After an extended disappearance during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and rumors that they had been permanently discontinued, Costco’s popular Organic Pine Nuts are finally back on the shelf. However, the price has gone up a bit, to the dismay of some customers.
Pricing
Prior to 2020, a 1.5-lb bag of Organic Pine Nuts at Costco could be found for just $23, which is significantly cheaper than what can be found elsewhere. However, since the product was reintroduced, that price has increased by about $12. As we will dig into below, Costco still offers a majorly competitive price on organic pine nuts, even with the higher price tag.
Each 1.5-lb bag of Organic Pine nNuts at Costco is currently available for $34.99, making these pine nuts a whopping $23.33 per pound.
But before you bat your eye at this price, keep in mind that the average market price for organic pine nuts in 2023 is around $40 per pound, making this Kirkland Signature option a great deal.
Compare this to the price available through BJ’s Wholesale Club, where they charge almost $30 per pound for their Wellsley Farms Organic Pine Nuts.
Keep in mind that if you buy your Kirkland Signature Pine Nuts on Costco.com, you will pay a few dollars more ($40.99 per bag).
