What’s Your Favorite Kirkland Signature Item?

February 24th, 2010 · 142 Comments

I had a discussion recently with someone that was asking me about Costco’s store brand, Kirkland Signature.  They wanted to know how I thought it compared to name brands, as well as to other store brands.  I thought it was an interesting question, interesting enough that I wanted to get everyone else’s take on it too.  Personally, I feel really good about buying anything under the Kirkland Signature brand because I know it will be of high quality and offer me a tremendous value.  But this isn’t the case with all, or even most, store brands.  Honestly, I can’t think of many other stores that produce their own goods that I have found to be as good or better than the name brands.  But why is that?  Is it because Costco puts more time into making their store branded items than other retailers? Or, is it just more proof of how Costco strives to offer exceptional value to its consumers?

Kirkland Signature: It's All About the Quality

Kirkland Signature: It's All About the Quality

We’ve all read some of the many, many articles in the Costco Connection about various Kirkland Signature items, I’m sure.  But there was one not too long ago, in the October 2009 issue that talks all about the Kirkland Signature brand and why they started it 15 years ago, and how they keep it so great no matter what the product.  The big thing is that the Kirkland Signature products must be equal to or higher quality than the name brands, while still offering a savings to Costco members.  They originally created the brand, according to Jim Sinegal, to have some control over the marketplace with regards to quality and pricing, as well as increase the sales volume in their stores by offering items with a wide appeal.  Having their own brand also lets them control packaging and achieve what he terms pallet efficiencies.  For instance, changing the shape of the cashew nut container from round to square meant that they could fit 432 jars on a pallet, instead of 288, which saves over 600 truckloads per year.  From nuts to men’s dress shirts to cookware or laundry detergent, they put a lot of time, effort, and research into getting the right components and processes to make their products the best they can be, while still providing an amazing deal for shoppers.

My favorite Kirkland Signature product is probably the men’s dress shirts; Dave has several of these.  They are most definitely of the same high quality as the shirts you’d find in a Nordstrom (pardon me for my shocking misspelling and calling it ‘Nordstrom’s') from designers, only they don’t have the $70.00 or $80.00 price tag.  I think the last time we bought one it was under $20.00.  And these are really nice shirts!  They have a nice weight to them (the white shirt isn’t practically see-through like a lot of cheap dress shirts), they have unbreakable buttons that are well stitched to the shirt so that they don’t fall off in the wash, they are stain resistant so most things just bead up and are repelled, plus they are wrinkle resistant (yes, NO IRONING) for a crisp look all day long.  The wrinkle and stain resistance isn’t something you always find in a designer label dress shirt either, a lot of times you end up having to iron iron iron (or send to the dry cleaners, as I do) because they look like hell if you just pull them out of the dryer.  And honestly, Dave has had a number of ‘good’ shirts that we bought at high prices and the buttons pop off or break so quickly; that’s not quality, that’s just annoying.  But the important thing is that Dave likes these shirts and the way they fit, plus they look nice on, and stay looking nice over the whole day too.  They wrote about the shirts in the June 2006 issue of the Costco Connection and discussed how they can keep the quality high but the price so low.  One of the key ways is by using just one supplier that grows, harvests, weaves and dyes the cotton used in the shirts.  It’s all about manufacturing efficiency, that and selling an awful lot of them through Costco and Costco.com.  Right now, you can get a 2-pack of these shirts at Costco.com for $39.99 (including shipping).  Which is just a really amazing deal to me.  I’m hoping we’ll still be able to get these in London.  But, if I were getting picky, I’d have to say it would be nice if they would have a few more color options.  While white and blue are good standard colors maybe they could throw in a nice light gray or a darker blue even, just for a little variety.

While that is my favorite Kirkland Signature because it truly represents an unbelievable mix of quality and value, there are plenty of other Kirkland Signature products that I like and buy on a regular basis too.  Such as:  olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shampoo and conditioner, bath towels, men’s dress shirts and jeans, laundry products, batteries, skin care (co-branded with Borghese), paper towels, spices, dried blueberries, juices, nuts, over the counter medications like aspirin and allergy pills, butter, yogurt, spiral sliced ham, frozen shrimp, super premium vanilla ice cream, shortbread cookies (co-branded with Walker’s), and the delicious European cookies with Belgian chocolate.  I’m not sure if the items in the bakery and deli area should count, but as you know I love plenty of those items too, like the pizza and cookies.  My mom swears that the coffee is delicious but we don’t drink coffee, so I’ll have to take her word for it. And while I don’t have a baby, I have heard that the Kirkland Signature baby wipes and diapers just can’t be beat.   But why don’t they have some women’s clothing from the Kirkland Signature line?  Though, I do seem to recall just before we left Austin I had started to see women’s button down shirts too and I believe they have a cashmere sweater they sell in the wintertime, as well.

