The selection for Valentine's Day at Costco is diverse, including items like Le Chic Pâtissier's Heart Shaped Macarons, The Popcorn Factory's Valentine's Day Tin, and the Sugar Plum Boo Box. '
This Boo Box is an assortment of treats, including milk chocolate-covered pretzels, cookies, graham crackers, cherry candy bites, nonpareils, a milk chocolate crispy heart cookie, and a snack mix with brownie, cookie, and caramel bits.
Meanwhile, Sam's Club has joined the fray by offering chocolate-dipped strawberries. These strawberries are available in packs of 12, priced at $9.98, breaking down to about 83 cents per strawberry.
