Do you have a Costco membership? Does your local Costco have an item called "NoSugar Keto Cups"? They are like this: https://thenosugarcompany.com/products/no-sugar-keto-cup-dark-chocolate-peanut-butter but your Costco will likely have them packaged like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/cTlGbWu

Mine doesn't (gently caress my backwater Costco) and I am looking for someone to purchase a few of these and have them shipped to me. They are available at Costco for $14.99, but elsewhere online for $34.99. That's an insane $20 markup. I'd like you to pick up several boxes and mail them to me and I will pay you for your time. I'd easily slide you a $20 + pay for shipping if you'll grab me at least 5 boxes. Let me know if your Costco has them and what you are looking for to buy them and ship them too me. Depending on the size of the item, you may be able to just stick them in a priority-flat rate box and be done with it. I just don't know how large the box is.

Post this in the Costco thread in GBS with an item number and someone should be able to do a IAI lookup in the as400 for stock.
I would but never renewed my as400 access years ago (employee)

Edit: I think it was IAI. Been awhile since I did lookups

I'll try this and didn't know this was a thing, but I don't have an item number. It's not available on the website. If it was i'd just order them from the website. The images I have don't have an item number shown.

Someone in the Costco thread was able to tell me they are only sold on the west coast at the moment. Makes sense, as the poster of the pics was in Folsom, CA.

So, still looking for someone to try and find these but I wouldn't bother looking unless you are on the west coast.

Increasing the offer to $25 + shipping if you'll snag me at least 7-8 bags of these. These are only available in a single area on the west coast unfortunately. I'm not the only one interested in these. Some people in the Costco thread that was recommended are also looking.

I can help you out with this, but I am worried about them melting during shipping. They are showing at $18.29 on costco Instacart, if Costco isnt slammed this weekend I can and stop in and see if they are $15.

Melting during shipping was my concern too, especially from CA to NC. If you can grab a bunch, i'll slide you enough money to cover 2-day Priority Mail shipping and if you can easily find some of those disposable ice packs, those as well. So $25 + 2-day USPS Priority Mail + some ice packs if you can find them. Otherwise, if your freezer is big enough, you could try freezing before sending. If this is too much, I get it and don't sweat it. I appreciate you looking.

The one thing I would ask you to check is the expiration date. I'm not gonna pig out on these, just want enough to last for awhile. So if the expiration date is, for whatever reason, by the end of this year, just scrap the whole idea. I think these are made with almond butter and almond butter tends to have a lower shelf life, so while I don't expect the expiration date to be before the end of the year, who knows. I expect they have an expiration date of around May of next year.

Why am I willing to spend so much? On the company website, these are $34.99 compared to $14.99. That's a $20 markup for each box. If I get, like, 10 boxes, I'm spending an extra $200 vs $25 to you, $10 for ice packs and $25 for shipping. You are still helping me save money. Plus, these are 20x Peanut Butter and 10x Brownie vs just 30x Peanut Butter or 30x Brownie.

If it works out I can do another larger shipment in a week or two.

Awesome! Let me know what I owe you and i'll send money via Paypal. Not sure what it all worked out to with tax, shipping and the bonus from snagging them from me. I'll send payment tonight or super early tomorrow so you can send out tomorrow. Just let me know what it all adds up to.

All good! Objective accomplished. I should have enough of these to last for many months now. Hopefully they make their way to my local Costco, but we'll see what happens.

Just posting to say that I've eaten almond butter (those little Justin's ones) packets more than a year expired and they still tasted perfectly fine and they had the correct consistency. Order enough for five years

Just want to say, I was just at Costco earlier and I saw these. I don’t follow a Keto diet at all, but I almost bought a box because of this thread. Thanks.
