There’s no denying that shopping at Costco will always be a one-of-a-kind experience. More often than not, you’ll end up buying more than what you initially came for. (Yup, we can totally relate!) From bakery items to furniture, and even household appliances, Costco pretty much has a lot to offer. The best part? Their items are sold at affordable prices and they usually come in bulk, so you definitely get your money’s worth!
However, the sad reality is that not all of their items last on the shelves forever. Due to certain factors, some products get discontinued, without the potential of making a comeback. Below are just a few examples of fan-favorite Costco items that are no longer available in the warehouses. Keep reading to know more.
Kirkland Signature Mini Peanut Butter Cups
The Kirkland Signature Mini Peanut Butter Cups were definitely a yummy treat for all dessert-lovers! If you had a sweet tooth, chances are this item always ended up in your shopping cart. Unfortunately, the big-box store company decided to discontinue selling this product. According to Eat This, Not That!, "While these tiny candies haven't made a comeback yet, Costco offers a nice salty swap with their Signature Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets."
All-Beef Polish Sausage
Mashed reported in a 2019 article that "in the summer of 2018, Costco made a move that caused major backlash: They revamped the food court menu and did away with one of the most popular offerings—the all-beef Polish sausage—which had been a long-standing option in that famous $1.50 combo." It's been years since the menu changed, but Costco fans are still pretty heartbroken with this decision. A 2021 Reddit post shows that it's actually one of the Costco items that they miss the most.
Half-Sheet Cakes
In a 2020 article published by Today, it was confirmed that Costco officially stopped selling their beloved half-sheet cakes. The big-box store announced in an official statement to Today, "We are currently not selling our 1/2 sheet cakes at any US locations and as of right now, we have no immediate plans to bring them back. We are focusing on our smaller 10" White & 10" Chocolate Cakes that seem to be resonating with our members."
