Went to Costco for a quick trip and stumbled on fresh 10# bellies @ 2.29lb no rind. Never seen it @ Costco b4 let alone for 2.29. Anywhere between 3.50-4.00 a lb is the average. Fresh bacon in a week or so. wink
 
Yes 192 wink

Meat guy said they been selling it for about a month and very popular. Of course it's popular, it's BACON!............lol
 
This time I cut in 1/2 . Garage frig just went south, or it would have been whole.
 
Im going on Saturday to see if my local Costco has it.  I hope so.  I need some fatty pork for my first attempt at some sausages.
 
Picked one up at the Costco in Santa Cruz, Ca last Tuesday. I'll check again tomorrow afternoon on the way to work. Might be a west coast Costco item only.

Half of it is destined tp be smoked in the WSM this Thursday.

Busy weekend of work and travel(Ca Wine Festival Santa Barbara Fri-Sat, Paso Robles event on Sun). Planning on making a pork belly dinner for my friends in Paso Robles on Saturday night.

Confirmed now at:

Vancouver, Wa - both stores

Hillsboro, Or

Tigard, Or

Santa Cruz, Ca

So it's spreading.  Costco usually starts new products out in Seattle (Kirkland) area, then spreads out from there, so the further you guys are from Costco's home, the longer it may take to get it there, but it might be worth asking someone in charge at the store, and mention the west coast is getting them.

Good luck, so far everything I've seen and people I've talked to are impressed with the quality they are seeing, hopefully taste will be as good.
 
Snagged another today in Santa Cruz, CA. From the varying packaging dates, this looks to be a regularly stocked item.

4.5 lbs bathing in a maple bourbon marinade...

...to be smoked on Thursday...

All of the pork bellies over 10 lbs were $2.29/lb and all under 10 lbs, were $1.99/lb.
