Costco Members Please Help Me!

kitty4me — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 01:28:21 GMT

I'm trying to locate a Salmon product that was sold in the freezer Section. I believe it was Smoked though I could be wrong here. Well I remember it being kind of sweet and came with these Parchment packets that you put the Salmon in a rolled it shut It could be baked in the Oven or put on the BBQ Grill. It was sold early in the Summer. I know I'm not crazy. Please surely I'm not the only Person who has had this Salmon? I don't eat Salmon but this was really good.

Hi Kitty, hope you are feeling well. I buy salmon at Costco and haven't seen what you are describing. Go to the store or call and ask. They are very helpful and will tell the status. There are foods that are considered seasonal. I was looking for frozen onion soup. Looked and looked and looked. Then I ran into the manager and asked. He said it was a seasonal item and would be back in the fall. Who knew??

Ask. They have a computer up at the front of the store and they can put it in and check to see if they have it or if they will have it. I buy that product all the time and if it is what I think it is I eat it on a bagel with cream cheese. They also have a salmon spread that is out of this world.

I can't help you with the name of what you are looking for.

When I was there last week they had a little cart set up and were giving out samples. I don't eat salmon but it did smell good and they were using the bag as the main lure to get people to buy it.

Are you sure it was in the freezer department? Since it is smoked I'm thinking it may be from the refrigerator section where they have the "prepared" items...

Sorry I can't help either. As others have mentioned, many of their products are seasonal. Love the frozen french onion soup, but it comes for a very short stay each year.

Not all Costco locations carry the same food items.

Sometimes, Costco sells a product for a limited time and then you never see it again. Its products can also differ by region and individual store.

@novamc1-
I'm glad you pointed that out.
When I went with my mother to Costco once we were looking for one of her favorite things that we had gotten there several weeks ago.
It was nowhere and we thought we were going crazy-did we imagine we saw it there? etc.
I notice lately Walmart has done the same thing. I know I'm not the only one wandering the isles looking for that illusive thing that we always used to find there!
Very frustrating.

Also regional. What different stores in different areas stock will vary. Or if it didn't sell well in a particular store they may not stock it again.

@faeriemoon I'm positive.. I watched her make it . She put the Salmon in this packet rolled the end up and put it in their Oven and they were right there by her in the Freezer section. I don't eat Salmon but this one was really good and kind of sweet.

This is the single most frustrating aspect for me of shopping at TJ's. Not re-stocking items that didn't sell "well enough" (but that I might love and want to buy all the time) is a basic part of their business model. I suppose it's inevitable that more stores will do it.

@henderson this was at the Costco I always go too. It is near my House.

kitty4me — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:51:02 GMT

@Moonchilde It is like I'm crazy... I get upset when stores do this and yes this has happened to me at TJ's but they told me they discontinued it. The Guy yesterday looked at me like I was crazy. Costco didn't even bother to look for me.

A key feature of Costco's business plan is to make each visit a "treasure hunt", where you'll find something new all the time and the lineup of goods is always changing. That's part of what keeps people coming back. That "adventure experience", plus the membership fee, is how the company makes most of its money.

kitty4me — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 18:14:21 GMT

Oh yes, I'm so happy I found the Product. I called this Company that it might be sold by and they do make it. It is by Morey's. It's sold at Costco and Sams Club. I also have the Item number for both Stores. I knew I wasn't crazy...

Re: Costco Members Please Help Me!

kitty4me — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 18:26:31 GMT

@bonnielu I was up there and there was a Woman and a gentleman and neither looked it up or should I say bothered to look the item up. I reallt=y thought they were rude.

Re: Costco Members Please Help Me!

kitty4me — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 18:30:08 GMT

I called Costco gave them the Item number and they do carry it in Store and it isn't Seasonal. It is called Morey's Wild Salmon and the Woman I talked to today said they sold three of them today. This Product is not Seasonal. She apologized for the rude Gentleman. Thank you all.