In any case, I buy a lot of Kirkland Signature stuff, as you can tell, and have found it all to be every bit as good as, and in most cases better than, the name brands.  I really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making such great products because I can see a benefit every time I take a bite or use one of the Kirkland Signature products.

So, what’s your favorite Kirkland Signature product and how do you think it compares to other store brands and name brands?

    WOW. That’s a toughie. Off hand, I really like Kirkland vodka. Laugh if you want, but it’s incredibly smooth and definitely compares with higher-priced vodkas, such as Grey Goose. Their red and white wines are also top notch.
    Plus, I’ve really fallen in love with Kirkland cookware. It tough, works well and is a pleasure to use. Off hand, I can list 20 more Kirkland products that I love and would hate to see disappear, especially their Borghese facial products.

  2. 2 Ryan // 2010.02.24 at 10:15 am

    The Austin Costco now has new Kirkland yogurt. The manufacturer and recipe have changed for the better. The yogurt is made with real sugar, and contains less ‘filler’ than the previous incarnation – definitely an improvement. Currently, my favorite Kirkland product are the pies from the bakery.

  3. 3 Tampa Slim // 2010.02.24 at 11:50 am

    Kirkland TP – Easy on the wallet – Easy on the hiney!
    :)

  4. 4 Paul // 2010.02.24 at 1:20 pm

    For me, Kirkland’s Allerclear (generic ClaritinD allergy medicine) Costs $5-6 for 15 count.

    Compared to the name brand which is never less than $15. Pays for the membership costs in about 3 months.

  5. 5 Mike // 2010.02.24 at 2:33 pm

    Agree completely on the shirts. As for other items, I love my rolling luggage (comparable to tumi- but for 1/5 of the price!), yogurt, t-shirts, sports drink, baby wipes, maple syrup, oatmeal, tortilla chips, toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, milk, american cheese, laundry detergent, dishsoap, jeans, choc covered raisins, nuts. All great stuff.

    Also heard their scotch is great but unfortunately they don’t carry in my area.

  6. 6 Clue // 2010.02.24 at 3:27 pm

    Numbers One through Ten on my list: Kirkland Chocolate Macadamia Clusters!! These were featured in the January 2009 issue of Costco Connection on page 81. READ HERE Need I say more?

    Then Kirkland Albacore Tuna, then Natural Laundry Detergent, followed by Kirkland Kitchen Trash Bags. They recently redesigned the bags and they now have a nice stretch to them, kind of similar to the popular “Force-Flex” design of another major brand.

    After that on my list comes Kirkland: batteries, paper towels, batteries and cashews/mixed nuts.

    I’ll stop with this tip of the iceberg. :-)

  7. 7 Jesse // 2010.02.24 at 9:02 pm

    I have to agree with Jane. The Kirkland tri ply cookware is pretty good. As far as food items, we like the frozen fish, coffee (whole bean) is awesome, yogurt and the frozen ravioli’s. Lots of others..I heart Costco!

  8. 8 Emily // 2010.02.24 at 10:48 pm

    I have it on good authority that Kirkland brand vodka IS actually Grey Goose, bottled in the same place.

    I actually seek out Kirkland branded items because over the years I’ve found that they are as good as or better than name brands. Their diapers and wipes are better than ANY other I’ve tried, though I wish they offered pull- ups (we are past that stage now, but wouldve been nice). I only buy Kirkland TP, trash bags, cleaner wipes, frozen fish (salmon, mahi, tuna) sooo many more.

  9. 9 Tim // 2010.02.24 at 11:09 pm

    Easy one! The Kirkland Signature mattress – Cadbuy Cal King is wonderful. We purchased another mattress from Costco and it had an unappealing odor and was too hard. With Costco’s great return policy we were able to return the old mattress and get a much better one for about $100 more. If you are looking for a new mattress check this one out.

