A friend of mine gave me a gift. A big gift. Perhaps a near perfect gift.Check it out:
For the photo, to provide some perspective, I placed an ordinary jar of Nutella next to the dynamic duo she bought at Costco. Can you see and appreciate the dramatic difference? Each of the big jars contains twice the little jar.That’s a lot of Nutella.I can get the regular jar (that will from this point forward be considered mini) at Target for about $2.99. It’s one of our splurges. She got these two shrink-wrapped together at Costco for about $8.00. We compared weight and price. If you bought the same amount in the mini size jar, we figured it would only cost $2.00.So run, people! Run to Costco with a friend and plunk down your eight bucks, split the pack so you each get a mega-jar of Nutella of your very own, grab a loaf of French bread, and head home to enjoy le gouter. It may be the last small pleasure we can afford during these volatile economic times.

LOL, I have never understood the whole Nutella thing. Perhaps because I’ve never tasted it. Perhaps I should!!
Mmmmmmm we have Nutella here in Australia and I have to admit I could eat a whole bottle using a spoon! Better I can’t get to an American Costco!
Have a wonderful day and don’t eat too much of that stuff. When it tastes that good it CAN’T be good for you :O)
Confession: I have never had Nutella.
Second confession: I don’t even know how to pronounce “Nutella.”
But it looks like something I’d like. After all, it’s edible, and sitting still.
(All said in the style of Meg Ryan’s confession in You’ve Got Mail…)
KATHLEEN: I have something to tell you. I didn’t vote.
FRANK: What?
KATHLEEN: In the last mayoral election, when Rudy Giuliani was running against Ruth Messinger, I went to get a manicure and forgot to vote.
FRANK: Since when do you get manicures?
KATHLEEN: Oh, I suppose you could never be with a woman who gets manicures.
FRANK: Forget it. It’s okay. I forgive you.
KATHLEEN: You forgive me.
I have a recipe for banana nutella muffins if you’re interested….
;o)
Oh, man!! Yet another reason I WANT COSTCO!! 😀
At least we are on our way to our *brand new Target* today! I may have to buy a “mini-jar” there to celebrate! 🙂
Nutella, a very loved Italian food.
Dianne: Well, some people don’t take to it. One of The Belgian Wonder’s nieces doesn’t like it much at all; another eats it by the spoonful. And a friend of mine says that just the thought of it–a spread made from chocolate with hazelnut–makes her sick. So proceed with an open mind and taste buds.
Pauline: I’m going to be tempted to scoop it like that from those mega containers! With the mini, I spread it pretty thin to make it last….so you’re right. I may be in big trouble, calorie-wise.
Stretch Mark Mama: Please, let me help you feel Nutella-empowered. I learned to say it in Belgium like this….
“new-TELL-uh.” Slight emphasis on second syllable.
Nutella is not healthy, and I know you’re doing the healthy thing. So you might just keep passing by those jars.
Jenni: Send. Recipe. Immediately.
Please.
Jennifer: So….did you get it?
Al: My Italian-Belgian in-laws have described gigantic tubs of Nutella they’ve seen in Italy. Yum. How can anyone practice restraint?
Good ‘ol Nutella. It goes with just about anything. I certainly can say that when I have it I eat it! 🙂
How many foods can you think of that go with Nutella?
-Apples
-Bread (or toast)
-Without anything (does that count?)
-?
I know thats not a long list, but I’m tired.
How many can you think of?
Mmm… I just bought the big duo at Costco this week 🙂 Now I’m trying to look for some good recipes using it so I don’t eat both jars with a spoon….LOL
I’ll be posting some recipes in the next week or so 🙂
Oh, in Russia small jar is about 10$. Sad.
