avoided it though, it did not come home with me ... today.

Nutritional Info and points, anyone?

Well, better than the breakfast cookie cited but not wonderful.

240 calories
11 grams fat
3 fiber

5.something points which is less than the breakfast cookie. And she
claims (the heathnut that she is) that the oils are good oils and that
she does not believe WW should be penalizing us for good oils!!!!

It was about that size in diameter but thinner. I have to remember to
ask for the info that is presumeably on the box.

Yes, empty points are a problem.

I used to eat the bakers breakfast cookies quite a lot until I formulated my
own recipe for a similar cookie, and yeah, 5 to 6 points, but a nutrient
bomb, and very very filling. If it was very dense, and about 3 " diameter X
1/2" thick you gotta have at least 5 points. Never bothered my weight loss
efforts a bit though. For me the "empty" points were more of a problem.

Yikes - I hope those are not them - 6 points for the fruit/nut one.

These were in plain cellophane and probably came bulk packaged. I
will catch her when she's home. But I think you've at least come
close to what I had (sigh) Actually, I did think about it but decided
I needed the food to get home!!!! (G)

Oh shucks, and here I thought I was helping by forwarding that little tidbit of
information. I did learn though that I need to stay out of Costco on Sundays ..
probably the week-ends entirely. I swear you could walk through that place and
eat an entire meal ... just by sampling. Not a good thing.

Our Costco is like that any day of the week, as long as it is before about
3pm, so if you want to avoid the samples, go after 3pm.

I am much better at Costco and only sampling foods that are
reasonable. Ask for bread without butter, skip the chicken wings and
lasagna. Will sample the juice. I also go early generally before
they have started the cooking! (g)

I guess I should admit to trying their fruit cake during the holiday
season. And then purchasing one the next visit! (G) It is cut up and
frozen and gets taken on ski trips or hiking.

Argh! Thanks for the info Deb. I don't do much shopping in the late afternoons,
usually is the family's busy time. Guess my best bet is to just avoid ... or sew
my lips shut before entering the store. G

I somehow manage to hit the place when I have little to no self-control left, and
all that prepared food looks so wonderful. But the samples are small sized and I
don't go for everything, so figure a handful of points will work as a guestimate.
Last time hub and I just took one sample cup and shared it - enough for a taste
and that's all we really wanted anyway.