  10. 10 Sharon // 2010.02.24 at 11:10 pm

    This is a very timely topic. I just recently discovered their Shampoo and Conditioner , I love it !
    Cookware is wonderful. Baby Formula, Diapers and Wipes.

    Keep the suggestions coming!

  11. 11 Laura // 2010.02.24 at 11:14 pm

    Kirkland Brand Baby Wipes, unsented… My 3 daughters and I used these as makeup wipes. Very gentle, work well, no scents and we save big bucks!! Lots more, but my #1 choice.

  12. 12 Jennifer // 2010.02.25 at 12:00 am

    The new Kirkland yogurt is now made by Dannon and comes in 6 oz containers — 2 ounces smaller than the previous version. Costs more and doesn’t taste as good.

  13. 13 Saige // 2010.02.25 at 1:21 am

    Laundry Detergent – the one free of dyes and perfumes. It’s cheap (especially when it’s on coupon) and is effective. Now that’s my favorite just because of the cost/quality.

    But I also love the EV olive oil, balsamic vinegar, paper towels & tp (esp because they are individually wrapped and we can store all over the house).

  14. 14 Gerry // 2010.02.25 at 6:57 am

    KS Beauty Soap is, by far, superior to any other soap I use for quality & cost. I buy the coffee for my office & everyone loves it.

  15. 15 Carol // 2010.02.25 at 12:48 pm

    There are so many, but their ham is the best I have ever had. I picked it up for $.99/lb on sale. It is Neiman Ranch ham per the label. It is regularly much higher and I will willingly pay the price. Moist, flavorful and fantastic! Plus it was the best buy ever.

  16. 16 Kimberly // 2010.02.25 at 1:08 pm

    You guys came up with some great stuff that I buy but totally forgot to mention, like the fish and albacore tuna. And I’m obviously going to have to try the toilet paper because it keeps getting praise.

  17. 17 Shawn // 2010.02.25 at 1:34 pm

    Honestly, how are you to decide? I ALWAYS buy Kirkland whenever it is available and have always found it just as good or better than name brand.

  18. 18 HotWasabiPeas // 2010.02.25 at 2:47 pm

    HELLO !!! It’s spelled Nordstrom….NOT Nordstrom’s. Jeesh some people should not be allowed to shop there!

  19. 19 Kimberly // 2010.02.25 at 2:48 pm

    Sheesh, sorry for the mistake, didn’t realize it was so appalling and disgusting to have a boo-boo. Too bad I’m not perfect, I guess. And amazingly, they will still take my money when I shop there, even though I threw on apostrophe and an ‘s’ on their name.

  20. 20 Danita // 2010.02.25 at 3:19 pm

    I’ve been very pleased with the Kirkland brand, Currently my favs are; Kirkland red wines, Kirkland free and clear laundry detergent, Kirkland kleenex (unscented). Recently discovered Kirkland brand frames in the Optical dept. while shopping for new glasses for my son. He doesn’t wear his glasses often so we didn’t need anything fancy and the price was great ($39.99). They had many stylish frames to choose from. Has anyone tried the Kirkland Champagne? I am curious who makes it.

  21. 21 Micah // 2010.02.25 at 3:57 pm

    It’s funny you wrote this article, I was just thinking that I’m starting to have the same kind of emotional connection to the Kirkland Signature brand that I do to brands like Coca-Cola and Apple. I just think all of their products are understated and provide value that you just don’t find in other stores. I’ll buy things I don’t necessarily need just to see how KS handles it!

    I love the non-iron shirts, but the one flaw with them is that the label on the collar that says that it’s non-iron is really irritating on my neck. I usually can use a sharp knife or scissors to remove that label, and then it’s unstoppable for the price.

    I’m also a big fan of their organic mocha coffee drinks. They’re super tasty in a glass with ice and are far superior to the Starbucks ones for sale right next to them at a much higher price.

  22. 22 Justin // 2010.02.25 at 7:57 pm

    Supplements, vodka, laundry detergent, pine nuts, the list is long.

