1-lb-bag%2c-12-ct.product.100278906.html

But that may be too large of a quantity for ... well, you know.

Costco is a specific type of store, and doesn't carry the wide variety
of SKUs that are common in large retail supermarkets. Part of Costco's
business model is to keep the number of SKUs much lower and buy in
volume, and pass discounts along to the buyer. Well, sometimes, anyway.

Oh come on! Why wouldn't they sell them when they are so popular??? I
could go to a small rural store about 30 minutes from here and I know
they would have frozen French fries.

That could be. I saw no hummus today either although once again they have
moved everything around again and the place was packed so I didn't double
back and look again.

The business Costco is often out of things. Husband likes breakfast burritos
and they are far cheaper there than any place else. But twice when I have
gone there, they have had none. They have sometimes been out of the produce
I want as well.

And as I said... I did ask and was told they do not carry fries. I well know
what Spud Puppies are. That is not what I wanted. The teens won't eat those.
They like fries.

Those are akin to Tater Tots and that's not what I wanted. I already have
the Schwans version.

Those are what we put back. I bought the Panko nuggets and husband was the
only one who seemed to like them. Are the strips akin to those? The problem
was that they just weren't crisp. I found that by putting the oven up
another 5 degrees then watching them like a hawk and cooking them for far
longer than it said, they would get almost crispy. I had hoped they would
eat them as they are cheap.

Guess if I need to buy a large quantity again, it will be Winco or Sam's. Or
I can just get several bags of whatever they call the store brand that Fred
Meyer's sells. They did like those.

If I had thought about it, I'd have figured you could get a
huge bag of fries there. Maybe. I wouldn't count on it.
And I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't carry it.

There is a long list of items I'd be surprised they didn't
stock, that is not one of them.

She drives all over the place to cater to these "teens". I'm not saying
Costco should or even does have frozen french fries. I wouldn't know.
But she has more shopping disasters than anyone I've ever heard of.

I'm sure Doris meant 10 different brands... The little market in town
has a whole aaisle of freezers with only potatoes, more than 10 brands
and several types within each brand... I wouldn't want to guess how
many brands/types of frozen spuds at the local Super Walmart, must be
a million, may as well be with two giant aisles full. That's the one

No toaster oven but if we do get those we'll try the other method. Those are

No, you're the one who is pathetic with these NEVER ending wild
tales of mishaps, bizarre encounters, weird experiences, and just
general silliness. Have you ever stopped to think NO ONE, not one

I used to try to eat organic produce and I still sometimes do but I finally
realized that there is so much crap already in rain water that we'll be
eating crap no matter what.

One year I bought sugar free fruit rollups from them for Halloween. They
tasted fine but made your hands insanely sticky to eat them. The regular
ones don't do that. I also bought what I thought were terrible dried fruit
snacks. My bro loved them so I gave them to him. Sickly sweet things. Also
tried their brand of sugar free applesauce. It was too tart. Oh and the low
sugar cereal with added fiber. I think it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Damn!
Not good at all.

Well, looking at all the responses it looks like it *certainly was* worth
posting about.

Seriously? I generally clip back the the last attribute who I actually
quoted. I'm almost always responding to the person quoted at the top, of
course. Just like you. I'm just trying to root out the J-nation infected
prattle without annoying you silly Jombies with frequent STFUs.

But that's not true because often those excursions into Jombieland get
hijacked by actual interesting and even food related sub-threads. However if
I see a Julie attribution in the first three lines, chances are it's
stunningly boring scondary/tertiary Jombie garbage, so I just move to the
next post.

I buy frozen Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips often...they are actual chicken breast tenders,
Breaded, fried and frozen. I heat them up in my toaster oven per the directions, and
they are crisp and delicious. And the toaster oven doesn't use the power or heat up the
kitchen the way my regular oven does.

That's the kind they like, although there are store brands they like too.
The key is the "crispy" part.

They don't like nuggets.

I assure you that you didn't cook for me and I have no sons. I also don't
pan fry much. I did heat the nuggets in a pan, no oil and they got closer to
crisp but apparently I don't like nuggets either. Or Panko. I tried Panko
for something I made some years ago. Can't remember what. Didn't like the
texture too much. The nuggets were cheap which is why I bought them. Husband
will eat them. He can finish off the bag.

The good news is, there's a coupon for Tyson panko chicken nuggets
starting tomorrow.

Got me. I have never bought it. I love chicken strips made
at home, though I've never tried to make them with panko. Seems
like you'd bake those.

Never tried it. I don't know what I'd do with all that.

Though I'm sweating out what to bring to a BBQ tomorrow evening.
When I say BBQ it is in the most annoying way to Q'ers.
Nothing low or slow about it.

I turned skinless boneless chicken breasts into thin cutlets tonight,
no breading, just well seasoned and fried... was good with my stewed
zukes with rotini pasta.

Nobody asked what you think. And I choose not to be a mother to my husband,
even though that's what he seems to be looking for.

They don't sell them at any of the Costcos near me anymore either. People are eating healthier these days and a giant bag of fries is not the way to do that. People in rural areas generally eat less healthy and eat at home more often, which is why they sell them there.

The bags at Costco are not much cheaper per ounce than supermarket fries and they are annoying for two reasons. 1) they are huge and inconvenient to have in your freezer for a long time, and 2) when they stay in the freezer for a long time, ice starts to form on them, which makes them gross. Since they don't really discount them much at Costco, I'm guessing most people avoid buying them from there.

What's unhealthy about fries (without additives)?

My Costco usually has Tater Tots but not always fries. I think the business
one does have them but in a giant box.

What form of frozen potato were you looking for?

I find the frozen french fries are a kind of seasonal item at Costco
and they show up in the winter. That may have changed since they are
targeting a different crowd. My Costco now carries sweet potato
fries.

[joecool]

I just bought an 8lb bag of frozen fries last week from Costco. I live in
NJ which is hardly rural. Can't recall ever having trouble finding here.

Agree on the not discounted much comment. Ever since I spent a lot of time
in Canada I haven't been able to shake having fries frequently (they have
fries with everything). Frozen are much more convenient to throw in the air
fryer than cutting up fresh taters.

As to it not being a health food: the main concern I have is low quality
seed oils, so when I air fry fresh potatoes I only use a bit of olive oil
(temps usually low enough to avoid smoke point). Otherwise potatoes are
good potassium source and just plain starch, so plenty worse things to eat.
