5 Apparently Discontinued Costco Finds Shoppers Miss In 2026 (So Far)

With its amazing bulk deals, beloved Kirkland Signature products, and delicious food court offerings, most Costco members would be hard-pressed to name a big complaint about the warehouse chain — with one exception. Costco often takes away fan favorite items out of the blue, leaving shoppers peeved and disappointed. We've rounded up five potentially discontinued finds that are mentioned the most often in 2026.

We looked at input from Costco customers across the web to find out which long-gone food items they're still pining for. From discontinued snacks to scrumptious baked goods and frozen meal staples, shoppers wish they had a time machine to reclaim these old favorites. Some were even discontinued back in the 2010s, yet members are still hoping for a return.

There are several reasons why your favorite Costco items always seem to disappear, and sometimes it's not because of low sales. In fact, items that have leagues of fans often end up on Costco's chopping block, whether it's due to supplier issues, ingredient import costs, or simply because the product isn't turning a big profit. We don't know exactly why certain products disappear, and Costco rarely makes it clear if items are permanently discontinued, or have merely been out of stock for a while. We just know that shoppers will be overjoyed if the following items return someday — and if demand keeps building, perhaps Costco will take it into account.

Costco newcomers may have no idea that the Kirkland Signature Boston Cream Pie ever existed, but in its heyday, it was one of the most beloved Costco bakery items. Classic Boston cream pie pairs fluffy yellow cake with a rich custard filling topped with a chocolate ganache coating, and Costco's version was a big favorite among customers who remember it.

Sadly, this creamy, fluffy, chocolatey dessert hasn't been seen at Costco in years — in fact, its last run may have been over 15 years ago. "2010 is the last time I saw these," wrote one Redditor who has been longing for the Boston cream pies. Since its disappearance, many other customers have wondered if this bakery delight will return. Even shoppers who never tried the treat are disappointed that it's gone. "The fact that I never knew Costco made this and may never make it again leaves me feeling incomplete," one Reddit user said. 

With no signs of a return, some fans have tried to recreate Kirkland's Boston cream pie at home. Since the classic dessert doesn't vary much, you'd think this would be an easy job, but apparently not. "I tried making a Boston cream pie once and I didn't like it near as much as I remembered liking Costco's," said one disheartened user on Reddit. Despite being so simple, it's clear that this treat was something special to fans, leaving a big, round hole in their hearts.

Though Costco currently sells frozen turkey burgers by the brand Columbus, nothing can replace Kirkland Signature Turkey Burgers in the eyes of many shoppers. This discontinued Costco product we may never eat again was a convenient, healthy staple for fans. The patties were sold in generous 12-count bags and made with white meat turkey, rosemary extract, salt, and pepper. They could even be cooked straight from frozen in a matter of minutes.

One Reddit user said of these burgers, "I miss those so much. They were lean and flavorful and they were a super easy dinner. We had them at least once a week." Another user agreed, writing, "Even though it's been years, the fact these are gone still hurts." Several other commenters also mourned the product, calling it the best turkey burger on the market when it was sold.

Many fans have yet to discover a satisfying alternative to the Kirkland Signature turkey burgers, with one Costco member on Facebook writing, "I've never found anything even close to [them] since!" Customers have asked their local Costco staff why the burgers vanished, and while explanations vary, a few were told the product has been discontinued. This has led some to petition the chain to bring them back. Unless these turkey patties make a miraculous return, fans will keep longing for these tasty poultry patties.

Costco has offered a lot of different Kirkland Signature muffins over the years, and few are as missed as the Apple Crumb Muffins. These fruity, fluffy, comforting bites were around for quite a while, as grown-up Costco shoppers have called them a favorite childhood treat. That's why it's so sad that these muffins seem to have disappeared in 2024.

Kirkland Signature Apple Crumb Muffins were like a classic apple crisp in handheld form, with a moist crumb packed with apple and cinnamon flavors and a delicious streusel crumble topping. At one point, they also had an extra layer of crunchy oat crumbles on the bottom. Shortly before these muffins disappeared, you could buy two six-count packages for just $9.99, an amazing deal that Costco shoppers miss just as much as the muffins themselves.

Fans can't even fathom why these popular apple treats were yanked out of the bakery section, with some shoppers noting that it was the only muffin flavor they ever bought from Costco. One shopper on Reddit wrote, "I'd give anything to get those apple crumb muffins back." Another Redditor said, "Every time I see the pumpkin muffin or the coffee cake muffin, I get SO EXCITED thinking it's apple ... It never is. And I'm always sad." Though Costco has brought back many of its bakery items after a long absence, Apple Crumb Muffin fans are still waiting for their return.

Costco stocks an extensive selection of Kirkland Signature nuts to satisfy most customers' snacking needs. We say "most" because many shoppers have been missing the Kirkland Signature Extra Large Honey Roasted Peanuts. Countless Costco customers sang the praises of this sweet, salty, simple snack, but the iconic yellow cans began vanishing from shelves in the early 2020s.

In discussions about Costco items that should be brought back, many internet users name the Kirkland honey roasted peanuts as their number one pick. The peanuts' huge size and addictive flavor made them irresistible to fans. One shopper on Reddit called this snack the "best honey roasted peanuts EVER," while another user lamented, "finished 6 to 7 tubs on my own in a matter of months... then they got rid of it."

It's unclear if these peanuts were permanently discontinued or have simply been out of stock for years, but with no signs of a revival, the situation doesn't look promising for heartbroken fans. In 2024, Costco began stocking the similar Hampton Farms Honey Roasted Peanuts, so it's unlikely that the chain will bring back the Kirkland version of the product. The Hampton Farms nuts earned rave reviews from shoppers, so they seem like a decent replacement. Sometimes, you get attached to a special snack, and some Costco members still miss Kirkland's original Extra Large Honey Roasted Peanuts.

Sweet and chewy dried mangoes paired with rich dark chocolate sounds like a recipe for success, and Costco's Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes were indeed highly popular. Fans talked about how easy it was to down a whole bag of these dried fruits at an alarming pace. As one Reddit user said, "They taste great ... the chocolate kind of snaps and the mango is perfectly chewy." While devotees once called these a must-buy item at Costco, they eventually went missing.

In the last year customers have lamented that the Kirkland dark chocolate mangoes are nowhere to be seen in the snack section. Back in 2025, one Redditor posted a photo of the product's display, showing that the price tag had an asterisk, or "star of death," as Costco regulars call it. Costco's price tag asterisk doesn't always mean that an item will be discontinued forever, but it does mean that a product is going away soon. "My heart is breaking," the original Reddit poster wrote.

Though it appears Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes might still be sold at Costco locations in Canada. However, as of October 2026, reported sightings are a few months old. One customer on Facebook wrote, "I asked the other day and [the staff] said it was an inactive item, so who knows when or if it will come back." In time, all Costco shoppers may be out of luck when it comes to this fruity treat.
