COSTCO has discontinued over 30 items this year across the aisles, including kitchenware to deserts.

See what products shoppers are now mourning at the wholesale store, and why there’s even more bad news coming for Costco fans.

Costco will often place a black asterisk on the shelf tag to indicate that a product is soon being discontinued.

For these items, it’s already too late.

Let’s dive into which products are gone for good in 2023.

KITCHEN PRODUCTS

Several kitchen items have been discontinued at the store already, and the news was shared by Instagram user @costco.love in February.

DRINK GARNISHES

When you need party supplies, they aren’t many better places than Costco.

But if you’re planning on stirring up a cocktail anytime soon, you won’t be able to find blue cheese olives or wild amarena cherries from the brand Filthy anymore.

SMALL BITES AND ENTREES

You may have lost some of your go-to nibbles too.

So have these more healthy options, according to @costco_clearance_queen.

“These all look so yummy though,” moaned one on Instagram.

SWEET RELIEF

Several sweet treats have been deserted in the wake of Valentine’s Day.

Hopefully, you didn’t catch feelings for the following:

KIDS’ SNACKS

@costco_clearance_queen also reported that the following kids’ fruit cups have been scrapped.

ICE POPS

It appears JonnyPops Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Pops was a Valentine’s-only item too - this product got the black asterisk treatment in mid-February.

“Such a good flavor, and so sad to see it go,” wrote one Costco fan under a recent Instagram post by @costcobffs.

JUICE

Costco fans were also heartbroken to see Caribe Cold Pressed Passion Fruit Guava drinks leave the shelves for good last month.

@costcobffs mourned the news, begging the store: “Don't take my Caribe juice away, Costco!”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Costco for comment on its changing product offering.

OTHER ITEMS

But discontinued items aren’t the only matter troubling Costco fans of late.

The store is known for its generous free samples, handed out by staff in-store.

But recently, shoppers were concerned after images circulating on social media showed samples being distributed via a machine instead.

On a Reddit thread for Costco shoppers, one described the machine as “the Costco version of the Halloween ‘take one’ bowl.”

“Watch and prepare to lose faith in humanity,” said the fan.

“People are definitely going to just take a bunch without a person there,” another suggested.

Costco declined to provide a further explanation to The U.S. Sun.

Customers at Costco could also soon be expecting price raises, according to the company’s chief financial officer.

Meanwhile, competitor Sam’s Club is offering a $25 membership deal that is “like getting your membership for half price.”
