Costco "sales" are a thing of the past. It's getting to the point where they cobble together some "stuff" just to fill out a brochure.
Apparently, Scrooge now owns Costco.

I hate it when they,
1) sell overpriced nuttzo but butter for $15+ in at my local warehouse instead of Kirkland mixed nut butter for less than half the price for a larger jar.
2) sell non-organic Kirkland strawberry preserves at one warehouse for roughly the same price as organic Kirkland preserves at another nearby warehouse within 10 miles
3) decide to sell organic garlic instead of regular garlic overnight for a bunch more money for the same quantity with no improvement in quality.
4) decide to replace the sale of a 2.5 lb bag of spinach with a 1 lb bag of organic spinach for roughly the same price.
They really have "innovative" ways to bake in inflation. Or manipulate their local inventory to push expensive products or sell inferior products with little value add to the member.
The calories per ounce of veggie straws are slightly lower than for the average potato chip which runs at about 150 calories. The crunchy mouthfeel and various shapes available (straws or chips) may make it a satisfying snack.
But don't be duped by the word "veggie" in their title. These veggie straws are made from processed parts of potatoes (potato starch and potato flour), spinach (powder), and tomato (paste), which aren't exactly the same as eating whole veggies. Once the veggies are dried or ground into flour, powder or paste, they lose many of the vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (natural plant compounds that help keep you healthy and fight disease) that are found in fresh, frozen, and even canned veggies. The processing leaves you with a product that has more fat and fewer nutrients than if you chose the wholesome counterpart of veggies. Eating these veggie straws aren't a substitute for eating fresh, frozen, and canned veggies as a side at dinner or in a salad for lunch.
Although these veggie chips may be slightly lower in calories compared to potato chips, the sodium is higher. One ounce of veggie straws provide 220mg per ounce compared to an average of 180mg per ounce in potato chips.
