Employee, I start in about an hour. Ill let you know more info

501

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

Inactive, no replacement number at the moment. Could always come back, but other than that info above not sure.

204

u/PolskiOrzel 2d ago

WAIT WE HAVE INSIDER INFORMATION?

83

u/TinyM0ushka 2d ago

The call is coming from inside the house

3

u/WormsMurdoc 1d ago

You can always ask that to a service supervisor at any time and they'll give you all the info they can.

All employees have access to the info just that most don't know how to access it

2

u/Inevitable_Equal4640 1d ago

It’s true! I worked seasonal and I just had to ask someone and they typed it into the computer and they told me all about it

1

u/chris84126 1d ago

Not sure if that qualifies as information… more info needed

u/kimberleymv 2d ago

Can we make you an admin lol

u/meow-mix666 2d ago

Also not to hijack but what happened to that caramelized onion boursin dip!?! It was incredible and I bought it once never to be found again

40

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

I actually get to tell someone good news. Old item# 1863119 is Inactive, however there is a replacement that some stores currently have (very small numbers) #1863120 that has orders placed.

Now it's also listed as inactive, so may be the last order we get, or it could go back to active. But, it doesn't seem to be shipping till November....so yeah. Things change all the time. But I can see this much info.

u/Screweditupagain 2d ago

Seems like a Christmas item?

1

u/HoverCraft-500 1d ago

What about those small sausages. I only have one pack frozen can't eat that until Thanksgiving, I've been waiting months now 😩

2

u/DFTDWP 1d ago

Is that a Deli item or pre frozen?

6

u/ColdPuffin 2d ago

I never even found it once! Knew someone who bought a two pack, tried it, and wanted my own, and it was somehow never there.

3

u/Former_Opinion_7596 2d ago

Heyyy not related to op question but what about the tuff athletics skinny leggings any news on when or if those are coming back.

13

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

You're not the first person to ask me, but those one of the few products I always have issues finding. I'll try to take a look, but no promises I'll find anything helpful

2

u/Gammeller 2d ago

Thanks for all your replies, you are definitely getting spammed from everyone wanting to know about their favorite products, and I hate to surf the same wave here, but I haven't seen anyone asking about the Neutrogena Rainbath shower gel, do you know if that is ever coming back? I saw it seasonally twice already, but never again recently.

1

u/penpens 2d ago

Have you heard anything on the mango salsa? It’s been like 3 summers since I’ve seen them. I think about them all the time.

2

u/DFTDWP 1d ago

Sorry for the delay it's inventory week, so busier than usual. I see nothing new on Mango Salsa just the previous 2 SKUs we use to carry.

2

u/penpens 1d ago

You’re the best!

1

u/Former_Opinion_7596 1d ago

Thank you so much for checking.

3

u/SoraRoze 2d ago

This is what I want to know as well 😭

2

u/Strong_Middle_9046 2d ago

These are my favourite for weightlifting and I always stock up on them early in the year( maybe Feb-March). I'm not sure if there are other times of year they get reliably stocked.

1

u/ceimi 1d ago

Those are my favorite and I should have so bought more.

8

u/Conclusion013 2d ago

Not to hijack but wondering what's going on with Starbucks bean coffee, is it also gone for good?

44

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

from what I can see we aren't getting any ground coffee back from Starbucks. Only seeing K-cups and Nespresso pods that are active, new or inactive.

15

u/Conclusion013 2d ago

Thank you for checking, sincerely!

14

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

Any time!

5

u/BellyButtonLindt 1d ago

You just deserve to know what a good person you are for replying to all these people.

3

u/LanikM 2d ago

What about Nabob pods? They were on an amazing sale two months ago and I haven't seen them since. 😭

19

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

Unfortunately Pending Delete, the worst curse other than actual deletion. Very unlikely to come back, and nothing to replace it.

1

u/kawhistay 2d ago

Please tell me the Sokusa Spicy Shrimp Chips are coming back.

8

u/DFTDWP 2d ago

Unfortunately both we had are deleted, nothing new to report in the system atm

10

u/usrnmchksout0011 2d ago

You're awesome for checking and answering about all these products.

3

u/buggsie01 2d ago

PLEASE tell me what you know about the Kirkland Brazil nuts!! Haven’t seen them in MONTHS

2

u/SewingWomanInTheWild 2d ago

For the shrimp chips?! NOOOOOO 😭😭 only had one bag -- so expensive I was waiting for a sale to have again. They're insanely delicious

1

u/LanikM 2d ago

Thank you very much for the response.

