😂 The way that you looked into & turned the fruity cookie bag after tasting!! As if you were looking for something that may have been in there to make it taste so bad! 👏 😂 U're too funny Matt! ❤❤❤🎉
I got a chicken from WalMart and they went to those bags...While loading the food, somehow the bag came open. Now my vehicle smells like chicken/broth...
Some items are available online that nonmembers can buy for a 5 percent nonmember fee. I just bought a Cosco hand truck featured on the Deal Guy earlier this month. The nonmember fee was $8. Still, the item was about $100 cheaper than at Walmart or Target and also less than at Amazon.
Great video and info, as always, with much appreciated humor along the way! In case anyone's wondering what you meant by the lowercase and uppercase Pyrex remark: pyrex: Lowercase indication of containers that should not be heated in the oven or microwave. These are most likely made of soda-lime glass. PYREX: Uppercase label on cookware that is made of borosilicate glass and can be heated in a microwave or oven.
Every time I’ve gotten the rotisserie chicken from the Costco in my area (3times) they were raw in the middle🤮I’ll never buy them again and I live 40 miles away so by the time I go back in the next month it’s not really doing me much good to complain😤
The problem with the Costco chicken a bag instead of the clam shell is that you have to remove it from the bag, put it on a platter to cut it up then find another container to store the leftovers. Before, I would cut, serve and store efficiently in the clamshell. The bag is not good. Also, it has ventilation holes so if you think you can store in it, wait til it tips in the fridge and you have grease and juice dripping everywhere.
I hate the new packaging for the Costco Chicken, I would pay extra to get the old container. The old containers made it easy to both carve up the chicken as well as store the chicken since it usually takes us a few days to consume it.
I spoke to a Costco Employee yesterday, telling them about how many people HATE the bags and why... she said the employees feel the same way. She suggested that we use their suggestion boxes out side the Entrance to voice our opinions... she said Costco takes that input very seriously. I'm going to do it!
We've bought sooooo many of those Pyrex sets! They make great gifts for weddings, graduates, etc; plus we use them daily in our own home & absolutely love them. Highly recommend by family & friends as best gift ever & best bowl sets to own, especially with matching lids that don't leak!!
It’s hard to carve the chicken in the new bags. In the clam shells I was able to get to the legs, thighs, breast slices, etc. aThe new ones are messy if you don’t want to eat the whole thing at a single meal.
@@myrtlekittyOf courseI do! The actual point is that in the clam shell packaging I didn't have to wrangle a slippery, greasy chicken out of -- and back into -- a flimsy sided bag just to get a serving of chicken. Not to mention cleaning more dishes each time. I could simply remove the lid, slice off whatever I wanted, and return the lid. I could even use the packaging to dispose of leftovers such as bones and skin at each serving, including the last. So, to answer the question asked in the original posting -- I PREFER the old packaging.
Matt, to answer the question of what is my thought on the bags that Costco is using for the rotisserie chicken, I do not like it. Often I see the chickens being destroyed to place them in the bags. A lot of people have questioned what happens to the plastic with hot chicken sitting inside, and sitting on/in the heater, and the commute home. All valid questions, and I haven't heard any actual results which makes me question Costco's choice in switching, if it was actually worth it or not. And as if that wasn't enough reason to not buy into the plastic bags, never before have I seen chickens sit on the warmer for so long before switching to these bags. Costco has made a mistake with this switch.
We got that "pet" bed last year and I tell ya, the amount of times I have woken up in it after a fantastic night out is high, this bed is the absolute most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and I have a $3000 king bed upstairs lol My 2 dogs love it and so do I lol
My wife and I just bought those red Adirondack chairs about three weeks ago at Costco up in London Ontario Canada. It took about an hour to put each together, and they’re awesome and very comfortable
They are very solid. I bought 4 of them thinking I had a spot in mind. They are so heavy to move (for me) that they are staying in the first place I managed to get them. Enjoy!!
@@karenok464 True but that is why we store them on a bottom tier pull out shelf. Just today I used one of the smaller ones to make sauce for chicken lo mein because I could pour hot water in to make stock without worrying if it would shatter.
@@anne8663 They are not rated for broilers or range tops, but I have absolutely poured very hot liquids in without incident. Would I pour a rolling boil in? Probably not just to not risk splashing.
