I only shop regularly at Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Safeway; plus a gourmet food store that’ll be too expensive (that’s where I buy my $12-15 loaves and 12-oz coffee and gift chocolate bars). I’m reducing the local supermarket because their staff isn’t friendly (Davie style) so I’ll only go there rarely for Terra Taro chips and deli-sliced roast beef. I don’t know how their $42 caviar compares to Costco $42 caviar so I’m better off sticking with Costco.
I have creme fraiche which can be used with other food and I only have blini recipe / ingredients - thankfully zero actual blini.

I doubt the Costco sells unpasteurized caviar.
thanks! I guess I’ll skip for now. I’ll survive :-)
