One Costco favorite was so beloved that a Change.org petition was created to bring it back.
But what other gone-too-soon Kirkland goodies do shoppers want to see return to Costco shelves?
Remember when you could come home from a Costco haul with a big pizza ready to pop
into the oven? So do we, and we're sad that we can't still do exactly that. We're feeling
wistful for the good old days back before Costco stopped selling Kirkland take-and-bake pizza.
It was so awesome to be able to swing by a refrigerated case in Costco and
pick up that night's dinner in the form of a quick-cooking pizza. It
required no prep work other than sticking it into
a preheated oven upon your arrival home from a day of warehouse club shopping.
You can still get Kirkland brand pizza in Costco,
but only from the freezer case. Frozen is fine, but take-and-bake was just so quick and easy.
Turkey burgers have a reputation for being dry and more than a bit bland,
but that wasn't the case with the Kirkland brand frozen turkey burgers that Costco used to carry.
People really seemed to enjoy these frozen turkey burger patties, but that didn't prevent them from
being discontinued. Some Costco customers were so upset that they started an unsuccessful
Change.org petition to try to convince the retail giant to bring back this item.
You can still get turkey burgers from Costco — the store now carries 10-pound packages of
Rastelli's Antibiotic-Free Turkey Craft Burgers.
"This is not just a turkey burger. This is a turkey breast burger.”
“Okay."
Customer reviews seem to generally be positive, so even though we'd love to see Kirkland brand
turkey burger patties make a comeback, we're willing to give this brand a try.
Kirkland Trek Mix was a tasty protein-packed snack that was perfect any time of day. It was
just right for yummy and healthy movie munching and provided energy-reviving
motivation for long hikes, road trips, or study sessions. Trek Mix was a great sweet
and salty snack that included a combination of various kinds of nuts, seeds, dried fruit,
granola, and even chocolate chips. Sure, you can still get Kirkland brand trail mix at Costco,
but it's just not the same as the Kirkland Trek Mix that the retailer used to carry.
The cheese section at Costco is a little slice of heaven for true cheese lovers.
But it became a bit less heavenly when Kirkland French Comté cheese was discontinued. Don't get
us wrong — the cheese section at Costco is still awesome. You can still satisfy
your taste for European semi-hard cheese from Costco's cheese section with Kirkland
Manchego cheese — which hails from Spain. If only we could enhance our charcuterie
boards with Kirkland brand French Comté and Manchego, then we'd be truly happy.
Can you purchase peanut butter cups at Costco? Yes, you can. Costco carries the
same Reese's peanut butter cups that you can buy anywhere candy is sold,
in a variety of sizes. However, if you were a fan of Kirkland brand peanut butter cups
at Costco and are looking for them, we're sorry to have to let you know
that these mini chocolaty/peanutty delights have been discontinued.
Costco is a great place to buy protein bars. The store has a nice selection of Kirkland brand
protein bars, as well as other brands. However, if you go there in search of Kirkland Cinnamon Roll
Protein Bars, you won't find what you're looking for. That's because Kirkland stopped offering the
cinnamon roll flavor back in 2018. We're not sure why, but we wish it was still available.
We'd love to see Kirkland bring back its cinnamon roll flavor of protein bar, because what's not to
love about a protein-packed snack that tastes like a cinnamon roll? We may never know, but
we can harbor hope that one day this variety will be added back to Kirkland's line of protein bars.
Until then, we'll just all have to be happy with
the current collection of flavors, which includes chocolate brownie,
chocolatey chunks cookie dough, cookies and cream, and chocolate peanut butter chunk.
If you're looking for cooking oil, Costco is a great place to shop. It
carries several Kirkland brand cooking oils, including canola, coconut and
olive oils. It also used to carry a wonderful Mediterranean Blend Oil in the Kirkland line,
but — sadly — that product has been discontinued. Kirkland Mediterranean
Blend Oil was great for cooking as well as for making salad dressing, and it was really
convenient to be able to purchase a blend that worked well for such a wide variety of uses.
Are you getting enough greens in your diet? If not, drinking green juice can be a great
option. In the past, Costco shoppers could rely on Kirkland Organic Greens Juice for a
tasty way to drink some of their greens, but that's not the case anymore. Sure,
there are other green juices on the market, but they don't all taste the same.
Some green juices are much better than others and — according to customers lamenting the loss
of this Kirkland product — this was one of the best-tasting ones on the market. Not only that,
some who enjoyed the product indicated that it helped them with digestive problems,
according to Complaints Board.
"Tequila is my lady!"
Last but not least, let's chat about discontinued Kirkland liquor. When
you're looking for great prices on spirits, Costo is a great place to
shop — assuming you live in a state where grocery retailers can sell hard liquor.
Costco carries private-label Kirkland Signature liquor, and you can find just
about anything you might need to put together a fully stocked bar on the shelves at Costco.
What you can't find there anymore, though, is Kirkland Signature Silver Tequila. We're
not too surprised, as Kirkland Signature Silver Tequila earned a nod as one of the worst in our
overview of the best and worst Kirkland liquors to buy at Costco. Even so, this tequila had a low
price point and worked okay for making margaritas, so a comeback wouldn't be a bad idea. While you're
waiting to see if that happens, you can find higher-end and better-tasting tequila at Costco.
