I hear Walmart muffins from "the bakery" are better. Haven't confirmed myself just word on the street.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

These are the reason I got fat as a kid, 20 years ago. Looking at the pics, the muffins look exactly the same as always and that's a good thing.

I always loved the apple and double chocolate ones.

Same with me. When I was a kid, I used to eat a whole one every night. Eventually started eating half then just stopped altogether. They're good but way too much.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I grew up( and out) on these things.

600 calories for a single muffin holy shit

They are huge tho. It's probably 2 servings minimum.

 

[Ultima_5]

they're so amazing

 

[NomarTyme]

I use to eat two and I want to puke. So good!

 

[Junior Mint]

So... there are people that eat these things in a single sitting?

40g of sugar lol

 

[lem0n]

I get the Chocolate Chip ones at WinCo here. Truly diabeetus in a wrapper but I don't even care.

 

[Nester99]

In university my three roomies and I lived (or were slowly killed) by these things. I saved the day by eating two double chocolate muffins and a 1/2 litre of chocolate milk one night. The following stream of brown chocolate vomite changed our lives forever, we all agreed, no more muffins, and it was time to take a hard look at our lifestyle. my accuracy while being ill needed work back then.

 

[Branduil]

Yeah, eating an entire muffin is insane, two quarters(one double chocolate, one other) is more than enough for me.

By the way, I don't know if they do this in the states now too or not, but the poppyseed muffins here also have frosted almonds put on top of them.

 

[davepoobond]

Expected the bump to say "I had a heart attack because of these"

 

[Charcoal]

I miss living near a Costco. Sam's Club just doesn't compare.

 

[Kibbles]

Sams Club had some good cinnamon crunch muffins that I would heat up but they stopped making them

 

[Linkura]

Costco bakery stuff is the shit. Their chocolate chip cookies are insanely good too.

 

[triplestation]

They're OK

Corn and blueberry are the best of them, especially with butter

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

RIP banana nut muffins. 😭

 

[brau]

I love love love love love the Kirkland brand.

Its insane that they try to give you a dozen of those muffins tho for 7 bucks. We have to share them with the neighbors or get them when we have company or they will for sure go bad. I like the chocolate ones the best.

There should be a Kirkland (Costco) appreciation thread. lol. don't get me started on their polish dogs and pizza. >_<

 

[caesar]

So the answer is yes, just don't eat a ton of food for the rest of the day!

How did you get yes from that?

Just realised this is a necro thread.

 

[GHG]

That ingredients list though...

 

[smurfx]

never had the muffins but i did have the cheese danish and it as ok.

 

[squallmx]

I miss living near a Costco. Sam's Club just doesn't compare.

truer words have never been spoken

Costco -----> Sam's Club

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Too bad I can't eat anything unhealthy like this ever again. It gets you addicted and just destroys your body.

 

[DOWN]

They're great but Target's Archer Farms Blueberry Muffins are the absolute best. That crumble on top mmm

 

[SuperOrez]

You're all shills.

Spoiler

but you're not wrong

 

[Regiruler]

Sorry for the necro but wow, even in Japan these muffins are as good as ever. I don't understand how they can taste this fresh even after being frozen then thawed.

There are costcos in Japan?

 

[Jafku]

I hear Walmart muffins from "the bakery" are better. Haven't confirmed myself just word on the street.

I too have heard of such things

 

[Tevos]

This thread was giving me deja vu and then I eventually scrolled to my response and realized the thread is 4 years old

 

[franknbeans]

I honestly don't know how people can eat an entire one of those big muffins.

I just eat the top usually and throw it away.

Cue seinfeld reference.

I could down one of these with no problem after a 6 or 7 mile jog in the summer. In fact, I might just make ones of these a cheat meal

 

[Ultryx]

So freaking amazing, but my eyes exploded when I saw the nutrition facts.

 

[marimorimo]

There are costcos in Japan?

Why yes, a number of them too. Truly miss them as I now live in a country that only has a poor copycat of Costco.

I was always tempted by the muffins but never dared buy any. They looked too humongous. I loved their cookies and pumpkin pies (during Halloween season) but they gave us acne. Worth it though.

 

[juliushandle]

Double chocolate, 10 seconds in the microwave, and drink with milk. Amazing.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

I used to eat one of the coffee cake ones every morning for breakfast. Microwave for 10 seconds and a glass of milk.

 

[Poyunch]

Microwaved chocolate chip Costco muffins were my jam as a kid. I've stopped eating them as a adult after learning that muffins were hella bad for you, especially the huge Costco ones.

 

[Fried Food]

So... there are people that eat these things in a single sitting?

40g of sugar lol

More sugar in a cup of grape juice

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Waste of a jog....

 

[Muppet of a Man]

That ingredients list though...

haha...my thoughts exactly

 

[Darryl M R]

Thanks for the thread OP these muffins sound perfect for bulking season. Should I be concerned about the ingredients used? I'm okay with the calories and macronutrients.

 

[Chris R]

How did you get yes from that?

Just realised this is a necro thread.

I just realized I was quoted from a necro thread.

You could eat one every single day, just realize that you've eaten over 30% of your daily calories, and the pure sugar count is kinda high. So if the rest of your food for the day was lean proteins and veggies you would be good.

 

[smurfx]

There are costcos in Japan?

korea too and they are some of the busiest costcos.

 

[The Real Abed]

But National Muffin Day isn't until tomorrow.

 

[DOWN]

I hear Walmart muffins from "the bakery" are better. Haven't confirmed myself just word on the street.

They are. They're a ripoff of Target Archer Farms muffins which are the best.

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

I love Costco muffins, but I have to eat healthy from now on.

 

[Orkidea]

What isn't good at Costco?

 

[franknbeans]

Waste of a jog....

I'd have to eat back the calories one way or another, why not use a delicious muffin

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

1) I actually thought they made these at the Costco store, but there is no way they'd have that much sodium if they were made in-house. Holy Shit.

2)How the hell is 72g of carbs only 24% of Daily allowance.




Once you start reading labels, you never look at things the same. That 1 muffin would be breakfast and lunch together for me today.

You see the pizza slices? 700 calories. Price wise, it's a bargain. But use it to replace 2 meals or split it. I did that with a chicken bake and asked for a small cup for water.

 

[geomon]

I've had Costco muffins. I think BJ's Wholesale are better.

 

[Darryl M R]

They are. They're a ripoff of Target Archer Farms muffins which are the best.

Are they really better? Better than Costco's? I need to find the best muffin with a good cost.

 

[skybald]

What isn't good at Costco?

Kirkland mayonnaise is not good. But for the price I just shrug my shoulders and bear it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

do u have the nutrition facts for the hot dogs and pizza @ the Costco's cafeteria?

 

[DOWN]

Are they really better? Better than Costco's? I need to find the best muffin with a good cost.

They are definitely better, but cost more. Blueberry is amazing imo. They're very big and have a big top with awesome sugar crumble on it, but they are not cheaper than Costco.

40g of sugar lol

How about six in a single sitting?
