Charleston Costco has stocked new and exciting items for our pleasure ; a new organic seed starter pack, a double composter, new organic animal cracker cookies, some great frozen organic items and a few new; interesting frozen options.
Discontinued items {insert frownie face}: Carrington Farms Organic Chia Seed, -- and all items with asterisks.
Noted with a gasp was the over 5 dollar increase on Quinoa from 12.69 to a whooping 19.99
A warning about price increase to consumer demand has certainly come to fruition with such a huge price increase at Costco and online everywhere.
Fresh Organic produce showed organic blueberries and apples mid month in
February but nothing for early March shoppers. Shoppers at the start of March had apple slices and apple packs to choose from. I am again disappointed there were zero additional fresh fruit organic options this month.
The demand is there, the items sell out, I don't understand why the organic options are not here in Charleston. Other Costco locations keep a lot of organic options in the store. I am weary with disappointment with the search for fresh organic fruits at Costco.
As always the grapes, pretty berries, and bananas taunt me with their fruity-ness, but I decline them all in search for the better options. Non-organic berries, bananas, and grapes are a deal breaker and one of the worst on the Dirty Dozen. A stop at Earth Fare has become standard for organic fruit purchases after my Costco trip.
I am keeping the pressure on about the organics and needing fruit selections and you can too. On each trip to Costco, I visit the member suggestion table across from the soda fountain. You can request items, ask questions, and thank Costco for increasing the number of Organics and GMO-free options. Please remember to thank them, the NONGMO verified items and organics they carry are increasing in frozen and dry goods.
They respond to the demand of the customers, if we buy it, they will continue to sell it, if we ask for it, they will try to get it for us. -- Beth
This list is compiled by a human who may often be wrangling a precocious 7 yr old during their monthly Costco run. I am not compensated by Costco and receive nothing but OCD satisfaction by compiling and publishing this monthly list. If you seen an error or a forgotten item, let me know or snap a pic of the new item's tag and send it to me. I'll add it to the list.
