Ocean Spray Craisins Dried Cranberries At Costco

Costco is a great place to buy craisins.  Craisins are like raisins, except raisins are dried grapes and craisins are dried cranberries :)  Craisins are more sour than raisins, and their taste is more complex.  Raisins are just plain sweet, while craisins are sweet and sour. I prefer the taste of craisins over raisins.

Usually craisins are much more expensive than raisins, but Costco craisins are a real bargain.  Costco craisins package is huge – 48 oz, and the price of this big package of Costco craisins is only $7.76!  When it comes to craisins, the price difference between Costco and other stores is truly dramatic – Costco craisins are about 4 times cheaper than if you’d buy them in other stores.

Costco craisins are the Ocean Spray brand.   The package has a zipper, so it’s easily resealable.   Craisins are stored in the pantry and they don’t spoil, so don’t be afraid of the large package.  Craisins are so tasty that they get eaten really quickly!
