3. Freeze your produce
Freezing your produce is always a good idea, as it will make it last longer.
“A lot of baked products don’t freeze well, but Costco’s do,” reports Michael Alexis, CEO of TeamBuilding. “Want to freeze a couple of dozen giant muffins? Do it. How about that case of croissants? Check. Costco knows you are buying in bulk, obviously, and so produces products that can be frozen to extend their useful life. Most importantly, even when you thaw these products out, they still retain their shape, form, and taste.”
4. Don’t forget that you have the possibility to return unfinished goods (but I wouldn’t recommend doing that)
Yea, you heard right. Costco lets you return your leftover cake.
“Costco has a very generous return policy, and they usually take back whatever their customers bring in for return,” Wanana explains. “Of course, don’t be THAT person and return the leftover cakes simply because you can’t finish them at a party. However, if you do have a legitimate reason, don’t feel bad to return them to Costco and get your money back!”
However, now because of COVID-19, it’s likely that things have changed a little bit. However, according to Costco employees, returning a half-eaten cake is probably one of the most annoying things that you should stop doing. Don’t be that person.

I and many of my friends loved the bags of dinner rolls at Costco. What a blessing not to have to bake rolls for a crowd on holidays. And now they are no longer there…..will they be back????
I love their dinner rolls too. I did not know they were not making them anymore!!!!!
We loved the bakery department’s TORTAS. The were delicious and we bought them at the Temecula store. Last week they were discontinued. Bad decision. They are softer and more enjoyable than the ciabbata rolls. Please reconsider!!!!!
I love the biscottis and am disappointethat they are no longer available. Will they be back?
I was told the dinner rolls would be back around the holidays.
The chocolate croissants and palmiers. Or were those at sams. They are delicious.
They stopped making the Italian calzones also. Best in town…..miss them.
Love Costco but bad thing is, you just get used to buying some of the things you like and ‘bang’ they are gone and no longer available!!! Why do they do that?? They say if they don’t sell well they discontinue it!! Real bummer!!! IF they sell well Costco buys out the company and puts their own Kirkland name on it!!! They are shrewd CEO’s!!! Just stop discontinuing items we like!!!!!!!
