9 Popular Costco Items That You Won’t Find in 2025

Since I live in Seattle, shopping at Costco is shopping local. The chain is based in the nearby city of Issaquah, and its house brand, Kirkland, is named for a Seattle suburb. One of the reasons I love my neighbor is the sheer variety of items in each store. I’ve gone to Costco for patio furniture, baby clothes, books, mixing bowls, a folding table for parties—oh, and food, too.

Because Costco has so many items, it can’t keep offering them all forever. Things come and go at Costco, and sometimes there’s zero warning that a product will be discontinued. Thankfully, Costco sells most of its items in enormous, are-you-running-a-daycare sizes, so you won’t run out soon.

Here’s a closer look at nine items that are no longer reliably sold at Costco.

Croissant Sandwich Platter

The best party item ever is Costco’s croissant sandwich platter. Ten Costco croissants made into turkey, ham and roast beef sandwiches, sliced into three pieces each and served with tubs of mustard and mayo.

I used to buy this for my annual Christmas cookie swap party every December, but it’s been gone for at least two years. When I asked about it, I was pointed to the pinwheel platter and a deli platter offering cold cuts and cheese, but you’d need to buy rolls or croissants separately. If the croissant sandwich platter ever returns, I swear, they will hear me cheering from my home in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood all the way over at the Issaquah headquarters.

Kirkland Chocolate Chips

Everyone needs a stash of chocolate chips in the pantry, whether for cookies, bars or snacking. Unfortunately, Reader’s Digest reports that Costco has ditched its own brand of chocolate chips due to rising cocoa prices. The warehouse only stocks Nestle chocolate morsels now.

Roast Beef Sandwich

Costco’s food court offerings change regularly—too often for some shoppers’ liking. The roast beef sandwich is now gone from the food court, but no matter; the iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo remains.

Churros

I love me some churros. The tasty, sweet sticks of twisted fried dough are a sugary delight I mostly associate with state fairs. But Costco’s food court sold them until 2024, making for a yummy after-shopping reward. It’s possible they’ll return—they have in the past. In the meantime, here’s where to find a Costco churro dupe.

Berry Smoothie

People adored Costco’s food court berry smoothie. But according to The Takeout and Reddit commenters, it’s gone and has been replaced with a strawberry-banana version.

Kirkland Country French Bread

Costco’s bakery is surprisingly good for a big-box store. One of shoppers’ favorite items was the Kirkland Signature Brand Country French Bread, but according to a Reddit user who inquired at their Costco bakery, it’s been discontinued.

‘Cooking the Costco Way’ Cookbooks

It’s only natural that Costco would compile recipes for the foods it sells. The chain used to give out free cookbooks, dubbed Cooking the Costco Way, every Black Friday. Costco doesn’t do that anymore, but you can still read recipes in the Costco Connection magazine.

Red Grapefruit Cups

I’m a huge fan of grapefruit, whether in juice, salads or just the fruit itself. Costco sells a variety of its own Kirkland Signature brand fruit cups, but the store has discontinued its red grapefruit cups, a fact that a Reddit user confirmed with Costco staff.

Store-Brand Eggs That Aren’t Cage-Free

This one is actually good news! Costco no longer offers store-brand eggs from caged chickens. As you know if you’ve read the news lately, eggs are a hot item—expensive and hard to find thanks to a devastating bird flu outbreak. Costco sells eggs in typical huge Costco quantities—five dozen—and I usually pick them up for my annual Easter egg-dyeing party. It’s good to know that if I’m able to get my eggs there this year, they likely won’t be from caged hens.
