Pine nuts

It's time to make pesto.  Where have you found pine nuts for not a crazy price?

Re: Pine nuts

  • Pine nuts have always been expensive in my experience.  I even remember taking a cooking class in high school and the teacher talking about how expensive they were.

    I have found them at Meijer in the baking aisle with other nuts.

    This is where I get them as well.  I haven't looked elsewhere though, so I don't know how Meijer's prices compare.

  • They are always expensive, but the best price I found last summer was at Meijers in the produce section.  They were vacuum packed.  Then they were in the back of the section, kinda near the garlic.

  • We get them at Meijer, too.  I usually find them in a couple of different areas there - baking and hidden on an endcap in the produce area.  One of those places has a container that's cheaper than the other, but I can't remember which it is. 

    Costco might have them, too, if you're a member.  I keep meaning to check there.

     

  • I've been buying mine at Kingma's.  They're on the wall of stuff up front (with the nuts).   I can't remember how much my container cost.

    Oh, yeah... that's where I found it at Meijer this year too!

    Christian used walnuts instead, to save money. The taste is just about the same, believe it or not. I hate walnuts, so I was mad until I tried it.

    I use walnuts as well in order to save money. I can barely taste the difference!

  • I've heard Costco carries them too (hit up GVSU to take you. HA!). Horrocks always has a good price. The last time I bought my stash I got them at Mediterranean Island on Kalamazoo by 44th Street.