    I also trust Trader Joe’s as a store brand, FWIW

  23. 23 Jim Person // 2010.02.26 at 10:35 am

    I agree with all the responses so far but wondering about how the decisions are made concerning what Kirkland Products are stocked on a regular basis, which ones are only periodically stocked or which ones are discontinued. I find that I need to try to game the system so I have enough of a product to last until it is restocked. I have noticed the issue with OTC items in health area and some clothing items (the Kirkland men’s khaki casual pants were superior to the Dockers that are now carried but they have disappeared from my Costco for the last two years. When I inquired as to when they would be back, the response from Customer Service was boilerplate that they did not know and do not respond to specific item availability questions.)

    Overall the Kirkland brands are wonderful and I gravitate to them when they are available in a product category because I know they will be of superior quality at a fair price.

  24. 24 Carmel // 2010.02.26 at 11:26 am

    I absolutely agree with what everyone has written down as their favorites. Beside produce, the one NON Kirkland item we get is the imported Gouda cheese…it’s cheaper than we get it in Holland!

    Nearly all of our weekly consumables (TP, olive oil, etc) we’ll buy KS if available. One thing we found recently was the KS strawberry spread (by the jams/jellies). It is amazing…so many uses. Our favorite right now is in salad dressing: some balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and ~tsp of strawberry spread for a “berry vinagrette”…delicious!

    Thanks for this great post, I always like seeing what other people find in Costco!!

  25. 25 Ms. SP // 2010.02.26 at 1:00 pm

    I immediately thought of their yogurt, but from the comments above, I’m finding out that they went and changed it! It may be better, but I find that difficult to believe. It used to be so good. The larger size really made a difference, and the better packaging was so useful. They made great containers around the house for various odds and ends.

  26. 26 David // 2010.02.27 at 1:45 pm

    Easy — the Kirkland Signature sheets. They’re exceptional quality and thread count (600 t.c.), very deep (can fit a 17″ thick mattress), retain their stitching through countless washes, and yet still cost less than comparable 200 t.c. sheets from a regular home goods store ($59.99 for a queen set last time I checked).

    [...] some new ideas on your next Costco shopping [...]

  28. 28 Del // 2010.03.01 at 9:29 am

    We use everything really… The garbage bags, laundry soap, maple syrup, TP , napkins, paper towels. One of my favorites was the organic cotton polo shirts they had last summer for 13 bucks. I wish I bought every color they had but to late. The diapers rock but my only complaint is the size 3 runs smaller than huggies size 3. Yes, the tuna beats the national brand by far. You really need to try the extra crunchy Virginia style peanuts in the round can. Sooo good!

  29. 29 Del // 2010.03.01 at 9:36 am

    Forgot my new favorite Kirkland organic peanut butter. It does not get oily like some brands and has what every peanut butter should have two ingredients peanuts and salt. Two jars under seven bucks is a steal. The organic strawberry spread is a winner too. Love seeing Costco getting more organic products!

  30. 30 Kimberlynn // 2010.03.01 at 3:01 pm

    We love the Kirkland TP, paper towels, trash bags, sheets, cookware, spices – especially the ground black pepper, cinnamon, & chopped onion, bread, laundry & dish detergent, tortilla chips, calcium chews, kids pj’s, baby formula, baby wipes – haven’t tried the diapers though! I got my husband a pair of Kirkland leather gloves for Christmas and he LOVES them. I think the only things that I haven’t necessarily cared for (as far as Kirkland brands go) are the bar soaps – they seem to dissolve fast! And the disinfecting wipes in the tubs. The wipes always seem to rip when I try to pull them out.

  31. 31 Heather // 2010.03.02 at 12:02 pm

    I can def. vouch for the diapers, baby wipes, and in-house roasted coffee. Love the balsamic vinegar and raisin bread, too.

  32. 32 Carmel // 2010.03.03 at 12:26 pm

    I forgot to mention the beer! We used to feel funny drinking a store-brand beer but the quality is excellent and the price is unbeatable!

  33. 33 KD // 2010.03.03 at 11:17 pm

    I LOVE the diapers. We have been using diapers for over 5 years at our house now, and they are great. I just wish they were on coupon more often. ;)

    I must say, however, that often times when they begin manufacturing a KS brand, they discontinue the “national” brand and I’m not happy about it. I guess the big one that comes to mind is their instant individual pack oatmeal. The KS brand has more sugar, tastes worse, and is processed in a facility that also processes peanuts and milk (no-no in our family) over the “national” organic brand they were carrying. Disappointing. :(

  34. 34 Mike // 2010.03.04 at 11:35 am

    I agree on the new oatmeal and the new yogurt. In both cases the product was changed to make it worse! Hope this is not a trend with Kirkland.

