Best group-stock-up value: Costco’s 12-piece 7Days vanilla box is about $1.08 per croissant before delivery, based on its $12.99 listing.
- A standalone $3 delivery charge raises that box to about $1.33 per piece and $0.50 per ounce before tax.
- Nongshim Ppang BuJang Salted Butter Roll is a separate salted-bread snack, with one 55 g bag per serving.
- Kroger’s four-count chocolate croissants list at $0.50 per ounce, with pickup available.
If a croissant-style snack seemed expensive at an import store, online value depends on the full cart cost, the amount in the pack, and whether the format fits your household or office. For a larger group, the 12-count 7Days vanilla box is the strongest documented stock-up buy in this comparison. A smaller 7Days chocolate bag suits a lower-quantity taste test, while Nongshim Ppang BuJang Salted Butter Roll offers a savory salted-bread snack rather than a soft filled croissant.
Compare the same measure before judging the price
A bag price and a per-piece price answer different questions. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's unit pricing guide recommends using the same unit for products in the same category, even when their package sizes or units differ. For these pastries, compare price per ounce to account for different piece sizes, then use price per piece to plan how many individual snacks the package supplies.
The delivery charge can change the winner. Add any order-specific fee to the item price before dividing by the package count or weight. A shipping threshold can also change the calculation, so a large box may be a better deal when it joins a planned grocery order than when it ships by itself.
1. Best for group stock-up: 7Days vanilla at Costco
The Costco 7Days Soft Baked Croissant, Vanilla Filling listing describes 12 individually wrapped croissants, each 2.65 ounces, for 31.8 ounces total. Its captured online price is $12.99, equal to about $1.08 per croissant and $0.41 per ounce before delivery.
Costco lists 2-Day Delivery at $3 and says there is no separate delivery fee on orders of $75 or more. For one box, Costco’s $12.99 listing plus its $3 2-Day delivery charge totals $15.99, or about $1.33 per croissant and $0.50 per ounce before tax. If a planned order reaches the $75 threshold, this box keeps its listed $1.08 per-piece and $0.41-per-ounce cost within that order.
Ordering two boxes under the same $3 delivery charge lowers the per-piece shipping share. The combined $28.98 item-and-delivery total for 24 croissants works out to about $1.21 each and $0.46 per ounce before tax, assuming both boxes ship together for one $3 fee. For a household or office, that two-box order spreads the delivery cost across twice as many individual snacks.
This is the best pick for offices, households, or gatherings that can use 12 individually wrapped pastries. The individual wrapping also makes it easy to hand out a piece at a time. For orders placed before noon local time, Costco lists a two-business-day delivery estimate; its schedule shows Monday orders arriving Wednesday.
2. Best for a smaller first buy: 7Days chocolate mini croissants
The Snackworks product page lists 7Days Soft Baked Mini Croissants with Chocolate Filling in a 6.53-ounce package. That is a much smaller total package weight than the 31.8-ounce Costco stock-up box, making it the lower-quantity format for a first taste or a smaller snack shelf.
At an assumed $5 bag price, the 6.53-ounce bag works out to about $0.77 per ounce before delivery. Against Costco’s roughly $0.50 per ounce for a box with its full $3 delivery charge assigned to it, that example costs about $0.27 more per ounce.
Snackworks lists wheat and milk among the ingredients and says the product may contain egg, which helps shoppers check whether the mini croissants fit their household.
3. Best savory alternative: Nongshim Ppang BuJang Salted Butter Roll
Nongshim Ppang BuJang Salted Butter Roll belongs in a separate savory-snack lane. Its savory salt-bread profile comes from real butter and salt; see the Nongshim USA ingredient list for the U.S. formulation. That taste profile makes it a fit for shoppers who want a salty butter snack rather than chocolate filling or a sweet pastry.
Nongshim USA identifies one 55 g bag as one serving on its Salted Butter Roll product page. The label lists 320 mg sodium and 9 g added sugars per bag and declares wheat, milk and soy. At about 1.94 ounces, one Ppang BuJang bag weighs less than a single 2.65-ounce Costco croissant; the bag is one complete snack serving.
Choose Ppang BuJang for a single serving with a savory salted-butter profile. Its salted-bread flavor fills a savory snack role, while the soft croissants suit shoppers looking for a sweet, filled pastry.
4. Best pickup chocolate option: Private Selection Chocolate Croissants
Kroger lists Private Selection Chocolate Croissants as a four-count, 12-ounce package at $0.50 per ounce. That unit price gives a calculated package total of $6 and a per-piece cost of $1.50. Each croissant averages 3 ounces by dividing the package weight by four.
The captured Kroger listing showed pickup available and Kroger Delivery unavailable. That makes this a useful local pickup comparison for a shopper who can collect groceries nearby.
Choose the Kroger pack when chocolate filling, four pieces, and local pickup suit the order. Choose the Costco multipack when the household will use 12 individually wrapped pieces and its delivery cost fits the larger grocery basket. Both calculations show why per-ounce cost and per-piece cost should sit side by side.
Which option has the best delivered value?
The best stock-up value is the 7Days vanilla box when its $3 delivery charge is shared across an order or waived at the $75 threshold. Costco’s vanilla multipack listing works out to about $0.41 per ounce at $12.99, or about $0.50 per ounce when its $3 2-Day fee is assigned to one box. The Kroger chocolate pack is also $0.50 per ounce, with pickup available, so it makes the more practical purchase for shoppers who want four chocolate croissants and can pick them up.

FAQ
Which option has the lowest listed price per piece?
The Costco 7Days vanilla multipack is about $1.08 per piece before delivery, based on its $12.99 price and 12-count package. Costco’s own listing adds $3 for 2-Day Delivery, bringing the one-box total to $15.99 and about $1.33 per croissant before tax.
Does the large multipack still save money after shipping?
At a standalone $3 delivery charge, the Costco box works out to about $0.50 per ounce, the same as Kroger's listed $0.50 per ounce. Costco's item price returns to about $0.41 per ounce when the order qualifies for the $75 threshold without a separate delivery fee.
How do I compare Ppang BuJang with croissant packs?
Use both serving and weight: Nongshim lists one 55 g bag as one serving, or about 1.94 ounces. Divide the price offered for that bag by 1.94 for cost per ounce, and compare one bag with the number of croissant pieces the household wants.
When should I choose the smaller 7Days chocolate mini bag?
Choose it when a 6.53-ounce quantity is a better first purchase than a 12-piece box. Divide the actual bag price by 6.53, then compare that cost per ounce with the delivered price of the larger package.
