Junior Cheesecake @ Costco

Bellajay — Sun, 17 Dec 2023 17:43:07 GMT

Good morning everyone, I am new here, so I hope I am not stepping on too many toes...anyway...wanted to give a FYI I was reading Google the other day, and Costco is selling Juniors Christmas Tree Chessecake for $29,95 great price for a 48oz product. I thought Junior said it was only made for Qvc, I may have heard wrong, but sure with thier price on Qvc is markup etc. So if anyone wants a great buy, check it out. It is too much product for me, sadly I would eat too much of it. Have a great day everyone.

That would be way more that I would need too. But, if I needed cheesecake I would buy two!

@Bellajay. Don't forget, QVC includes very expensive second day air transportation in the sale price. I'm guessing many are purchased and sent as gifts to friends and relatives during the holidays, a service Costco doesn't offer.

I keep seeing this famous Costco cheesecake all over social media. I went to Costco yesterday and bought 3 of them and they're in my freezer. I've never tried Junior's and would never order one from QVC for that price. I'm anxious to see how I like this one. I have a delicious cheesecake recipe, but I couldn't resist this one. I'll bring one to my in-laws Christmas Eve and I'll have one for us Christmas Day. I'll have an extra one just in case someone needs it 😂

Wow that's a great price! I plan on going to Costco tomorrow morning and I might have to check it out!

Thanks!

I don't want 48 ounces of cheesecake, so I'm passing which I do with about 90% of Costco's food products. Curious though about the comparison. I believe I've seen Junior's elsewhere, but I wouldn't know if the recipes were identical; also do not know what deal Junior makes with the different companies they sell to.

Even taking everything in consideration, QVC isn't always the best deal. Recently they offered a Swiss Colony item ( the exact item) for over 10.00 more and this included Swiss Colony's shipping which if I'm not mistaken was 11.98. Sometimes QVC is the better deal, but you can't count on it.

That's a great price @Bellajay ! I have one in my freezer for Christmas from the Q.

I notice I can't pull up the video any longer ... when I try to pull it up, I get that "Oops we can't find that page ..."

You are right. I have seen Junior's at Shop Rite grocery stores. They were smaller size cheesecake.

I'm hoping it tastes better than the Oreo's Cookie Cheesecake ... one of the worst food products I ever received from the Q ... had to throw it out!

Something I found interesting about Junior's cheesecakes from their website and Q compared to those available at retail--the retail ones are not certified kosher but are through the Junior's website and Q.

Makes me wonder what is different about the ingredients and/or process.

Recently Q had several Junior's cheesecakes on sale for $60. At the Junior' website the cost was lower but once shipping was added the price was the same as Q's.

Kroger supermarkets sell Jrs Cheesecake too. At least in my area.

I agree about the shipping charges, @Marp and @Kachina624 ... I've always felt the "free shipping" on food items is a misnomer ... of course shipping is factored into the cost. If I'm ordering from the Q, it's mostly for the convenience of not having to go out and look for a particular item.

Walmart used to sell Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes. I haven't been in the store in 4 years so don't know if they're still there.

@Bellajay That is a good deal! Thanks for posting! I've only had a Junior's Cheesecake once. I ordered the Christmas holiday cheesecake they always offer in December. It was good...but I honestly didn't think it was worth what I paid. I'm not a big fan of graham cracker crust bottoms & I believe that's what this one had. I do think the price Costco is selling them for is much more reasonable.

@Kachina624 Your post reminded me lol, Long John Silver's was also selling slices of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. I believe they were offering plain & Oreo. I got a slice of the plain just to try. It definitely wasn't the same experience as getting one from the restaurant.

My local grocery store sells the small plain cakes and also the mini's cakes individually. Nice to pick up a mini every now and then.

You are right. I have seen Junior's at Shop Rite grocery stores. They were smaller size cheesecake. Compare that with 3 lb

At shoprite this week they have the Oreo cheesecake from Junior......it is 2 lbs at $17

or $25:50 for 3 lbs.........on the Q website it says $85 for a 3 lb Oreo cheesecake !

For $60 bucks in shipping, I could have it picked up in a armored car !
