LordofBroomsWhat's your most missed Costco item?
The onions for the hot dogs at the food court. I haven't bought a hot dog ever since they went away.
FirmRipI was at Costco a few weeks ago and saw someone pull out a small sandwich-sized bag of diced onions for their hot dogs.
I don’t have that level of planning or commitment, so I applaud this anonymous hero.
And sauerkraut
I’ve worn the same Grey socks for decades. I found out the last time I went that they weren’t there anymore. Very upset.
Growing up my family would get a box of bagel dogs every once in a while. To my teenage self those were just about the best thing ever.
More recently missing the berry smoothie.
CrylosRed velvet cupcakes.
The big bags of P.B. Bites they used to have. I don’t care if inflation made em expensive and they’re worried about sticker shock, the little cups of them they have at the grocery store are tiny and useless I tell you!
Chocolate/vanilla twist frozen yogurt from the food court. Mine only has vanilla now :[
The BBQ sandwich with coleslaw in it. Amazing and wish they brought that back!
Chicken Mini Tacos, they were great as a snack or a meal
I brought the most comfortable and warm jumper from there (funnily enough in the middle of summer) haven’t seen it being sold there since and it has been a year and a half. If I see them again, I’m buying 10 of them.
Kirkland Signature Aronia Berry Juice Cocktail
That shit was bomb with Cheez-Its
Cuz 
@LordofBrooms Italian sausage in the food court, for sure!
The big jars of Bonne Maman mixed berry jam. Can’t find them anymore.
They still have them at the Raleigh, NC store. I saw pineapple passion fruit there for the first time yesterday.
Austin still has these. I wish they carried the raspberry.
This might be nostalgia talking, but I liked having the photo center. Maybe they could do a small updated one in their stores?
Very recently I fell in love with the Bequet salted caramels but they must have been a limited time item because they don’t have them anymore. They were so good!
So I don’t get it, what caused these menu items to go away related to the pandemic?
During the pandemic, there were many supply chain shortages. Unfortunately, this included many of the ingredients for certain products. The products remained unavailable for a good while, but were never brought back.
skepticaliforniaAround 2019, my local Costco had these frozen, pre-cooked beef ribs in a box, located close to the frozen pizzas that were phenomenal - throw them on the grill for a few minutes, and it was like sitting down in the best BBQ restaurant.
After about 6 months, they just weren’t there any longer and I still look to see if they will reappear but no luck so far. I can’t remember the brand name…
Chocolate cake. The cupcakes are good, but the cake was great.
Kirkland disinfecting wipes, the big ones, slightly rough Tencel cloth (good for scrubbing), in the soft pack. They have been gone since Covid.
The Clorox ones are too small, don’t scrub well, and don’t dispense well from the hard plastic canister.
Keep in mind a lot of these wipes are made from polyester, which doesn’t biodegrade.