  35. 35 JS // 2010.03.04 at 5:18 pm

    Wish they still sold the Kirkland Body Wash…

  36. 36 Heather I. // 2010.03.04 at 9:43 pm

    Organic peanut butter! That stuff is delicious and such an amazing price. Also, vitamins (although I wish they had prenatals), Vita Rain drinks, trail mix, canned chicken breast, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, organic eggs. Those organic Disney animal cookies that Kirkland makes are my weakness, I have a tough time with self-control when they’re around! I wish they made frozen pizzas…

  37. 37 Sean S // 2010.03.05 at 11:23 pm

    ever tried their extra large Virginia Peanuts? yum.

  38. 38 Eric // 2010.03.08 at 9:28 pm

    Costco Gelato!!!

  39. 39 Jackie // 2010.03.10 at 10:22 am

    The organic peanut butter. YUM! I bought it as an experiment because we eat a lot of peanut butter in this house and the brand we use is pricey. Well, this is way less expensive and is by fat the best tasting peanut butter I’ve ever had, and the texture is so good that I actually double checked the ingredients to make sure it was so smooth because of lots of chemicals.

  40. 40 Del // 2010.03.11 at 9:56 am

    I know the peanut butter is the best. Please Costco you have a perfect product do not discontinue it. The Kirkland men undershirts are so nice with thick soft cotton. The Kirkland baby formula was great for my little one. Our doctor told us 90 percent of all formula is made by two companies in the US so their all the same. They have to meet US standards. It amazes me when I see people buy the 25 for one can when you can get two for twenty.

  41. 41 Kimberly // 2010.03.11 at 10:32 am

    I don’t think I’ve tried the peanut butter, but I really feel like I’m going to have to give it a go since so many people like it so much.

  42. 42 Judy // 2010.03.20 at 3:49 pm

    Does anyone know if they discontinued the Kirkland tri-ply cookware? I’ve read so many good reviews about it and decided to purchase. Now I can’t find it. I wonder if it’s been permanently discontinued or will be back in the stores

  43. 43 Freeman Rogers // 2010.03.25 at 12:40 am

    I am very disappointed that Costco has stooped so low as to make their Kirkland Yogurt a smaller size (6 oz.) like the rest of the idiodic industry. The now Kirkland yogurt now is not very good at all (in fact lousy) compared to the previous 8 oz cups (which were very good) that apparently have been discontinued. Next they will probably smallen up their ice cream to 1.5 quarts like all the rest of the idiot manufacturers that think we like smaller sizes at the same price. Freeman Rogers

  44. 44 Kimberly // 2010.03.25 at 5:06 am

    I’ve heard a few people complain about the change in the yogurt; not everyone is happy with the new size and taste. I think the previous KS yogurt was really good and I really liked the bigger size too. I’ve had a few complaints from family and friends, as well. Maybe/hopefully they’ll re-think the decision to totally discontinue the old size and recipe.

  45. 45 Jennifer from CA // 2010.03.29 at 5:46 pm

    My favorite Kirkland item is the Kirkland Signature Dry Roasted Almonds – the almonds are huge and so delicious! I usually eat raw almonds from the neighbor’s trees that are next to our vineyard – but after having the Kirkland almonds, it has been hard to go back to the raw, natural amonds. I also like the Kirkland Calcium and Multi-Vitamin/Mineral supplements and the Kirkland Vanilla Soymilk. I am hoping that they make a chocolate version soon, since I am addicted to the Silk Chocolate Soymilk.

    I have one last question that I hope someone has the answer to. Is the Costco granola (blueberry, raspberry, pecan, and white chocolate puffs) still available? The last time that I saw it was when I went to the Northwest Indianapolis Costco. It was made by the Costco bakery and came in a clear plastic container. I don’t have the information label, but I think that it contained more than 2 lbs of granola. It was delicious, but unfortunately I have not seen it here in any of the 3 Fresno/Clovis CA Costcos since I returned in April 2009. If it is still available, could someone please, please, please let me know!!

