Our Costco has 3 lbs. of these meatballs in sauce for $9.99. Quite a value, don't you think???

I bought them last week and had them for dinner tonight. I think they are good. Better than any frozen prepared meatball. The sauce is delicious.

I've bought them at my grocery store - 8 oz pkg for about $7.99 so that's a great deal.

My husband grew up with an Italian mother and grandmother and these are what he claims are closest to theirs. We love the Mama Mancini meatballs and their regular sauce. It was included in our Valentine's Dinner.

@msgb Thanks for your "review". I definitely will pick these up next time I'm at Costco. BTW, my mom and grandma were both 100% Italian, but I cannot remember their meatballs. DH says mine are the best. Who am I to disagree?

As a follow-up to my OP, -- here are my thoughts about the MMM's. You get 8 good sized meatballs in a package with enough sauce for approximately 1 lb of pasta. I was very surprised and pleased the meatballs were very good. The sauce was a tad sweet for my taste. To me it tasted like jarred sauce, but not RAO brand. RAO's is in a class by itself. If Costco had the meatballs without sauce, I'd buy it again.

My local Shop Rite carries the Turkey Gluten free meatballs in sauce and they are really good! (8 meatballs in the package)

@FlyersGirl Next time I'm at our Shop Rite I'll check if they have the beef meatball variety. The Turkey pack you showed had a weight of less than 2 lbs with 8 balls with sauce . What I got at Costco was 3 lbs and 8 meatballs with sauce.

@coffee drinker I think the beef pack that Shop Rite sells is the same size as the turkey. It was on sale last week for $5.99. Of course, they sold out and I was not able to get the beef. They did have a frozen version - one pound beef in sauce for $4.99 (regular price).

Costco deal is great!

@FlyersGirl thanks for that info. I may take a ride to SR to check if they have the meatballs. And by the way, SR is my favorite place to shop. Great prices and their personnel knows how to treat customers. If I had to gripe about one thing is they're still charging for grocery bags. I don't know how much, but I bring my own. You'd think with prices being what they are, bags would be provided free of charge.

@FlyersGirl finally made to Shop Rite today and bought the Mama Mancini meatballs. Believe they were the size package you mentioned, but the price was $4.99 -- not a sale price. I'm curious-- if possible could you tell me how many meatballs are in the pack.

Off topic -- I could not believe how expensive many items were. Only going to get worse.

@coffee drinker Hi and Happy Saturday!

The packs that I purchased come with 8 decent size meatballs. This is the refirgerated ones, not the frozen pack. I do have a frozen pack that I bought in the freezer, but I have not opened that one yet.

8 meatballs:

The frozen box, is only 16 ounces. For some reason I think I read that the frozen boxes were a market test and that the company planned to only offer the refrigerated version going forward.

Just purchased their stuffed meatballs at my local supermarket

They also had the turkey but my husband isn't a fan.

@FlyersGirl I just checked my box and it's the frozen 16 oz box. I hope they are as good as what I bought from Costco.
