Walmart vs. Costco Taste Test

Who makes better frozen food, Walmart or Costco? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Summer. When I think about Walmart and Costco, I think big. Both of these places have a big selection of items. Big market power, and just bigger stores altogether. But. Oh, I know where this is going. But which has the biggest shopping carts for riding like a scooter and going?

Yeah, boy. No. Which one is actually better specifically for their store brand frozen foods? Same thing. It's time for. Food Feuds Walmart Versus Costco. Did someone forget the food? No, no, no. It's on its way. I'm told it's being delivered via some familiar faces. Hey. Hey. How's it going? Look who it is.

What's up? It's Dirk and Patty. Everyone's favorite heavy metal couple. Yeah, we're not so metal anymore. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Because your parents? Is that. How's that going? Yeah. Still haven't named it. We never named it. How long has it been? Two years. Oh, wow. It. Since we've done this bit. Go through the archives, everybody. Unless Paramount took it down for some reason. Yeah, okay. Yeah. That's always a possibility.

Yeah. Well, what do you have for us, you know? Well, we have more of this bit, if that's cool. Yeah, very cool. It sure is hard being parents. Anyway, here's Walmart's bacon egg cheese croissant. Hey, I'm on this side. It goes over there. Oh, really? Good lord. We haven't done this in two years. That's fair. I don't know. It's like it never left. Take it away, hubby. And this here.

Beat down. Is Costco's bacon, egg and cheese croissant for. I guess it's a. It's like in a big pack for eighteen, nineteen. in a box. But they're only two twenty-seven per sandwich. Yeah, mine's five twenty-nine in the box, and then it's like one forty-five per sandwich. It's important, you know. Don't look up the math on that, kids. Because it's wrong. Okay. Oh, don't touch me. Okay. Thank you. Oh. So. Well, things are not going well. for them.

It was to be expected. Walmart. Walmart. Basically, their version of a. Burger King breakfast sandwich. You can taste how good it is for you. It's a little chewy. Is it horrible? No. Does that matter? Yeah, it would matter if it's horrible. On a scale of one to ten, how horrible is it? Not that horrible. This one looks. The chewiness. is a little alarming. This one looks substantially better, but hold that one.

up. Look at how the. top of yours. What? It's so swirly. It's so swirly. I like that. This egg is so white. How white is it? I'm not gonna. Let's bite it. That's how I expect. The bacon is smokier. To give in my mouth. To give in your mouth. That makes me feel weird. This sandwich doesn't give.

It's very rubbery. This one tastes like a regular sandwich. It's a lot better. Is it approaching the Burger King sandwich? No. But you're at home, and you're desperately microwaving things just to get by. I get it. I'm sorry, Great Value. This did not give me a great value. Four. I agree. I'm giving that a four. I'm gonna give this one a. six. I feel like that's generous, but I gotta go two beats above that one.

I almost want to go to a seven on that. Don't. Don't. You're just being fooled by how bad that is. Six. Okay, I won't. Hey, guys. Hey. How's it going? I'm sorry you're so down. Well, I mean, I always sounded like this. Oh, that's true. It's just my face doesn't match the voice anymore. Okay. No real joy in motherhood? I'm happy. What do we got here? Oh, I'm glad you asked. This is Walmart's thin, crispy pepperoni pizza.

It is four ninety-seven. Okay. Hey, My wife. So. I'm having trouble sexually with my wife. How do you keep the spark alive after so many years of raising a child? Well, you know, just. I don't know. Be yourself. Yeah. Great advice. I'll try it. So this is Costco's frozen pepperoni thin crust pizza.

Four thin crust pizzas made with one hundred percent real cheese. for fifteen sixty-nine a box. and three ninety-two. per pizza. Okay. I mean, you could be anyone else, if you want to roleplay. I just want to be me. This one's got. shaky stuff on it. Seasonings. So. that gets my hopes up.

What's your box look like? I need to. Are your freezers this big? Do I have a small freezer? I was thinking in the. Like, where do you? This is. You need an open top for this one. You don't have a bottom drawer? Well, I'm just thinking, in the last round, the boxes were really big, and this round, the boxes are big. And. how many big boxes can you put in your freezer? I'm just confused. No, no. That's next week's episode. Stevie,

come on. Don't get too far ahead. Gotta have a dedicated freezer for this type of lifestyle. That's not a bad tasting pizza. I mean. No. All pizza is good pizza, in my mind. It's a low rung of pizza, but it still is. enjoyable. Yeah. It's under five bucks. I mean, we gotta judge on that scale. Like, every single piece of pepperoni almost has two pieces right there on it. And they don't even market it that way. This is just like a bonus thing that. Well, it only happened to your slice. Maybe some of the pepperoni from the upper pizza fell into the lower pizza.

