Goodbye Forever! Costco Is Pulling These Beloved Items From Stores

Costco is one of the most iconic and nifty big box retailers to shop at, and their stores carry a wide variety of products that shoppers rave about online. As reported by Eat This, Not That! some of our favorite Costco items simply cannot last forever, and the warehouses use a method that many customers have deemed the “death star.”

When an item is about to be discontinued, the publication notes that shoppers may find a “small asterisk in the top right-hand corner of its price tag.” This ultimately signals that the item will not be restocked once sold out. Popular YouTube channel Gina’s Shopping Life (which often covers Costco-related information and savings deals) just uploaded a round-up of Costco items that contain the star, and that will soon unfortunately be absent from shelves:

In the YouTuber’s video, the content creator explained that the following products were marked with the dreaded star:

Log Cabin Original Syrup (which used to be sold in packs of two 64-ounce jugs) and is now discounted to $7.49 each while supplies lastHershey’s Simply 5 Syrup (similarly and formerly sold in packs of two), and remaining packs are $10.69Carapelli Unfiltered Organic EV Olive OilBig Tree Farm Organic Coco Aminos Teriyaki Sauce & MarinadeKellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats (Gina’s video showed 70-ounce boxes that include two bags of the cereal), sold for $8.99

In addition, Costco shopper @costco.hotbuys noted that the Roncadin Sopressata Pizza item was found in another round-up of starred clearance items.

YouTube channel The Deal Guy also told viewers that Alden’s Organic Root Beer Float Ice Cream Bars were marked as well.

Instagram user @costcobffs revealed that in a Costco San Francisco location, they found that the following dumpling products would disappear from shelves: Pulmuone Chicken Dumpling and Thai Basil Dumpling from the same brand.

According to customer and Instagrammer @danthecostcoman, Costco’s snack options aren’t safe from the devastating star or asterisk, either. The following sweet and salty snacks will soon be gone from the store’s shelves:
