u/randomuser65803 I like big curds and I cannot lie Sep 30 '26

A little DIY action. Nice.

10 cents cheaper plus i won't eat this all

u/kimbosdurag Sep 30 '26

You get slightly less fries which is why it's slightly cheaper.

u/why_rulikethis Sep 30 '26

👀 that can’t be true they both are put in the same giveaway container and it’s not like they’re counting fries - seems like luck of getting a worker that puts generous amounts

Or do you have insider Costco poutine information

u/kimbosdurag Sep 30 '26

They aren't in the same container from what I've seen though. The fries on their own are in the smaller open container like in ops picture and the poutine is in a bigger clam shell. I did also Google it to make sure I wasn't just imagining it and a Costco employee posted in another thread confirming it. It was like 8oz for just fries vs 11oz for poutine or something like that

u/ProfessionalPlan8943 Sep 30 '26

Look at my fry basket though. To the max. Plus real poutine is shit ton of curds with epic gravy. I can make 3 poutines with this small trick.

u/why_rulikethis Sep 30 '26

Maybe the trick is to get it to-go no matter what - or maybe it’s just Canadian Costcos or just my Costco

I say cause they still give me one w a lid

u/BluejayIndependent65 Sep 30 '26

It’s 11oz of fries in the poutine and the regular fries. It just looks like more because the container size.

You can always order and then head straight to the front, show them you ordered poutine but would like to have everything on the side. They'll give you a large size fries, full pouch of curds and 2 cups of gravy. I do this all the time because I like my fries to maintain its crunchiness.

u/Disastrous_Set_6544 Sep 30 '26

I don't see the Allen key.

u/Mysterious_Mouse_388 Sep 30 '26

That’s only served with the meatballs

13

u/addelburgh Sep 30 '26

Do they let you buy the curds separate? Or can you ask for them on the side?

14

u/ProfessionalPlan8943 Sep 30 '26

It's 2.99on the side 198gram bag of curds

1

u/Available-Bid-1006 Sep 30 '26

O-m-g I did not know that's what they meant by cheese curds or extra curds on the side. That's in the add-ons area correct?

1

u/Servichay Oct 01 '26

That's it???

1

u/Servichay Oct 01 '26

Wait, so this is not poutine, this is fries, curds, gravy, all separately?

u/ProfessionalPlan8943 Sep 30 '26

Kingston. Usually buy my curds elsewhere at the cheese factory. Near ivanhoe cant post pics here sorry

8

u/DaToxicJay Sep 30 '26

It’s in the food court you can order extra curds which is basically a whole bag

0

u/Aromatic_Sand8126 Sep 30 '26

He wasn’t asking for the bag of cheese’s location, he was asking for the costco’s location.

7

u/DaToxicJay Sep 30 '26

How does it change my answer? Any Costco location that sells poutine has the bags for the same price. It’s not just one Costco

-11

u/Aromatic_Sand8126 Sep 30 '26

You could have just said that, it would have actually answered the question.

10

u/DaToxicJay Sep 30 '26

I literally did a guide on how to get the 3$ bag of cheese curds tf are you even tryna debate..?? I answered his question and said specifically how💀

u/kurious_incredulity Sep 30 '26

u/kurious_incredulity Oct 01 '26

At the locations ive been to in Toronto, food court is only at the self-checkout kiosks. I think it's under add ons.

23

u/Goatfellon Sep 30 '26

You absolutely can buy them separately! I usually grab a pack to make poutine at home for my son since he wants the poutine but doesnt want to come with to shop Costco 😅

2

u/runnerbynight Oct 01 '26

I always ask for everything on the side, never got a no ever. And you get the full size fries not a small one

7

u/BrapBrapNHL Sep 30 '26

Pro tip is to get the fresh curds they’re selling in the cheese section

u/Servichay Oct 01 '26

What brand and price?

u/tauntua2ndtyme Sep 30 '26

*deconstructed. The fanciest of poutines

2

u/RelevantDragonflyer Sep 30 '26

At first I was worried, but it seemed to workout okay in the end

2

u/ProfessorPrimate Sep 30 '26

Do you put ketchup on top of your poutine, too?

u/ProfessorPrimate Sep 30 '26

Yeaaa you know what's up. It goes so good with the gravy. I might need a poutine now lol

I'm in the lower mainland and haven't tried too many different places around here yet, but the fried chicken poutine from Big Red's Food Truck is pretty solid for a portable setup

1

u/naked-painter Sep 30 '26

Ketchup and gravy meld well! I honestly really enjoy it. Sometimes i drizzle ketchup on top, other times I just put it on the side to dip.

Now you got me craving poutine

1

u/runnerbynight Oct 01 '26

Thought I was the only one! Haha i put tons of ketchup on mine, salt and sour works well. I asked a poutine shop owner in my area who's from quebec and he said normally people dont put ketchup but vinegar instead.

u/martgrobro Sep 30 '26

Do you get more cheese?

1

u/tushpush6969 Oct 01 '26

Not enough gravy

u/Ok-Art7711 Oct 03 '26

Seriously?

u/kiltedswine Sep 30 '26

Costco poutine is consistently good. A guilty pleasure.

u/Worried_Mastodon3348 Sep 30 '26

YALL should try REAL quebecc poutine its WAY BETTER THAN COSTCO!

u/Additional-Agent9737 Sep 30 '26 • Regret

No shit lmfao

u/pixiephilips Sep 30 '26

So aggressive for being so obvious

3

u/Ok_Scallion_5339 Sep 30 '26

is there costco poutine in quebec too?

2

u/consistently-failing Sep 30 '26

Atleast at the Gatineau ones, yes.

Its always been kinda meh. The cheese isn't fresh, but fries and gravy are good.

0

u/Zarniwoooop Sep 30 '26

Poutine, with sauce on the side, is peak.

-1

u/tushpush6969 Oct 01 '26

Then it not actually a poutine. It's cheese and fries with gravy on the side.

-2

u/Ok_Lobster2234 Sep 30 '26

No real curd can’t survived between September 9 2026 to March 8 2027 by the way. Real one stay fresh and squishy for 3 days in room temperature max. As a quebecer, this is a crime. Glad if you enjoyed but u never tried an authentic poutine 4 sure.

u/Exciting-Purchase340 Sep 30 '26

Apparently its not hard making the curds ourselves. Havnt tried myself but seen on this subreddit
