New Taste Thinking:
I have absolutely nothing to do with Bob's Red Mill or Costco but must admit I was blown away to find this 4 pound bag yesterday sitting in an aisle at Costco. The price is about half of what I have been paying. Who would have imagined finding this product at a mainstream warehouse chain-store just a few short years ago?!!
