Cigarettes
Since 2016, Costco has slowly removed all cigarettes and tobacco products from sale. In fact, a Costco spokesperson declared that tobacco is more of a low-margin business, and it tends to have higher theft rates. In some cases, it’s also labor intensive (depending on the local municipality regulations), so Costco decided to use that space to sell other items.
The truth is that nowadays it is harder to buy cigarettes than ever, and that’s mostly because all the recent health initiatives encourage retailers to stop selling them. Some grocery stores might still sell them, but most outlets decided to stop.

I loved the combo pizzas, and haven’t bought any of their pizzas since they quit selling the combo years ago. It was a huge disappointment. I am planning on trying Sams combo now that I’m a member there as well.
