Costco launches popular Starbucks menu collab that's 34% cheaper and fans say 'they're the exact sam
CUSTOMERS have flocked to Costco to snag a new Starbucks collab that customers are raving about, saying it tastes just like they ordered it from the store.
Costco collaborated with Starbucks to bring customers a frozen version of the chain restaurant's fan-favorite product.
Costco launched boxes of Starbucks' Sous Vide Egg Bites in stores.
The frozen fair sets customers back $17.99, according to The U.S. Sun's search on Instacart.
The box packs ten bites each - the Uncured Bacon and Gruyere is the only available flavor.
Starbucks charges $5.45 for a prepared two-pack of the bites in stores.
Customers ordering 10 egg bites at Starbucks would save $9.26 with the box from Costco.
That's 34% in savings.
FANS REACT
Jubilant shoppers rushed to social media to praise the egg bites.
"Costco has frozen Starbucks Egg Bites right now," one customer wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter)

"They're literally the exact same."
Another fan joked: "Crazy that Costco started stocking frozen Starbucks Bacon Gruyere Egg Bites as a favor to me, personally."
Fans jumped on Reddit to advise consumers how to recreate the recipe successfully.
"I air fried them as recommended and the cheese on top was slightly crispy was super good," one customer said.
"I also like how you can cut in between the Egg Bites, because most of the time I only want one."
Customers looking to grab the bites will have to pay attention to their calendars - Costco announced it will shut down all stores for a day in the near future.
COSTCO CLOSED?
All Costco stores will shut for a day as the brand recognizes a national holiday.
All locations will close on November 22 to observe Thanksgiving Day.
The retailer will open all stores the following day to offer Black Friday deals.
Costco joined other major retailers, Target and Walmart, who recently announced they would shutter for the holiday.
"You don't have to wonder whether this is the last Thanksgiving you'll spend with family and friends for a while because Thanksgiving store hours are one thing we won't 'get back to' when the pandemic finally subsides," Target's CEO, Brian Cornell, said in a statement.
"Thanksgiving is such a special day during a very busy season," Walmart's US CEO, John Furner, added.