There's a double right there. Pretty similar, actually. Basically, we're choosing which one we would buy. for, like, a young kids sports team celebration. Right? Because kids got no taste. Right? Right. So we're just getting. We're getting one that, like, if a parent happened to grab one, we wouldn't have to apologize to them. That's gonna be this one. by a little bit. Because of the seasoning? Because of the seasoning. I like the pepperoni and crust better on this one.

So, that mean you like it overall better? They even out. But they're both fours. Four, three for me. Harsh. I don't know, does that mean, you know. There's an audible gasping. It is what it is. What we got now? This is Costco's. frozen Italian style beef meatballs. Okay. Got a hundred and forty of them in that bag. There's a lot of balls.

Yep. It's a heavy bag. Only twenty nineteen. That's only seventy-two cents per serving. What a deal. What a deal. What a great deal. It gets better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It does. They eventually leave. The kids? Your kids. Oh, not the wife. My wife or my kids? The kids. It depends. Look at this. I, too have meatballs. and they are from. Walmart. Right. And they are frozen. Right.

And this is a bag of probably less. than that, but it costs seven eighty-four for the whole bag. Seventy-one cents per ball. You know what? I think you. You know, I hear you're having some troubles. Yeah. I was gonna ask your advice about this, like. Just be yourself, I think. is what I'm gonna tell you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your question? I don't know anymore. Just be yourself. But you know what? I don't need. I don't need a question. This is great. Thank you.

Did I say the price? You said seventy-one cents per ball, which is. That's great. I think it's seventy-one cents per serving, but. Good. I got it right then. So it's, like, ten cents per ball? Look at that giant bag of balls. That is. Yeah. That is unacceptable. We're gonna need a bigger freezer. A hundred and forty balls. Maybe you buy them and you immediately serve them to a party of. I think these could be. served to high schoolers, actually. And I do think that.

I'm no longer a high schooler, and I'm enjoying these balls. These meatballs are right up. They're not bad. Right up my alley. I think this is something that I would actually. Your mom would take these and put these in that grape jelly. Grape jelly in the Crockpot, and it needs to be Christmas, though. I like these. It's always Christmas somewhere. That's how the seasons work. Sauceless. It's still great. Pretty good meatball. They're so much smaller. than. the Costco ones.

And the Costco ones are darker. There's more flavor on the Costco ones. These are a lot more Italiany. Those are just plain old meatballs. I wouldn't call them Italian. Well, don't. Well, it says it right there on it. But you don't call it that. Italian style, but not Italian flavor. I thought they were okay until I had these. Costco is finally. bringing it. Both of these are solid meatballs. Seven. Seven?

Six. Eight. And you get a lot of them too, if you haven't noticed. Check out this shirt. It's a design. inspired by nineties cartoons, but it's Mythicalized. Got the Mythical characters on here. Printed in a dark gray tee, as you can see. Also available. as a scrunchie. Oh, let's see how that scrunchie works. The all over pattern. My hair has been getting into my meatballs.

This is so fun. Have some fun along with us. Go back to the nineties. mythical.com. Bring in the next item. Okay. Wait, wait. Before. Dirk and Patty come in, I wanted to let you know where things stand with the Food Feuds crew tournament. Because I know, like. Everybody's trying to predict. our choices. And you're constantly thinking about. the crew tournament, of course. And the standings. I dream about it. So, Lauren is in the lead. No ties. Lauren. Number one position.

So, Lauren, do you know what you win if you stay in the lead? Is it a jacket this time? I think maybe it's a vest now, because of the sleeves, were a little too expensive. Nope. Nope. We'll get you a jacket. All right, bring it in, y'all. Lauren. alone in the lead. Did you do something with your hair? Yeah, I covered it up with a hat. Did you do something to your lip? Yeah, I pierced it again. No ice. The pain makes me feel alive.

They're being themselves. That's my advice, I guess. Hey, this is Walmart's lasagna. It's got three meats in it. Is it fourteen ninety-seven? It's been so long since I've done this. And this right here is. the Italian sausage and beef lasagna from Costco. How many meats does it have in it? At least one. Yeah, I can see it. And it's only eighteen sixty-nine. Which is what we'll be doing later.

Only ground beef over here. What is the eighteen part? Now, I got high hopes for this because. frozen lasagna is sometimes the best lasagna. Yeah. Agreed. Going into the corner. I will say. it's fallen. The lasagna has fallen. Meaning it's short, like, smushed?

