Sometimes, the best finds in the Costco aisles are the ones you didn’t go in for. On December 18, 2025, I swung by my local warehouse with a simple mission: replace a container of fancy peanuts my son had polished off. But as any Costco veteran knows, you rarely leave with just one thing.
Working retail is a marathon. Between the manual labor and being on your feet all day, the hunger hits hard. Personally, I’m the type who prefers to power through my shift—I find that if I actually sit down for a full lunch, it’s twice as hard to get my “old ass” back up and moving again! I prefer to just power through my shifts without sitting down. I need something quick, portable, and substantial enough to keep the engine running without the post-sugar-crash slump.
I usually grab standard granola or nut bars, but this visit told me to try something new. So, I picked out this RXBAR No B.S. Nut Butter & Oats two-flavor combo box.

The Breakdown: Value and Variety
As usual, I like to remind myself of the time, date, and cost of the items I’m reviewing. I hope it helps you in some small way too. This box of 14 bars was $17.99. Let’s round up and call it $18.00; this puts the unit cost around **$1.29 per bar**. Side note, this is the last year the United States Mint is producing the Lincoln cent. 🙁 I imagine retailers will start rounding up prices in the near future also.
The box features two distinct flavors:
-
Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter (My personal favorite!)
-
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter

The Taste Test: Hard Work for the Blog!
I bet you’re asking how I selected the Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter bar as my favorite if this is the first time I’ve had them. Well, that is a good question! In order to write and photograph the work for this article, naturally, I had to open each one and taste the product.
Food photography is hard work, man. But it was worth it considering I’ve been eating a lot of yogurt for those Chobani reviews lately. Having a nice, dense energy bar was a great switch.
The texture is exactly what you want from a “No B.S.” bar—substantial and satisfying. The Honey Cinnamon stands out because it has a warmth to it that the Dark Chocolate (while good!) just doesn’t match for me.
Final Thoughts
Yes, I’d buy these again and yes, I’m looking forward to having a quick snack to bring with me for my short breaks at work. These bars fit the convenience factor perfectly and taste just fine.
Working retail means I don’t always have the luxury of a slow lunch, and these RXBARs have become a genuine lifesaver for those “power-through” shifts. At about $1.29 per bar, the value from Costco is hard to beat, especially when you consider you’re getting 10g of protein and real, recognizable ingredients like egg whites and oats.
