From the beloved Polish hot dog to Kirkland soy milk and the twin French loaves, these are five discontinued Costco favorites that longtime members are still asking about — and the workarounds worth knowing.
1. Costco Food Court Polish Hot Dog
Price: $1.50 combo (matched the all-beef hot dog) · Discontinued: 2018 · Substitute: No true U.S. substitute; Kirkland Signature Polish sausages are the closest at-home stand-in. Canadian Costco food courts still serve the original.
A snappier, spicier alternative to the plain all-beef dog that longtime members treated as the smarter food court order. A community petition drew more than 8,800 signatures, and shoppers keep asking Costco to bring it back every time the food court menu is refreshed.
2. Kirkland Signature Organic Soy Milk (12-pack, 32 oz cartons)
Price: About $18.49 for a 12-pack (~$1.54 per 32 oz carton) · Discontinued: 2025 · Substitute: No true value match. Silk and Trader Joe’s organic soy milk are the closest flavor matches but cost 2 to 3 times more per ounce.
For plant-based and lactose-intolerant shoppers, this was the cheapest organic soy milk in the country. Community feedback threads keep asking for its return, saying no supermarket brand matches the price or the taste in coffee and protein shakes.
3. Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (4.5 lb bag)
You May Be Interested In
Price: About $8.99 for the 4.5 lb bag · Discontinued: 2024 · Substitute: Nestle Toll House and Ghirardelli bulk bags are available but run roughly 30 to 40 percent more per pound.
The holiday baking staple. Longtime bakers relied on the oversized bag for cookies, banana bread and homemade bark, and community feedback has been steady since the removal — shoppers say the Kirkland chips melted more smoothly and cost far less per pound.
4. Kirkland Signature Country French Bread (twin loaf)
Price: About $4.99 for a two-loaf pack · Discontinued: 2025 · Substitute: The current Rustic Italian loaf at roughly $6.99 for a single loaf is the nearest option, but longtime members say it isn’t the same bread.
A bakery anchor for 20-plus years. Members used it for sandwiches, French toast, garlic bread and dinner sides. Shoppers keep asking about it because the replacement Rustic Italian loaf is smaller, pricier and doesn’t have the same soft-crumb texture.
5. Kirkland Signature Frozen Four Cheese Ravioli
Price: Historically about $9.99 for the large freezer bag · Discontinued: Roughly 2013 (feedback continuous since) · Substitute: Rana refrigerated ravioli (currently stocked at Costco) is the closest option, but it’s fresh not frozen and costs noticeably more per serving.
One of the most-requested returns in Costco history. Families used the big freezer bag as a 15-minute weeknight dinner. Longtime members have been asking for its return for more than a decade — it still shows up on nearly every ‘bring it back’ list shoppers submit.