Well, look at the picture. What about that expectation that was set? Yeah, I don't think it's. That was not met. It tastes fine. Tastes good. Fine. More than good, I would say. Yep. Fine. Over here. This one. looks better. Again, it's got flecks. The. Walmart. Walmart fleets it, "fleetsa". Walmart "fleetsa". had flecks.

and the, and the Costco lasagna has flecks. I mean, like, flecks of seasoning. Consistency. wise, texture wise, it's better, but. it's got. What is that? Is it fruity? Is that the flecks? Are we tasting the flecks? What is that flavor? It's iItalian spice, man. Is it oregano? It's not fruit, I'll tell you that. You think it tasted fruity? Floral, almost. What is the, what are the three meats in the.

Walmart one? Sausage, beef, and uncured pepperoni. Oh, can you taste those three? No. It's quite flavorless to have three. meats in it. I'm coming back to this one. This one with only one meat. Oh, look at that. This one's. definitely better. Yeah. My palate is adjusting to that one and wanting to go back to it. Cheesier, seasonier, taller.

I'm giving that a. Five. Three and a five, over here. I'm going. seven. Seven as well. So much better. That's the biggest gap we've had so far. I also, might. I add. that your high ponytail is looking great. Yeah. I think it really lifts. everything up. Should I do it more often? I think so. I think that. You're saying it gives him a facelift? I think it just lifts everyone's spirits.

Spirits? Yeah. I think she's saying it like tauts. your face wrinkles, face lift. You should be offended. I'll take the compliment. What's up? I'm pregnant again. Oh, no. Oh, man. We did it again. Why did you tell us to be who we were? Oh, no. You're so fertile. I know. Wow. The speed at which you. I think you might need to go see the doctor.

Because that's quick. Or the Guinness Book of World Records. Okay. All right! Congratulations. I guess with this second baby, we won't be seeing you guys for another two years. It's whatever you want us back, man. We're around. Assuming it's gonna be a lot. So much. So, we got ice creams for everybody. Glad you're happy. Get your fat ass out of my way. Oh, it's a happy ending. Oh, they're fighting again. Premium vanilla ice cream. from Costco. And that's homestyle vanilla ice cream.

I forgot to do the voice. That's homestyle vanilla ice cream from Walmart for. three twelve. Thanks for putting those prices up for me. Three twelve.. All right. Thank you. Best wishes. Hopefully you can name that one. Nah. Homestyle. It's a little bit yellow. Versus. super premium. And I would like to amend my one meat statement. The last round, there were indeed two meats in the Costco. I didn't want to say anything.

This has got that. From a big tub? Budget vanilla. yellowness to it. The big tub at camp, that's the color of this. Big tub of vanilla ice cream at camp. If there was a crayon color, this is what it would be. I mean, usually if I eat ice cream. You like it. And I have nothing to compare it to. I like it. But this is bad. It's just not good. All by itself, it's bad. It's just. I mean, it puts me in, like a.

What happened? A two spot. What happened? This one's the right color. How many meats are in this? This one's very whiter. Oh, I like the consistency. Yes. It's way better. So much better. What is happening here? Let me come back. So much better. To the weird one. Back to the weird one. Yeah. I mean, because, you know, the best vanilla,

it almost has, like, a little bit of saltiness to it. There's something in this. It's got that. Is it like a real vanilla bean versus artificial vanilla? Probably. Situation? It has something in this that feels like it shouldn't be in it. Yes. Yes. It could be traces of almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, coconut, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, wheat or soy. I'm giving it a one. I mean, from the moment I tasted it, I was like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't keep eating it.

Like, if you had an offer of no ice cream or this ice cream? One bite. Even me. You go without? Even Me is saying no. Even Mia? Even you are. I'm gonna give it a one as well. I can't believe I'm doing that. It's so bad, y'all. How did it get so bad? Great Value has a lot of stuff that's good. This, right here. I mean, in the absence of comparing it to a high dollar, I think that it's high dollar. You could fool me.

There's no flecks in it. It needs a little flecks. I think if you had, like, for real vanilla ice cream right here. Well, yeah. That was a ten. But there's not. I know that. I'm not gonna give it a ten. This is a six. It's a seven for me. I think at first we were, like, giving Walmart some love, and then we switched. So. where did we end up? Walmart with thirty-nine. Costco, sixty-two. Good gracious.

This was. ugly. The bulk daddy has come in and sat on the Walmart. Is this what you expected? It's weird, because bulk daddy is also what I call Lauren, who's still in the lead for the crew tournament. Congratulations, Lauren, and congratulations to Costco. You're officially supermarket supreme and have won the chance. to sponsor a future GMM episode. Come on, let's do it. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is.
