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!
