GMM 2918: The Most Expensive Food At Costco

How much do some of Costco’s most expensive groceries actually cost? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. There is no place quite like Costco. You can pick up a world famous hot dog and soda for a buck fitty or you can take home a six person indoor sauna for 5,000 bucks. Or you can go out and do both. Whoa. Ha. But the reason that most people get themselves a Costco membership card is for the great deals on groceries in bulk. But it turns out even those groceries, can get crazy expensive. Now can we figure out which is the most expensive of the bunch? Okay, boys, go ahead and try to figure out the price of this 15.4 pound Covap Jamon Iberico Bellota ham leg, which comes with the stand and the knife. What? And then place it in the corresponding spot. I’ve seen this. On the board. At very nice restaurants. You’ve got the Iberico ham, which is a pig that has been fed only acorns it’s entire life. Right. But they love them. Like a squirrel? And then you get, now I would’ve said this thing’s a thousand dollars. When I see it in a, now I cut that a little bit. The most expensive thing we have is 650. But it is Costco. Least expensive is. Move out here a second, we got $80. 120, 150, 155, 350. I mean, it comes with the stand. And its own knife. Why does it come with its own knife? I mean, do you really need. You gotta have a really sharp knife. And I guess it needs to be long. I didn’t even do that great of a job on that. Yeah, you cut a real thick piece. You know what? ‘Cause you want to cut it real thin. Get yourself some of this, with some Manchego cheese. Put ’em together. You could probably get that at Costco, too. Link, this has gotta be. You would want to have a party? With is? I always wanna have a party. With this? Food is the most important part. And you be slicing that. And also think about all the ways you could use the stand once you finish the ham. You could put somebody’s arm in there, shave off pieces of that. Maybe put it. If you’re into that kind of thing. I mean, next time maybe just buy the ham. But there’s a hole there. I don’t know. What are you thinking, Stevie? You could put a pool noodle in there and it could be like a Sword in the Stone game for children. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the new pinata. The new pinata is just a noodle. You could, you could slice off parts of the pool noodle and feed it to the children. Yeah, you could do that if it got hungry enough. This has got to be either 350 or 650. Would they give us the most expensive thing to begin with? I don’t know. I think that the thing is, is that the reason this is so expensive is because when you get this at a restaurant, there’s a Spanish restaurant that I love to go to, and they have this exact thing. I mean, they’ll charge you what? Not maybe from Costco. $20 for this, bro. More than that. Well for that, I don’t know, maybe that’s 10 bucks or whatever. But if you get the Iberico ham as an appetizer. It’s gonna be 40 bucks or whatever, and it’s gonna just be like that much with some cheese. Whoa. And so it’s a bulk buy. They’re gonna make a whole lot of money off this. It’s not too salty either. It’s very greasy though. I just feel like we’re talking, I mean, I think we’re talking 650, but because it’s a Costco crowd and they see a leg of ham, they might think to themselves, why am I going to pay almost $700 for this thing? That might be a really tough sell. Maybe it’s 155. No, I think it’s 350. All right, well. Do we put this up there or we put the plate? Well for now you can put that, you might have to move it, but let’s just, there’s a whole crew full of people who you should be thinking of. Thank you for gently placing it. I don’t really like doing it that way though. Maybe, maybe just. Y’all that’s what we’re all having for lunch, by the way. Ham only. Rhett’s gonna be over there. Ham only lunch. Next up you have a 60 pound bucket of Sioux pure honey. Okay, that is a freaking ton of honey. I mean. Measured in pounds. This is a restaurant situation, right? Or a Pooh bear. This is a Pooh bear situation. Yeah, I mean, why would you wanna bring this amount of honey home? To the family reunion. And what? If you got a really big family. ‘Cause everybody’s dipping out of it. And they all love honey. There you go. How is it? Get you one. All right. Okay. Get you one. I get my own. Now what kind of honey is it? Does it say that? Amber. LT Amber, Lieutenant Amber Honey. That’s good honey. It is very good. It contains honey from the US, India, and Vietnam. It’s global honey. This is not all from one hive. How many bees do you think contributed to this? That’s not the question. Don’t even think about it. A bucket load of bees, man. Don’t hurt your brain, But, okay, let’s think about this. What’s the biggest thing of honey you’ve ever gotten? Jessie went a little bit wild one time. Just the one that shaped like a bear. She got one that big. That big. This big. And that’s plenty. And we use a lot of honey. I eat a spoonful every once in a while. Really? It’s good for you. But if you don’t eat it too quick, it’ll start to get hard and it won’t come out. I don’t ever let that happen. So how many of those? This whole thing’s gonna get hard. Good God, that’s a lot of honey. Is it hard? I mean, what are we gonna do with this? It’s a ham and honey lunch. It’s a ham and honey so far. Oh yeah, we could put the ham all the way down into it. We could dunk the ham into the honey. This is obviously cheaper than the ham. So one of these things was probably 20 bucks and I could put. Eight of them. More. 15 of them in there. 