Actually Sara Lee discontinued the Sinai Kosher brand. Whether this was 
because Costco was planning to stop buying from them or whether Costco 
dropped Sinai Kosher only after Sara Lee decided to close the business 
is unclear.

They could always switch to Hebrew National, who they used to use for 
hot dogs a long time ago. Even if they had to raise the price from $1.50 
to $1.75 or $2, I don't think anyone would complain since the price has 
been $1.50 for as long as I've been going to Price Club/Costco in 1983.