  46. 46 soulpants // 2010.04.04 at 11:13 pm

    I really love all the K.S. products but the Organic Coffee and the Green Tea and Organic Peanut Butter and the Organic Strawberry Jam! Oh yeah!

  47. 47 justin // 2010.04.10 at 4:12 pm

    Yes! The organic strawberry jam is the best! Do you know who packs it for them? I remember that it used to have it’s own label before taking on the kirkland name.

  48. 48 Susan // 2010.04.25 at 6:41 pm

    I love their sheets. the 540 thread count ones. I’m bummed that i cannot buy them any more!

  49. 49 Kimberly // 2010.04.26 at 1:15 am

    Susan, I think they still sell the Kirkland Signature sheets online. These seem similar to the ones that I’ve seen in the stores, at least, and are definitely Kirkland Signature, though they do say they are 600 thread count.

  50. 50 Corliss Serka // 2010.05.06 at 9:00 am

    If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend the Kirkland Signature Bom Dia juice in the refrigerator section!!! Amazing! A blend of blueberry and acai juice, this is a Kirkland product that is my very favorite item in the whole store!

  51. 51 Seth // 2010.05.06 at 10:47 am

    For me it has to be the Kirkland boneless skinless chicken breasts that are individually wrapped and come in a 6.5 lb bag. The chicken breast is large, very lean, and tasts good.

    I am not kidding when I say I renewed my costco membership based on this item alone.

  52. 52 Kelly // 2010.05.28 at 10:05 am

    The dog food is great, better ingredients than Science Diet and half the price!

  53. 53 Doris // 2010.06.09 at 4:06 pm

    The Kirkland Signiture yogurt is good and it is just like activa also made by activa or Dannon . I aslo love the pkg of K.S. cappucino I think its also made by cafe D’vita

    I wish we could get costco to keep a frozen veg. like peas or mixed veg
    I went into Reno to get some frozen veg. and now they don’t have it
    I NORMALLY shop carson city . I was hoping to have the access to frozen peas or a mix veg
    even if I had to go to Reno to get it . How can we get a costco to stock this?

  54. 54 maggie // 2010.06.10 at 9:03 am

    Favorite Kirkland products—
    1 Environmentally Friendly All-Purpose Cleaner (large white bottle w/smaller spray bottle) — I used it for everything. I still have some left but can’t seem to find it in the warehouse now. Was it discontinued??

    2 Canned albacore tuna

    3 Colombian coffee

  55. 55 Del // 2010.06.11 at 7:25 am

    Yes Seth, the frozen boneless chicken breast cost a little more but they are perfectly trimmed and taste great. You can find them cheaper at other places but not the same quality.

  56. 56 Bulkisbetter // 2010.06.14 at 9:37 pm

    I wish I could find kirkland yogurt here in Arizona. They have the flavored yogurt from kirkland but not the plain low fat. The only Plain- yogurt that I buy, from Costco, is Faleh (fay’eh) and that is Greek Yogurt. It is excellent but very pricey.

  57. 57 Kimberly // 2010.06.15 at 5:55 am

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen plain, non-flavored yogurt from Kirkland Signature. At the Costco’s I’ve been to they have the KS variety pack with like strawberry, blueberry and peach but none that’s plain. It would be awesome if they’d make a Greek yogurt like Fage, but for a lower price. I love Fage but it is on the pricier side for yogurt.

  58. 58 Kimberly // 2010.06.15 at 6:09 am

    Del, I definitely agree with you. The quality isn’t the same at the places that have the cheaper chicken breasts. The ones at Costco are a really nice big size and, as you said, perfectly trimmed. That often isn’t the case at other stores that sell them cheaper.

    It’s like some of the other items, such as juice, where you can buy it someplace else in its most basic form, but you aren’t getting the same quality as at Costco where it is *maybe* a few cents more. I’d rather pay a teeny bit more to get a juice or piece of meat that is better quality than just have absolutely the cheapest things in my cart.

  59. 59 Kimberly // 2010.06.15 at 6:15 am

    Maggie, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the KS all-purpose cleaner. Maybe it was something they were trying out at the Costco that you shop at? I’d love that though because cleaning products can be so expensive and you never know what kind of quality you’re going to get.

