So it was only twice as much as you would find anywhere else instead of the 3-5 times the usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cv91915 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 This is why I don't like it when You-Know-Who goes with me to Costco. These won't be seen again until he asks me when we bought fish-flavored Sno-Cones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ETA: I just devoured a bunch of shrimp cocktail. I ate about half of the bag (about 40 or so) then I looked and saw the date ... "Best if used by 6-1-2020" ... oh well. I have a fresh roll on the ready just in case things go badly later. Yes, they were frozen since I brought it home from the store, I thawed them out yesterday in the fridge.

And even then it's unusual to breach $100. BTW, these are awful, which aligns perfectly with my prediction in the store. Edited January 10 by cv91915 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CTSoxFan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 If I get out of Costco and it is under $400 I consider myself lucky. Between the meats and household goods plus the inevitable impulse purchase or two, it just seems to add up really quickly. We have bought the bags of U-15 frozen shrimp quite a few times, they are a good size for cocktail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I'm in New Orleans I make a point to have this dish at Mr. B's Bistro. They serve it with the shrimp heads still attached (unless you ask, which I do). It's remarkably simple and worth a try (or a repeat performance). Mr. B's New Orleans Barbequed Shrimp recipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
centex Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Mr B's has a lot of good food, but there is so much in the Quarter that I prefer that is equally as good but at lower price. I know they have to cover that Royal St. rent nut somehow...but $5.75 for Abita is also absolutely insane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
