Splenda Sweetener Packets

The scoop

Spotted a clearance tag on Splenda Sweetener Packets at Costco – we’re talking about the jumbo 1000-count box with item number 896879. If you go through zero-calorie sweetener like water, this bulk find might be worth grabbing.

This is the classic yellow Splenda in individual packets, perfect for sweetening your coffee, tea, or whatever else needs a sugar-free boost. At 1000 packets, you’re looking at roughly 2.75 years of sweetener if you use one packet per day – though let’s be honest, most households go through these faster than that.

A 1000-count box should break down to just pennies per packet when compared to buying smaller quantities at the grocery store. The real question is whether you’ll actually use all 1000 before they expire or get stale, but Splenda has a decent shelf life when stored properly. If you’re already a Splenda devotee or have a household with multiple coffee drinkers, the per-packet savings could definitely add up.

Clearance on sweeteners typically happens when Costco is making room for new packaging or switching suppliers, not because there’s anything wrong with the product. That said, inventory on clearance items moves fast, so if this sounds like your jam, don’t wait around for your next shopping trip. Once these are gone, they’re gone for good.

If you’re already team Splenda and go through packets regularly, this clearance find is probably worth tossing in your cart. Do you stick with Splenda, or have you switched to a different sweetener?