I have friends that would use the chicken container as prop containers or extended food containers. Locals near me were very upset with the change to bags
Those bowl sets are wonderful... we've bought probably 20 sets for ourselves & gifts, & everyone we've given them to loves them too. The lids are leakproof. Sure, you can't put them in a hot, scorching oven, but they're bowls. My daughter proofs bread in the largest one in an oven on warm with no probs all the time.... I guess, if you know what purpose you should use them for, you don't have problems. We use them for mixing, proofing, & serving bc they're beautiful. Just saying...
@@allison471 Yes, they're made of soda-lime glass which is not thermally stable. All cap PYREX is borosilicate and safe for heating. Time was when it was all PYREX but not any more.
Talking of the bagged rotisserie chicken, they also did the same with their mixed nuts and cashews. I will add that the bags have less nuts than the plastic canisters they used to come in.
I know that the raw cashews are the same weight whether in a bag or cannister. I kept my last cannister so I could dump the bag contents into it. Fills right to the top. No knowledge of the other nuts.
I purchase cashews every couple weeks and have no problem with pouring them into an old plastic nut container (same one). The jar always fills to the very top of the jar.
Costco chickens: I am guessing it is better to have the plastic bags in the trash rather than the hard plastic shells - but it is harder for me to get the chicken out and instead of taking it apart in the container now I have to take it out and put it on a plate. Not that huge of a deal but you asked for a comment. 🙂 I love your mannerisms and comments on the products.
This is my exact issue!! I am not a fan of needing to take the chicken out and place it on a plate. Just a little frustrating. I liked that the containers stayed up too. I have had chicken fall in my trunk and it now has a grease stain.
The employees at my local Costco weren’t happy about the new rotisserie chicken bags, stating that they’ve had lots of issues with leakage when they are eventually tipped on its side. They’ve resorted to placing them into separate boxes at the cash register for customers… so any benefits of reduced waste are essentially negating by the added greasy cardboard.
I work at Costco and have heard the company saves a lot of money from switching to the bags (shipping) but has lost A LOT in profit because many members refuse to buy them now. It’s crazy how many left over chickens there are at the end of the night. And I am constantly stocking the registers with smaller boxes so the chickens can be put directly into them and not get grease on other items/in a member’s car. With the containers I would offer a box but now it’s just automatic for me.
@@FrankieFranks44 If Costco was smart, which they and their employees are (as you’ve demonstrated!)…. They’d have come out with a small reusable/washable hard sided shopping carrier for customers to buy that’d fit two chickens side by side. For example, I have a bunch of hard-sided reusable shopping baskets from the grocery store but they are much to large and are cloth covered (which is a mess to clean when you have a bagged chicken that leaks). Something leak and grease proof, sturdy enough to survive multiple uses yet folds flat for storage in the trunk. At least over at Walmart you can double up the plastic shopping bags for their bagged rotisserie “chickens” .. (I say “chickens” because lately they’ve been the size of a pigeon or Cornish hen)
@@CL-mn1yq true. At the same time, the cardboard can’t be recycled now that it’s all greasy, so whereas in the past those could’ve gone to recycling, now they’re landfill waste.
@@robfl07That’s a fantastic idea! You should send it in to Costco! Locate the containers near the chickens and at the checkout - could be a good seller
For those who miss the hard plastic container for the rotisserie chicken because they used it to cut the chicken, there are RUclips videos where people would place the chicken in zip lock bags and “roll” the chicken back and forth to release the chicken from the bones easier than cutting. I tried it and it worked! (I left it in the new bag)😊
Costco appliances can sometimes come with YEARS of warranty and it’s usually a super easy and fast process, so with these deals being lower priced, it’s really an incredible option. I’ve seen employees look up year old purchases and got them replaced
New chicken bags are great to easily debone the bird by manually pressing against the bird until the bone separates from the meat. Bones are simply picked out from the luscious chicken and the bag makes for easy refrigerator storage. I love it!
Those chicken bags are great. I don't know how many times I ended up with hot chicken grease on my shirt as I juggled the item into my cart. Less plastic and smaller volume packaging is always welcome in my life.
I always put the rotisserie chicken in the plastic container into a plastic bag (stored on a roller over the meat counter.) Right next to the chickens. Never leaked or dripped.
