Overview
- Some U.S. warehouses are offering a single eight-pack of Kirkland bagels for $4.99 instead of the long-running two six-packs for $5.99.
- Availability remains spotty by location, and reporters who asked Costco for comment did not get confirmation of a nationwide policy change.
- The shift raises the unit price from about 50 cents to about 62 cents per bagel, which many shoppers pointed out in posts and comments.
- Fans of the change say a smaller pack fits small households and reduces waste because Costco’s preservative-free bagels can go stale or mold faster.
- The sightings spread after the Costco Buys Instagram account shared store video, signaling a local test that could guide any broader rollout.
