The pie size and weight seem to vary from cheesecake to cheesecake, with the average being close to 6 pounds. With that much cheesecake, it may seem like a good deal, but the cheesecakes also carry a whopping price to match. The prices for the cheesecake have ranged from $19.99 for 5.63 pounds (or 90-oz) to $22.99 for a cheesecake that’s 5.10 pounds.
The price was a source of contention for some shoppers considering the dessert. One person wrote on Reddit, “I love cherry topping too and feel like everyone always has strawberries instead … but dang that expensive!” Another commented, “It totally works for me that I am more cheap than fat because I would eat cheesecake every day if it wasn’t so expensive.”
Whether the cheesecake is a good deal likely depends on your situation. On average, serving sizes range from 1 to 4 ounces per person for cheesecake. Likewise, cheesecake begins to lose its quality after about a week in the fridge. So, if you have a small family or are a single individual, you may find it difficult to put the cheesecake away before it ends up in the bin. The cheesecake is just the latest super-sized dessert that Costco is selling, with the chain previously offering a chocolate cake that weighed a mega-size 7 pounds and a peanut butter pie fit for a family.