I hate the rotisserie chicken bags, there are holes in it which cause it to dry out faster, they don't store as well because no hard shell, they get grease all over them because it is hard to get the chicken in at the store. The fact there is no top means I have to reach inside and cover my hand in chicken grease/juice to get any meat out. Lastly you can't easily tell which chicken is the largest anymore by which ones were touching the top of the container.
The chicken in a bag is a no go for me. The bags are prone to leaking, at least my experience with grocery store chickens. Plus, it ruins the whole construct of eating the chicken out of the tray over the kitchen sink with the dog.
"Plus, it ruins the whole construct of eating the chicken out of the tray over the kitchen sink with the dog." This is the most compelling argument I've seen against the bags so far. Purely because of the dog, just so we're clear.
You still have a great product flip.... you never drop it! Just part of your entertaining ways, along with the dad jokes ..😂😂 love you. Keep up the good work.
I was in Costco last week. I saw those rotisserie chickens in a bag - and didn't buy it. I read that they don't taste good (my friend told me the same thing) - and they taste like chemicals.
I hate the chickens in the bags. It has to touch the top of the container. Now there is no way to tell if it is a good one. I believe the skin gets soggy too.
I hate hate hate the bag - draining the juices and getting the chicken out means it is a one way trip - not so with the old tray. I understand the need for efficiency and plastic reduction, but EVERYTHING is going to bag form. There was value in being able to use the packaging for storage at home. I have kept the old "rounded square" jars for cashews, almonds and the like - just to store them at home. Before we know it, I feel Costco will be selling pesto, jelly, peanut butter and ice cream in similar plastic bags! Keep up the great work, your channel is the best, always watch! I love you, bye-bye! 😁
Love the new rotisserie chicken bags. Easier to transport, store in fridge and less packaging to be tossed or recycled. The bag with the carcass easily goes in the freezer to wait until I want to make stock - saving the use/cost of a ziplock bag.
have purchased several since the switch and every time, the plastic bag was a greasy mess. Now, I first pick-up one of those pink plastic bags they offer and I put the chicken bag right into that. So, thinking the point of less waste is already lost.
This is exactly what i have found. When I strip the meat from the bones, the bones and skin go right back into the bag and into the freezer until time to make stock. The domed containers were way too large and flimsy after they were off the display shelf.
Harder to determine the size of the chicken in the bag. I get it though. The price of the plastic container is less, plus the shipping costs are significantly less.
Don’t buy the pre seasoned cast iron, mine started to peel the third time I tried searing my steaks, black teflon like small material started contaminating my food, same thing happened to my preseasoned hot wok. I bought a rusty $20 old cast iron at the flea market. I cleaned and seasoned it myself and set it in the oven, 7 months later…. best choice ever!!
I prefer the chicken plastic box. I leave mine in it at home. Pull off or slice off whatever quantity I want to eat, until I get down to carcass. I suspect the bag will not allow me to do that, seems very messy. I’ll probably end up taking it out of the bag and keeping it in some other plastic container until time to make soup!
We do not care for the chicken in a bag. Had to move it to another container when we got home. The chicken just seemed “soggy” compared to the chicken in a tray.
Love your video but hate the plastic bags on the rotisserie chicken. You can’t get the chicken out of it and have to put the huge thing on a plate and try to cover it. I noticed Sam’s Club still had the plastic container, but the chicken was undercooked. We will go back to the Costco chickens, but I wish they had the plastic containers once again.
I don’t like the chicken bag. I would cut the chicken as I needed it, put it back into the container. At the end I would strip the carcass to make soup and then threw out the whole thing after I used the bones for broth. This process is too messy with the bags.
I won’t be buying any chickens from Costco because of the bags. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it was a mess. Trying to get it out of the bag was a nightmare because the juices went everywhere. Even though I opened it up in the sink, my hands were covered with chicken grease and juices. I usually make a small amount of gravy from juice. Disposal of the bag was another nightmare all together.
OMG, the cheesecake. I am heading to the CO now. I have 7 things to purchase after your enlightening video. I can not master the art of package twirling like you. Love you.
Excellent presentation. I like that you label the price on the lower left corner. My favorites were the Adirondack chairs, the ladies name brand crinkle dresses on a velvet hanger, the new orange cheesecake, and tge tandoori chicken wraps. I love Costco! ❤
I HATE that the chickens are now in bags. The chicken feels slimly when removed. The new packaging made the chicken so less appealing that I haven't purchased it again. Sometimes "eco" means "yucky".