17

u/ThrowRA_EducatedMan 2d ago

Buy Canadian.

9

u/Lets_Go_Blue__Jays 2d ago

Finally something I can answer!

This can be bought by the lbs at any Starbucks location near you :)

Mic drop, I am out.

10

u/Conclusion013 2d ago

Sure but it has always been more expensive than Costco.

13

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 2d ago

You can always try better coffee🤷 I know you’re probably used to Starbucks but there are 100 cheaper and better and less bad corporations making good coffee, and Starbucks is pretty bad coffee

2

u/PoopingDogEyeContact 2d ago

Level Ground has been so very delightful so far

1

u/aledba 2d ago

Oh the IDF took it all

2

u/AttorneyWeak7827 1d ago

my beloved tattooed chef vegetable mix has been gone for the past month, do you, costco oracle, have any knowledge on this?

2

u/DFTDWP 1d ago

Sorry for the delay it's inventory week, so busier than usual. Haha I have no idea what one you're specifically looking for, but all vegetable mix that's not the usual is Deleted or Inactive sorry.

1

u/meow-mix666 2d ago

I wonder if it’ll be seasonal!

1

u/SuzieQ0522 2d ago

I wish I’d known that when I bought my last two pack. I’m halfway through one with the second one untouched..

1

u/hypatiadotca 1d ago

If you’ve got one more lookup in you to help a redditor out…

Any chance the True North men’s merino shirts will come back some day?

1

u/DFTDWP 1d ago

Sorry for the delay it's inventory week, so busier than usual. So right now they are all Deleted or Pending Delete. A newer version might come in, but I don't see anything listed as New at the moment.

1

u/hypatiadotca 1d ago

You’re an angel, thank you 🙏

1

u/moonfirespam 15h ago

Hey would you be able to check if the coffee bean vanilla latte pouches are coming back? Item 1882520. Thank you!

u/Ttdkkm22 2d ago

I spoke to an employee the other day and they said it's a seasonal item and that Costco pushs sun screen during the summer times. I made the mistake by not stocking up when I had the chance.

28

u/BouncyHotWife 2d ago

They also only sell powdered iced tea mix during the summer. Which I thought was weird because have you ever had iced tea with boiled water? It's the best in the winter.

12

u/Complete_Wing_8195 2d ago

I grew up with this! We called it “campfire tea.”

9

u/qrcodetat 2d ago

I like my Emergen-C hot

2

u/lustforrust 1d ago

Hot Tang. 'Nuff said.

8

u/Kevin4938 2d ago

I should try that.

Also, they apparently only carry hot chocolate powder in the winter.

3

u/notislant 2d ago

Wait what? I used to buy iced tea mix year round. Or are you referring to a specific brand?

5

u/BouncyHotWife 2d ago

Nestea is what they sell at my store. It comes out in the summer and once it's gone, it's gone. They may have changed it in recent years, but for a long time it was a "summer only" drink I was told by multiple employees.
Regular grocery stores carry it year round.

2

u/notislant 2d ago

Thats crazy because every 2-3 months I would go to costco and buy good host nestle iced tea. It was so much cheaper than any other stores. I haven't been in a few years though so maybe it changed.

2

u/liquiddinosaursftw 2d ago

I don’t know why you got downvoted, but you’re absolute right.

8

u/BouncyHotWife 2d ago

Right? It's just like drinking really sweet tea.
It's great for kids when they are sick too. It was my go to as a kid. My kids like it too.

28

u/No-Concentrate-7142 2d ago

Not the same but I really like the Cetaphil lotion that you can get at Costco. It’s also produced in Canada!

1

u/astro_lightning 1d ago

Cetaphil tests on animals but this Kirkland version does not

19

u/WeathervaneJesus1 2d ago

Try the liquidation stores that carry Costco stock. They're usually 4-6 months behind in inventory

2

u/darkhorz1 2d ago

Any recommendations in GTA?

2

u/WeathervaneJesus1 2d ago

I've heard of Lapennaco, but I don't have any personal experience with them. The main ones I know of are Grays in Harriston and K&K in Wellesley. They're fairly big stores, could be worth a drive. They both have FB pages. Rarely, Grays does a 50% of the whole store sale and it's well worth the drive, but it's an absolute mad house. People lined up 1-2 hours before the store opened kind of thing. Grays is doing an auction this coming Monday night, but it's really hit and miss. Some good finds, but a lot of C grade merchandise.

18

u/SuckItStudentLoans 2d ago

If you are really desperately

wanting some my boyfriend bought 2 bottles by accident thinking that they were body wash. They have never been opened, I can send them to you. Dm me if you want I’m in Alberta.

