100% agree about the artisan/ciabatta bread and pizza. I used to buy this bread and pizza weekly. As for the olive oil, the price went up by 100%. I remember paying $9.95 then $12.95 and now it has gone up to $24.95. And I wish they would bring back the old croissant. I'd rather pay more for a quality product and pay less for unappetizing, inferior quality.

But then, when an entrepreneur starts a business and brings back the old taste or style and call it "improved," people flock to the business and the business flourishes. Eventually, corners are cut to cut costs and people start complaining. And the cycle starts all over.
I don't know if its me or the manufactures but so many foods just do not taste right anymore. I am doing a lot of baking and cooking at home now. Its not just the cost but the taste seems to be off. I thought it was just me and my taste buds

It's the glyphosate. Most Coctco foods now have glyphosate. To show their support for Monsanto, Costco also puts Roundup right next to theri food section.
Kirkland EVOO has an ingredient label that makes me not purchase it. The source of the processed oil is more than six countries. That raises my concerns about consistency. I prefer a single source, ideally California or Italy. When the label says “from Italian grown olives” or “traceable chain of Italian origin,” it means that the olives were grown in Italy then shipped out to other countries for processing and refining. That can make a huge impact on quality. I’ll buy my EVOO at the market in smaller quantities that are labeled with a production date. Oxidized olive oil is unhealthy and can cause inflammation.

There is something up with those Costco chicken. First the are saltier and bigger than the rotisserie chickens I buy at the grocery store and Walmart. Also, when I’m cutting meat off of the Costco chicken, I give my dog a piece of the chicken. My dog gets sick almost every time I give him the Costco chicken. If you ask me, it’s whatever brine they are using. I will just stick to the grocery stores smaller less salty chickens.

The Kirkland brand starts out in a category of interest by partnering with national brands to package their products disguised under the Kirkland labels. For example, Starbucks roasts some coffees sold as Kirkland. After a few years, Costco wants a higher margin and they don’t want to pay for the reputable national brand anymore. So Costco takes over production and starts making the products themselves. That’s when consumers notice the drop in quality, changes in texture and odd tastes. Costco is skilled at buying high quality items and getting great prices out of national brands. However, Costco is simply not great at producing their own products in all categories. They seem to trade savings over quality when they take over from the national brands. It will be their undoing.

Well, the switch to plastic bag from the box for their $4.99 chicken has nothing to do with environmental concerns but EVERYTHING to do with profits! The chickens are MUCH smaller now hiding in the cheap bag that one can’t judge easily. Another win for Business Consultants/MBAs. Costco saved even more $ now, don’t have to subsidize the 🐔, I stopped buying it. The downhill trend started with dropping the Polish Hot Dog, and the elimination of the Combo Pizza

All food taste different.
Years ago, I heard that Costco had olive oil that was pretty good overall. I don’t go there anymore so I don’t really know but nothing would surprise me. Anymore we can’t just keep going and shopping for the things that we always bought because things are changing and we notice the taste the texture. We don’t buy a lot of baked goods but occasional treat something small like a one person type thing for and we get two of them because we just don’t eat a lot of bakery items, but I’ve noticed a difference.
Publix's cakes and bakery breads taste different after the pandemic.

I have noticed that some of the baked goods are not nearly as good as they were a year ago. The croissants are acceptable, but the cookies for the most part are barely acceptable. The piecrust, and indeed the pie fillings are not the same. They are definitely not putting butter in their piecrust anymore, and the filling seems exceptionally bland Now it is to the point that I am reluctant to buy their pies at all. In 😮addition at the Costco close to my house, I was having a problem with the produce not being fresh and beginning to spoil within 2 to 3 days within my refrigerator. I paid $1500 for the refrigerator from Costco. So they could not claim it was my refrigeration, after I inquired about complaining to headquarters, I gave them another try and their produce is lasting longer now.
A few years ago I noticed that not only do the roasted chicken taste different, they’re huge now like a hen🤢🥴
I agree with everything covered in this video. I purchased on bag of the mixed nuts and it seems most of the nuts were almonds and peanuts. Got stale at about the half bag level. Bread, could never finish it..that bad. Don't forget the prices. Pies and cakes start at $18. The $5.99 pumpkin pie is the winner of all of them.
They may be trying to cut cost in attempt to keep the prices the same but quality loss is never an option for me. For some things, I would be willing to pay a little more if the quality stays the same. One thing at Costco that really jumped up in price is their 2lb package of smoked pulled pork, which taste phenomenal but it was $10.99 a year ago, then it jumped to $12.99 and now it's $14.99. I used to buy it 2-3 times per month, but with the price jump I very seldom buy it now.
I like the jars the cashews and chocolate covered raisins come in. I repurpose the containers to hold my snacks and use the top with the lids on them to dispense kitty treats for my family of three cats. Last time in the store I noticed that the container holding roterise chicken was changed to a bag. I stopped buying their chicken.
Definitely ! I had to stop buying a good amount of things that I used to get there. I thought it was just my family's tastebuds!😞
This is very sickening. Obviously Costco doesn't care that much for it's customers anymore because they are trying to pass off Inferior products and not listening to customer complaints. And the company would NEVER admit that they have changed some of their products for the worst.

That's a typical price change tactic so people don't notice. It's buffering the price change. They put out a crappie or smaller product at a sale price so that you can mentally justify it. Then go back to the regular price and your brain just bemoans the end of the sale, making it feel like nothing has really changed.

The Jack Cantina Salsa taste fresh made EVERY time. The spicy garlic wings made in the deli are phenomenal. The Padrino's tamales are good too.

The trend for most food products is to reduce quantity (weight or volume), lower quality and raise price - all at the same time, and it is not just Costco. It is everywhere. Most troubling is losses of quality, no matter if it is because of ingredients or changing recipes. The losses are on the consumer side

Most kettle fried potato chips have less breakage as the potatoes are cut slightly thicker…a bit more sturdy. You can also look for a bag that is very full of “air.” The air in the bags protects the chips from being crushed in handling. Contrary to urban legends, it is not a gimmick to sell fewer chips by making the bags look full. Chips are sold by net weight, not by volume. Some chip bags are nitrogen flushed…meaning the gas in the bag is nitrogen, as it eliminates moisture and spoilage. Always check the price per ounce to get the best value.

I heard kirkland was bought by Nabisco and quality has deteriorated.
The kirkland signature "bacon crumbles" also seems lower quality. Since it is supposedly made from the kirkland bacon, maybe the definition of "real bacon" was stretched to allow for more cheaper parts of pork to be used with bacon flavoring to create bacon.
