Costco, known for its bulk deals and low prices, has quietly increased costs on several popular items. These changes reflect broader economic pressures and supply chain shifts impacting consumers. Here’s a breakdown of five fan favorites that have become more expensive, and what shoppers are paying now.
Kirkland Signature Colombian Supremo Coffee: Rising Bean Costs
The price of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Colombian Supremo Coffee has jumped from around $13.99 to over $23 in many stores. This increase mirrors a global trend: climate-related issues in coffee-growing regions and rising export costs are driving up wholesale prices. Coffee is a global commodity, and disruptions in production directly translate to higher retail costs.
Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Almonds: A Sweetening Price Tag
Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Almonds, a Costco staple, have also seen significant price hikes. Customers in Canada report the 1.5-kilogram bag going from $17 to over $30 CAD (approximately $24.99 USD). This reflects broader inflation in food products, particularly those with ingredients sourced internationally.
Kirkland Signature Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon: Higher Seafood Costs
The price of Kirkland Signature Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon has risen from around $26.99–$29.99 to over $45 for a three-pound bag. Wild-caught salmon is subject to seasonal availability and environmental factors, which can cause price volatility. Demand for sustainable seafood also plays a role, as stricter fishing regulations can limit supply.
Kirkland Signature Orange Juice: A Less Juicy Deal
Kirkland Signature Orange Juice, once a bargain at under $10 for a two-pack of 59-fluid-ounce jugs, now costs around $14.99. Citrus crops are highly susceptible to weather events (hurricanes, freezes) that disrupt production and drive up prices. Global supply chains for orange juice also face logistical challenges.
Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants: Small Increase, Big Impact
Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants have increased from $5.99 to $6.80 for a 12-count box. While seemingly small, this reflects a broader trend of increased input costs for baked goods (flour, butter, labor). Costco’s pricing remains competitive, but the change shows even staple items aren’t immune to inflation.
Prices are accurate as of March 18, 2026, but availability and final cost may vary by location. These changes highlight the increasing financial pressure on consumers, even at retailers known for value.