15 times 20 is 300. But the bulk price at least reduces by 50. That’s 150. We got it right there. We got it right there. We got it right there. I will say you have to get at least four out of six of these correct to get the prize in the end. Don’t spill it. Are you going to tell us what we have right? Or if we’re? At the end. Is it gonna be a bucket of honey because no one else wants it? What? Okay, here we go. This is a two man honey job. Three, two. Oh, my god. Pure honey. So honey is at 150, honey. How many 60 calories? Man, I’m glad I didn’t turn the whole thing over. 1,296 servings in there. So it’ll feed 1,296 people. Next you have a bottle of Acetaia Del Cristo Black Diamond Balsamic Vinegar that has been aged for 50 years. This is as old as we are, almost. More than we are. More. More, more, more, More. More. Black Diamond. That’s the hardest thing to ski. Well, I guess it’s double or triple black diamond. You can’t ski on vinegar. It’ll melt right through the snow. Well, let’s taste it as if that will give us anything. This with some olive oil. This stuff can be really expensive. Wow. The longer it ages. It gets licoricey. But what it does is it smooths it out so it doesn’t have that acidic bite to it. It makes it a little bit sweeter. It’s very sweet. It’s very aromatic. It’s like traveling outta my nose right now. But it’s actually less crazy tasting. I’m trying to decide if I like. Than a young vinegar. I think I like a younger one better. You put it with some olive oil. I bet you it’s more expensive than the honey. That would just be the way of the world. Okay, I’m not gonna disagree with you on that, but I think they’re close. Maybe this is it right here. Yeah. So we’re calling the balsamic 154. And we’re just putting it right there ’cause you know what we mean. You know us. You know who we are. We’re men of integrity. We are standing by our assertion that it’s more expensive than the honey. Now we have fresh Winter White truffles. White truffle. Yeah. It looks like a rock, man. Boy, what a smell that gives off. Oh, it’s strong smelling. Wow. Is White truffle more expensive than black truffle? I can’t remember which one is more expensive. I see black truffle more on menus, right? I don’t know. White truffle. I mean, so they’ve shaved this for us. Should we? Oh, that’s strong. Typically you want it on something like some ham? Oh yeah. Well you wanna just touch the ham? Oh. I just wiped the ham with it. Can you bring that ham back in here? Ham and truffle. Ham and truffle. And honey. you wanna bring the honey back in too? You wanna just stop this episode and just do whatever you wanna do? I’m not crazy. This is not as pungent as I thought it would be. Yeah. I mean, when you have truffle oil, that stuff is like bazaam. But this. It actually tastes more like mushroom than what I think of truffle. It’s got more of a mushroomy taste. It’s known for being expensive. I know that they got pigs digging this stuff up. The pigs that made this, find this. No, because then they would eat that and they can only eat acorns. Well, what are we gonna do now? Not gonna happen. Honey never spoils is what I was told under the round card. But it is best by 2027. I have doubts about the placement of the balsamic vinegar. The 50 year thing is really, I don’t know. I know it’s a long time, but it’s not that much. It’s not that much vinegar. But let’s leave it there for now. There’s entire stores that are dedicated to selling this stuff. Oh. 50 years. I think it’s expensive. I’m just saying, I don’t know. I mean, truffles, this is just four truffles. Two ounces worth of White truffles. Is it less than the honey? Should we move the honey? I think we move the honey to $120. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s move this down. Because the reason that people don’t get this is because who wants a bucket of honey? Who needs a bucket of honey? Even if you run a camp, you don’t need that much honey. You may know. Hopefully, if not, you should know that over on the Mythical Society we have a subseries. That’s T-T-R-P-G. What does that mean, Link? That means Table Top Role Play Game and the series is called “Roll for Mythicality.” Episode three is out now. Each one is a standalone one shot. This one’s called “Ticket to Died.” Get it? It is a magical murder mystery set aboard a moving train. So you can watch Trevor, Mikayla, Chase and Julian get deep into their roles as they play and things go off the rails. Check it out MythicalSociety.com. So much fun. Okay, these are Prince of Peace Ginseng Root slices, and they’re pretty bitter raw. So the