Hate the new rotisserie chicken bags. Bags are easier to carry the chicken out of the store but Once you get home, you have to constantly take the chicken out of the bag and then put it back in the bag unless you eat an entire chicken at one setting
Although, I sadly think that thought has already happened to the bagged chickens? They seem abnormally small, almost like very young chickens compared to the monsters that took up the whole entire clamshell, leaving no room for error. Now those were chickens! Not to be even closely related to the chickens in the bags.

I'm not a fan of the rotisserie bag. I see why in order to keep the price the same. I have to double bag so it doesn't leak.
Its because the chicken bag has small ventilation holes on the sides.
I like the idea of less plastic, but yeah it leaks way too much.

I was in Costco last week. I saw those rotisserie chickens in a bag - and didn't buy it. I read that they don't taste good (my friend told me the same thing) - and they taste like chemicals.
I appreciate your descriptiveness and honesty.
Leave me and my crinkle attire alone 😅
Matt you never disappoint 😊
I hate the chickens in the bags. It has to touch the top of the container. Now there is no way to tell if it is a good one. I believe the skin gets soggy too.
I hate hate hate the bag - draining the juices and getting the chicken out means it is a one way trip - not so with the old tray. I understand the need for efficiency and plastic reduction, but EVERYTHING is going to bag form. There was value in being able to use the packaging for storage at home. I have kept the old "rounded square" jars for cashews, almonds and the like - just to store them at home. Before we know it, I feel Costco will be selling pesto, jelly, peanut butter and ice cream in similar plastic bags! Keep up the great work, your channel is the best, always watch! I love you, bye-bye! 😁
You look bright and well rested!😊 Thanks for ALL of your hard work esp last week during the Amazon Prime Days!👍
Thanks for today's video as well!🙃
Hate the new chicken bags !!
sorry to hear this i wish both of you well 1 day at a time it will get better
Love the new rotisserie chicken bags. Easier to transport, store in fridge and less packaging to be tossed or recycled. The bag with the carcass easily goes in the freezer to wait until I want to make stock - saving the use/cost of a ziplock bag.
have purchased several since the switch and every time, the plastic bag was a greasy mess. Now, I first pick-up one of those pink plastic bags they offer and I put the chicken bag right into that. So, thinking the point of less waste is already lost.
This is exactly what i have found. When I strip the meat from the bones, the bones and skin go right back into the bag and into the freezer until time to make stock. The domed containers were way too large and flimsy after they were off the display shelf.
Totally agree.
I'm going to take a closer look at that deep fryer. The one we use now is at least 15 years old and isn't big enough to cook for a family of 4.
Careful, the chicken bags have vent holes!
I bought the Bellevue candle set last Christmas and ended up getting rid of them as they barely smelled at all. Aldi has the best candles.
Same here. Very disappointed in the lack of scent.
"a scientific pat test". Hahahaha, you crack me up!
The plastic bags for the roast chicken seem like a disaster waiting to happen. Not a fan.
The product one handed flips will always impress me
Vote for chicken tray = 1. Chicken "bag" = big fat zero..
Price for chicken tray = 2.3¢ bag = 1.2¢ times 137 Million per year X 1.1¢ = $1,507,000.00 Next! Move along - nothing to see here.
@@trimulenot to mention that the bag is more eco friendly.
Harder to determine the size of the chicken in the bag. I get it though. The price of the plastic container is less, plus the shipping costs are significantly less.
Don’t buy the pre seasoned cast iron, mine started to peel the third time I tried searing my steaks, black teflon like small material started contaminating my food, same thing happened to my preseasoned hot wok. I bought a rusty $20 old cast iron at the flea market. I cleaned and seasoned it myself and set it in the oven, 7 months later…. best choice ever!!
Thank you Matt for your hard work. I appreciate the time it takes to research everything and then show and explain it to us.
"seasonally intense" X) How I feel about Costco's Christmas displays haha
The Sealy Queen Posturepedic Plus mattress is a fantastic value at $570. Sold and thank you for another great video. 😊
I found the rotisserie chicken bags quite greasy across the handle👎😪
This video dropped shortly after I returned from Costco this morning. I did buy one of the chickens and I don't like the new packaging.