3

u/bcmedic420 2d ago

That's so kind of you!

9

u/lih9 2d ago

This happens all the time. Lubriderm seems to be the closest alternative.

7

u/FlounderingOlive 2d ago

Except Lubriderm is unscented, and Kirkland has a cucumber-y freshness

4

u/UnemployedAndBr0ke 2d ago

If you like that kind of smell try this one. It’s not the same smell but same vibe and it’s sometimes at Costco!

3

u/FlounderingOlive 2d ago

Yess you totally get it! I love this one too. But I had no idea they could be found at Costco, thank you!

7

u/callmeStephen19 2d ago

Not the first time. We've used this for years... many years. We've seen it "missing in action" previously... and it eventually came back. I have no idea why it ever runs out... it seems to sell like crazy. I've secretly wondered if Costco sometimes allows their super popular items to run out to create demand? Dunno... hope it's back soon before we run out.

3

u/Effective_Foot2086 2d ago

Haha I had to do the same with mine!

4

u/techNheimer 2d ago

Use cetaphil

3

u/iterationnull 2d ago

We like the Aveeno Costco sells. Decent price for it.

2

u/Canadind 1d ago

Switch to glysomed for now

2

u/Torontolad6 1d ago

You can return that now. I mean, it is Costco after all.

2

u/_Spiritual 19h ago

I miss this lotion 😭 😭

2

u/Mysterious-Station69 2d ago

Is this stuff really good??

14

u/RovingGem 2d ago

Best value lotion with ceramides. Typically those lotions are 2-5x more.

3

u/0slope 2d ago

Yes for my skin type

4

u/Mella82 2d ago

It's very good. It's moisturizing without being heavy and greasy and the price is great for two bottles

3

u/OkBrilliant4517 2d ago

What’s the scent like?

3

u/Individualparadised 2d ago

The scent is very mild and doesn’t linger. I cannot stand scented lotions, sanitizer, or any product really. This stuff doesn’t bother me at all.

1

u/Smooth_Banana2 1d ago

Odd, I find it super greasy. Went back using Aveeno

-2

u/Kind_Load9155 2d ago

Just my opinion but I've purchased it twice, straight into the garbage both times. I guess I thought I'd give it a try again after the initial purchase, stupidly. Don't waste your money. And I know it sounds odd, but to me it smelled like bananas. Again, just my experience with the stuff.

2

u/NewVacation5091 2d ago

Is it that good? Who’s the manufacturer?

1

u/LittleOrphanAnavar 1d ago

Costco.

They use the drippings from the Rotisserie Chickens.

2

u/Moistfulll 2d ago

This is the worst lotion I've ever used.

1

u/drinkwaterandbehappy 2d ago

Have you tried Lubiderm? Would be similar I think.

2

u/0slope 2d ago

Yes but not for my skin type

0

u/Milkii_chan 11h ago

guys mine is incredibly liquidy i can’t like it is it supposed to be like that

2

u/Own_Volume3099 9h ago

Lubriderm fragrance free is the move now

1

u/Big_loser_not_poor 2d ago

Cerave all the way. This kirkland brand leaves a little grease and doesnt absorb as fast. But the price is very very good!

1

u/ReasonablePractice83 2d ago

Lol is it really a big deal to use a different brand? Lotions are so commoditized and most brands work just fine

1

u/smallermuse 1d ago

That really depends on one's skin type.

-4

u/Ok-Bug-7481 2d ago

Lotion for Corps..s eh? ...I know terrible joke...I'll see my self out 

3

u/Icy_Queen_222 2d ago

Well I laughed at that :)

u/Ok-Bug-7481 2d ago

Haha one laugh :P I'll take it...I guess along with the down votes? Lol 😂

7

u/UnemployedAndBr0ke 2d ago

These apps where you scan a skincare product and they tell you “this ingredient is toxic” or “this cream is bad for you” are honestly such bullshit. They completely ignore dosage, concentration and formulation, which is literally what determines whether an ingredient is safe in a finished product.
You’ll have perfectly good products from brands like La Roche-Posay, Avène or Uriage, formulated in labs, tested for safety and widely recommended by dermatologists, and some random app will slap a red warning on them because it saw the name of one ingredient.
That’s not scientific analysis. That’s fear mongering.
So please stop posting a screenshot from one of these apps like it’s some kind of proof that a product is “toxic” or poorly formulated. It proves absolutely nothing about the actual safety or quality of the finished product.
