COSTCO

Photos: You'd expect there to be some subtle differences between an Alaska and Michigan Costco. But here's some stuff you might not ever find at an Michigan location that's uniquely Alaskan.

My latest trip to Costco, I saw two things that I haven't seen in a while. I think it's a pretty big deal and I'll tell you why.

We can start at Bumpy Cake and go all the way to a Michigan Cherry-Mango Salsa. Some of these can only be found in store and not on these Michigan company's websites.

Between Costco, Meijer, and Walmart, I'm logging some serious part-time hours as a cashier.

Costco calling.

It's been a buck fifty FOREVER and we know a funny story about why that is.

Don't let the name scare you. It's very good and highly addictive. Spicy, smoky, almond dip goodness. Yup, Almonds.

Policies are currently in effect at all locations.

Keep these away from the kids. And a beer or bottle of wine a day for 24 straight days might be problematic.

Mask mandate, no problem. Fitting rooms closed? Problem?