We really do love your videos. You’re one of my favorites. Thank you. Lots of love.
I’m so glad to hear that!
I prefer the chicken plastic box. I leave mine in it at home. Pull off or slice off whatever quantity I want to eat, until I get down to carcass. I suspect the bag will not allow me to do that, seems very messy. I’ll probably end up taking it out of the bag and keeping it in some other plastic container until time to make soup!
Hate the rotisserie chicken bag!
Amazon Fresh been using those chicken bags from the day they opened.
I know, I used to work there in the kitchen.
We do not care for the chicken in a bag. Had to move it to another container when we got home. The chicken just seemed “soggy” compared to the chicken in a tray.
Yay 🎉! Thank you, ☺️ 🥳 @The Deal Guy! Hope you & your family are having a wonderful summer!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for doing them.
Tip: Place a blanket in the trunk when doing your taste test, quick and easy clean up 😊
But then he wouldn’t be able to show us the vacuum.
A towel would be easiet to shake out and wash.
Great idea!
Love your video but hate the plastic bags on the rotisserie chicken. You can’t get the chicken out of it and have to put the huge thing on a plate and try to cover it. I noticed Sam’s Club still had the plastic container, but the chicken was undercooked. We will go back to the Costco chickens, but I wish they had the plastic containers once again.
those new plastic bags for the rotisserie chicken really stink.
I agree with the conservation needs. BUT...How do you get the rotisserie chicken out of the bag? What a messy. endeavor.
Super messy and it's a tight fit. What they're saving on plastic, we're wasting at home by cleaning up the mess and extra saran.
I don’t like the chicken bag. I would cut the chicken as I needed it, put it back into the container. At the end I would strip the carcass to make soup and then threw out the whole thing after I used the bones for broth. This process is too messy with the bags.
I won’t be buying any chickens from Costco because of the bags. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it was a mess. Trying to get it out of the bag was a nightmare because the juices went everywhere. Even though I opened it up in the sink, my hands were covered with chicken grease and juices. I usually make a small amount of gravy from juice. Disposal of the bag was another nightmare all together.
Thank you Matt, for bringing us to Costco, and thinking about stuff other than politics. ❤
I dislike the chicken bags.
Likely to spill, messier to use than the plastic container. Not sure about keeping warm
OMG, the cheesecake. I am heading to the CO now. I have 7 things to purchase after your enlightening video. I can not master the art of package twirling like you. Love you.
Watching this from a Costco aisle, thanks! 😂
😂😂😂
I don’t like the chicken in the bag. I personally liked the other container.
Excellent presentation. I like that you label the price on the lower left corner. My favorites were the Adirondack chairs, the ladies name brand crinkle dresses on a velvet hanger, the new orange cheesecake, and tge tandoori chicken wraps. I love Costco! ❤
Hate the bags, the chicken is not protected, never had a “broken” chicken w/the hard containers.
I HATE that the chickens are now in bags. The chicken feels slimly when removed. The new packaging made the chicken so less appealing that I haven't purchased it again. Sometimes "eco" means "yucky".
I don't like the chicken bag it makes it hard to slice a peice of chicken without removing it from the bag
Hate the new rotisserie chicken bags. Bags are easier to carry the chicken out of the store but Once you get home, you have to constantly take the chicken out of the bag and then put it back in the bag unless you eat an entire chicken at one setting
Constantly? How often are eating the chicken? Like every five minutes, pull the bag out of the fridge, take a bite then put it back?
You can transfer the chicken from the bag to a casserole dish or pan.
I saw those rotisserie chickens in bags and thought "I wonder if they are now going to reduce the size of the chickens and disguise it?" I hope not!
FYI- They are a bit smaller compared to the size of the chickens they were selling previously.
They don't make anything on their chickens, so they might be willing to sell fewer. I think they actually lose money.
Although, I sadly think that thought has already happened to the bagged chickens? They seem abnormally small, almost like very young chickens compared to the monsters that took up the whole entire clamshell, leaving no room for error. Now those were chickens! Not to be even closely related to the chickens in the bags.
Hate the new Chicken bags- the last two I have purchased -leaked.
Your clerk at checkout should be offering you a box to put the chicken in 😮
I prefer the rotisserie chicken in the bag. It is easier to fit in the ice chest.