ones you have there are blanched, which I’m told is also not great, but you can eat ’em. And then we made a tea that would be the best form. I’m going tea. Based on my buddy’s reaction, I’m gonna drink the tea. That is a. Whoa. That’s a squirrely root. Is this supposed to make you viral? I’ve dined upon a squirrely root. Are you talking about like get a lot of views or like, hey, I’m just trying to go viral. Or are you talking about not have a virus? Is this gonna make me go viral? You’re gonna get a virus? Is it antiviral? V-I-R-I-L-E. Is it virile? Virile. This is supposed to make you. Feral. This is supposed to increase your ability to make babies. I don’t know, I’m just asking what is the ginseng for? Nobody knows. Yeah. I think it’s for your immune system. It’s like ginger so it’s an immunity boost. It’s like ginger, it’s for your immunity system. Okay. No magical powers. Okay, got it. Certified 100% Wisconsin American Ginseng. I mean Wisconsin. Come on. Nothing expensive comes from Wisconsin. And that’s a good thing. Yeah, we love y’all. Everything’s affordable. We love y’all. And approachable. Milwaukee. In Wisconsin. One of the best cities in the world. You just stand there drinking a beer, watching the boats go by. There’s a river. It’s beautiful. It does say it’s for improving energy and stamina and enhancing sexual function. Stamina. Oh, hey I knew I was gonna Immune system. Go viral. Yeah, immune system is actually at the the bottom. Virile. Of the list. Virile. I know, but viral sounds funnier. Okay. This is the cheapest thing, Link. Why wouldn’t it be? I mean, it’s grown in Wisconsin. It’s not like it’s shipped from another country. They got so much room out there. They got so much room out there. They got hills. There’s more room because the land goes up and down. It’s not just flat. Wisconsin isn’t flat? If you were to pull Wisconsin flat, it would be as big as Texas. That’s not true. Wisconsin isn’t known for its mountains. Hills. Is it known for its hills? There’s rolling hills. Yes. How rolling? I call it, they call ’em Dells. Well, I don’t know. I’ve only been to Milwaukee. Well, I’ve been there. Did you take a trip to the countryside? Yeah, I took a blind woman there once, remember? I remember that. And you had to describe the landscape to her. Yeah. And I said, if you pull this taut, it’s as big as Texas. And she believed me. He did take a blind woman through Wisconsin. That is not a joke. And if it was a joke, it would be in poor taste. Well, they. It’s just a fact. I don’t know what part of it is funny. There is no part of it that’s funny. Well, I would say it was a little funny in that it’s like, huh, that’s an interesting thing to have done. Or at least to say that you did. To have given a blind woman a tour of Wisconsin. Not something I can say. But hopefully one day. Do you know what the first thing we did when we got off the plane? Went to a petting zoo. Yeah. I’m not gonna say anything. Yep. Did you? Did you? Yep. Did you? Yep. And we both. Okay. And then I started falling asleep while driving. Okay, yeah. ‘Cause I was so sleepy. Yeah, right. Okay. That feels. I was like, matter of fact, that’s why we went to the petting zoo because I was driving across Wisconsin with this. You gotta get a goat to wake you up. And she couldn’t tell I was falling asleep. Right. But you. Well, she could. Probably feel the sudden correction. Why do you keep hitting the rumble strips? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, listen, how do you feel about stopping at this petting zoo? ‘Cause I needed to drink some caffeine. Yeah. And I was like, good god, I have to stop here in the middle of nowhere. So we stopped at a petting zoo so that I could wake up and not kill this blind woman. Okay. So she wasn’t asking for a petting zoo? No, she wasn’t. What I thought. She was not asking for a petting zoo. But she enjoyed it. But it’s pretty much the best type of zoo. Were you describing the animals? No need. Okay. She was. Petting them. Yeah, exactly. I mean this one, it’s a little bit of a surprise. You asked for something earlier in the episode that you wanted with the ham. Do you remember what you asked for? Cheese. Okay, let’s bring out the final item here. You asked for a specific cheese, though. I asked for Manchego And you have Manchego. Oh, no. What? You gave me the Manchego. Are you serious? Yeah, it is a. Bring in the ham. Seven pound wheel of Don Juan Cave Aged Manchego Cheese aged for four months to be specific. And look, here’s the Balsamic too. Oh, oh, Here gets you a thin slice on the bottom there, Link. I just gotta know. You are making that look. You’re making it look really good. Oh God, this is so good. And this is what it needed. It needed the Manchego. We are living the high life here. Sometimes a man needs his Chego. In the Costco parking lot. Man, you could set up a hell of a tailgate out there. Okay. That’s good. Four months? That’s not very long. I don’t like all the cheeses. It’s from a cave. PDO. Paid on delivery. Pretty damn open? Paid delivery on? Press D O. Press DO, okay. I mean, panties don’t open. I’m not