Package of white truffles at my Costco on 12/23/10
Well, not Kirkland, but you get what I’m saying.
I was at my Costco (Richmond, Cali) yesterday and they had fresh white truffles for $1,799.99 per pound. No kidding. Really. Not behind any kind of glass or protected by armed guard. Out in the open in a case next to other stuff for $8.99 a pound. Not to be believed. I thought I’d seen it all.
These truffles are more valuable than the jewelry or cameras they sell.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Wow, what a pricetag! I’m surprised they don’t have any inventory controls on those treasures. Still with Costco prices they’re out of my league. But I can almost smell ’em!
Hi, Heather! I’ll bet they’ll show up next time under some kind of protection – or at least in another kind of packaging. Yeah – way too pricey for me, too.
