Foreword

For many of students growing up in Carlsbad, the Costco food court has played a pivotal role in their lives. The Costco food court was there after parents dragged us through the store for three hours. It was always there, open armed, after a long day. It consoled us after we dropped $40. The Costco food court plays a massive role in Sage Creek’s off-roll culture, instead of sitting in fifth period, many spend their sunny afternoons sitting under those classic red and white umbrellas, laughing and eating with friends.

People love the food court for three reasons.  Reason number one: its affordable. It’s a place to grub where students don’t have to spend $15 everyday eating at other establishments during free times. The food offered there, for the most part, is delicious. Costco food has always had a unique, special taste, a taste that has never changed. Students can always count on food being under $10.

I am a self proclaimed Costco connoisseur, I’ve been dining at the Costco food court for many years. I have created a system of recognizing the best and worst items.

The graph helps explain why specific items were ranked the way they are.

Here are the tastiest, cheapest Costco items ranked from the best  to the worst.