participating in this. Nope. I’m not participating. Presidents dictate often. Yeah, right. Sometimes too often. That’s heavy, dude. Four month old cheese. It’s not as expensive as the ham leg over here. No way. I am beginning to think that the stand with the ham is $650. Because. This is the last item, right? Because you see all of it. Yeah. You see. It’s got a stand and it’s a ham. It’s a ham stand. Yeah. So now what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to figure out, does the cheese go right here? Probably. $350 worth of cheese. I mean there’s no way you’d pay $350 for just. That’s a lot of cheese. It’s a little goblet of blackness. When you go to the cheese section at your local grocery store and there’s a thing of cheese that’s this much cheese. How much would that be? If it’s a good cheese, it might be nine dollars. It could be more than that. It could be 14. Cave, man, yes. Put it all together from a cave. It’s totally a cave. I think that we are. We’re locked in. This is the only question mark for me right here. ’cause they’re so close. Oh, you don’t think we’re locked in? Well, she’s gonna tell us. We get to rearrange ’em. Okay. We’re locked in. You have four correct. So we get the prize no matter what. We should not move anything. But, we, but. What do you feel like today? What’s the prize It’s a Costco special thing. We get the prize, but do we get the pride? Alright, let’s switch ’em. This is what you think? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know, man. ‘Cause if we’re still one, two, three, four. Maybe we should have done this. Well, I’m not. You’re too lazy to move the honey though. Honey. Truffles. I mean, we can just move that. Nope, can’t. What do you think about that? It’s either this. I’m too lazy to move the honey. Or this? Which one do you think makes more sense? The fact that we’re not confident. Fine, switch the honey. I’m not helping. You think that’s $150 worth of honey? I mean I did the math on it. I said 300 divided by two. Yeah. Push it over. I mean, we gotta do it right. It just seemed too perfect. I didn’t even. The truffles are $119. Look at that. I’m so not lazy. Alright, we’re re locked in. It’s your final answer? Yes. Oh, I don’t like the way you asked that. Yes. But yeah. You now have three correct. So we’ve lost, dude. And I’m sorry to say the prize was a Costco Jacuzzi, that you guys lost. Is that it? I know. I didn’t emphasize how much was on the line ’cause we did totally buy this. We really did. And now you’re just gonna return it? And now we have to return it. because you moved. God. Those things. Oh my god. Okay. It looks like a family swimming in a cooler. Is it? We should have switched these? Well, let’s start from the the bottom. ‘Cause I did switch these. You’re correct that the ginseng root was the lowest priced item. That’s right. Then the honey. Yeah. Yeah. And then I just switched these. So this should be right. Then the Manchego cheese. Oh. We were so dumb. $150? Yep. That’s a steal. Then the balsamic vinegar. Oh, it’s the truffle that’s 350? What? Truffle is 350 and the ham is the most expensive. 350. Okay. So just for our own educational That truffle is not good enough. Purposes, is the white truffle more expensive than the black truffle? Yes. White truffle’s more expensive. Okay. Ding ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, 350 for just four little pieces. Four little rocks of it. Boy, we’re gonna have a great afternoon, the honey. But we’re not gonna be in a hot tub. The honey’s gonna be the thing that’s left over when we’re done with this party. These men are gonna have to Chego dry. Yep. Thanks for coming and sharing this video. You know what time it is. I’m Lily And I’m Cooper. And we’re in Mundare, Alberta, Canada. And this is the world’s largest sausage. And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. That’s worth a stop, every time. Is it two sausages touching at the top? Sausages go up and then they wrap in the intestine. Oh, it’s got the link. It’s two links. You should know that of all people, Link. Unsolicited advice. Okay, Sheila, we know that you’re watching right now. Sheila, okay, pay attention. Talking to you. We know that you are wondering if you should get that large back tattoo that you’ve been thinking about. And I think it’s a great idea. Not only should you get it in the back, but you should have it wrap around to the front. And it’s really inventive that you’re getting your back tattooed on your back, but slightly smaller. Yeah. We love the way you think, Sheila. Click the top link to watch this us decide how big is too big to slide? To slide. To slide. We’re gonna deslide how big is too big when it comes to strawberries and other things in “Good Mythical More.” Watch the new episode of “Roll for Mythicality” on Mythical Society now. Friends, friends, I have an important question. I have an important question. I think you have to stand up on the table for this. Would anybody like to go in on some potatoes au gratin with me? That’s the cheesy ones? Yes. Yeah, I’m in, buddy. Hobojojo and I will do the potatoes au gratin.
