The Worst Costco Products Customers Say You Should Never Buy: ‘So Disgusting’

Costco is very popular among shoppers for their wholesale deals, great prices, and delicious food items. However, the grocery store chain is catching some flak for a number of products that have missed the mark lately. We scoured numerous Reddit threads to get the opinions of customers on the worst products to buy at Costco.

Rotisserie Chicken

Though the rotisserie chicken for sale at Costco is sold at a great price ($4.99) and has become a fan favorite for many, recently, it seems to have been on the decline. One Reddit user noted that it had a “distinct chemical flavor” and others agreed, saying it tasted “chemically and soapy.”

Other people posted that they’ve “noticed a distinct chlorine-like taste” and that theirs often taste “like the plastic they’re packaged in.”

One person, who claims they’re in the “top 1% of rotisserie chicken consumers” says that she’s had that chemical “happen every now and then” and has learned that “the smaller chickens taste better.” There’s a tip for shoppers!

Kevin’s Natural Foods Brand

In a Reddit thread titled “Kevin’s Korean BBQ is soooo bad,” customers shared their bad experiences with the Kevin’s Natural Foods brand. Speaking on the Korean BBQ, the user shared that “it tastes horrible” because “the sauce does not have enough flavor or sweetness” and “meat texture is horrific.”

Another user agreed, writing that they have tried almost all the products the brand has released and “they are all awful.”

“I’ve found all the Kevin’s stuff we’ve tried from Costco to be incredibly disappointing,” another customer shared.

“The general consensus is that Kevin doesn’t have taste buds,” a fourth user posted.

Realgood’s Chicken Grande Enchiladas With Tomatillo Sauce

Another frozen food that has missed the mark with Costco customers is Realgood’s chicken grande enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. One Redditor voiced the opinion of many, writing, “Costco, WTF were you thinking? 0 out of 5 stars.”

Another shopper agreed, writing, “The sauce is nothing close to a real tomatillo sauce—it’s watery, needs salt, they don’t even taste roasted, and doesn’t have the subtle lime taste tomatillo sauce is known for.”

“Absolute trash,” another comment reads. “Seriously, the chicken filling was bland and didn’t even taste like chicken.”

“Sooooo gross!” a final fan wrote.

Don Lee Farms Crispy Shredded Chicken Tacos

One user recommends avoiding Don Lee Farms’ crispy shredded chicken tacos, describing the meal as “so disgusting” and saying the taste is enough “to make you puke.”

The replies to this original post are mixed, with some customers saying they’re actually not bad if you put them in the air fryer, but others saying, “Don’t do it!”

“They’re a decent snack if done in the air fryer and dressed up a little,” one user wrote.

“Not gonna lie, I loved these things out of the air fryer!” another added.

But another user replied, “These were greasy trash.” Looks like you’ll have to try them for yourself to decide.
