Spend less $$ for your CORAZONAS

If you're into Corazonas, currently they're on sale at Costco online (a very FEW Costco warehouses carry them; ours doesn't). $65 for a case of 120 - blueberry or chocolate chip. Shipping is included. That comes to just under $.55 for each .9 oz mini bar vs $1.25 each on the Q. The regular size (1.8 oz) bars run $1.60 each on Q. Costco no longer carries the larger size bars, only the minis. Some local stores carry other flavors, but generally only for a short promotional time when they have a road show.

Even if you don't have a Costco membership, the upcharge for non members is only $3.25 per case. That only adds a little less than $.03 each if you're not a member.

I just looked at your title. Had to look up corazonas. I thought is was Spanish for heart. Well it was. So now your title is " Spend less $$ for your heart".

Then I went to your post, oh, its bars named Corazonas.

I had not seen them on QVC before.

They're a little less than that on Amazon. Depending on which flavor, they are just a little over $1 each. Choose "subscribe and save" and get them 15% cheaper than that.

The smaller size bars at Amazon run $.80 each, $.25 more than Costco. The larger bars run <$.87 each at Costco online - $.73 when they have a coupon.

Most people don't buy the larger size; that's why Costco stopped carrying them in the stores this past year. For the most part, we tell our patients they should only eat half of the larger bars. The small ones are much handier.

I purchase 4 to 6 cases at a time for my CDE classes, and have never found a price to compare with Costco. We try to send every one home with 5 or 6 bars.

I never knew there were 2 sizes. I just looked and the ones I get are 1.8 ounces. The white chocolate macadamia oatmeal squares were $11.46 for 12 on my last order. I eat one for breakfast. I don't think 1/2 that size would fill me up. Nice to know there are two sizes, though. Thanks.

Actually the correct Spanish word for heart is corazón, and the plural is corazónes. The name of the bars is a play with the words because the bars are good for your heart!! I eat one everyday for breakfast - helps with cholesterol!
