I know that Rao’s jars are owned by the group that has Stonyfeld yogurt. My food industry friend works for that company; their boss handles the Costco account for Rao’s.

I keep hoping that Costco will sell a 4-pack of the pizza sauce, which is $5.99 retail at Safeway. I try to only buy it on sale.
definitely Costco sales for Rao’s when possible. It’s one of the few food products where my inventory level is higher in quantity compared to a retailer, all due to the promotion.

Was it good enough for returning or do you prefer to return to other Italian restaurants when you’re in Vegas? Which years do you go?