  60. 60 Kimberly // 2010.06.15 at 6:20 am

    Doris, our Costco in the US – Austin – always had a vegetable mix called Normandy Mix that had stuff like carrots and cauliflower and some other stuff I can’t remember right now. And then they always had things like broccoli, green beans, corn, and edamame. In any case, you can try filling out a comment card and request that they carry a better variety of frozen vegetables more consistently. I’d keep filling out a comment card every time you go & get your friends that shop there to do the same.

    Did someone say KS TP is good? Bought it – mistake. It’s thin and sticks to, well… This one is not up to the par as much as i love the club.

  62. 62 BulkisBetter // 2010.06.15 at 9:32 pm

    I wish I could find Silks’ Almond Milk. I have purchased it at one Costco location but not been able to find it at other Costco locations in Arizona.

  63. 63 Berny // 2010.06.20 at 12:16 pm

    Love Kirkland extra-large Virginia peanuts that come in a can, but Costco store on Grant in Tucson doesn’t always carry them. Where can I get them when I want them?

  64. 64 Gary // 2010.06.25 at 4:17 pm

    Hi,

    Ok, I like a lot of the Kirkland items. But what really bugs me is when they discontinue items I really like. Such as the silk/cott9n Polo shirts and the Cotton Twill pants.

  65. 65 Darlene // 2010.07.15 at 10:37 pm

    Don’t get me started. We love Costco and the Kirkland Signature products. Our latest and greatest find is the Kirkland Cafe’ Cappucino instant coffee drink packets. They are around $7-8.oo for 30 packets and the taste is excellent whether made with water or milk.

  66. 66 maggie // 2010.07.16 at 9:23 am

    Hey Gary, I’m right there with you. I think that’s happened to my KS Environmentally Friendly All-Purpose Cleaner (Item #911254).

  67. 67 Kristina // 2010.07.21 at 8:46 am

    We love their baby wipes and baby formula! Plus, my husband likes their socks and white t-shirts. I love their price on milk and laundry detergent.

  68. 68 cara // 2010.07.22 at 11:50 pm

    My favorite KS items are;
    1. KS toilet paper. It’s a great deal for the price.
    2. KS grape juice. YUM!!
    3. the shampoo twin pack.
    4. KS Eco-friendly HE laundry detergent. It has a nice scent.
    5. KS multi-grain bread. This one deserves a double YUM!!.
    And, we can not leave Costco without stopping at the food court. We love the Hot Dogs and Chicken cheese-bakes .

  69. 69 youngchild // 2010.07.23 at 7:03 pm

    what is a hot dog actually made of?

  70. 70 Erin // 2010.07.25 at 12:16 pm

    Kirkland Household Surface wipes are the best! Bigger, thicker, and just plain better than all the rest!

  71. 71 Shelley // 2010.08.10 at 1:16 am

    Kirkland Super Extra-Large Peanuts item # 222490
    They are not as good as when they first came out. No longer very crunchy blister nuts. More like fancy Planters :( What happened? Like others mention, they were fantastic… If the next can is as bad as the last two, we’ll return it. If that is also poor that will be the last time and its back to Hoody’s. How disappointing. :(

  72. 72 Linda B // 2010.09.25 at 8:57 am

    Love love love the in-house roasted coffee, but am newly in love with the Kirkland Series Body Wash (natural citrus). Have moved to a part of the country with no Costco’s. Going into withdrawal! May have to make a road trip to Montana just to stock up.

  73. 73 Karl M // 2010.09.27 at 2:39 pm

    I’ve traveled the world and eaten ice cream at some of the finest places on earth, but I have to say that the Kirkland brand vanilla ice cream beats them all hands down. It has to be at least 18% butterfat. It’s so creamy smooth and delicious, and goes great on apple pie. I used to never eat vanilla ice cream, but after trying the Kirkland’s, that’s all I want anymore. Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! (Oopsie! Time to go get my cholesterol checked.)

  74. 74 Sherry D // 2010.10.13 at 11:42 am

    Love the KS canned salmon, but it hasn’t been on the shelf for a couple of weeks. Maybe just as well, it was farm raised – now they have wild (“Bear & Wolf” or something) which is healthier). Also love the KS coffee roasted by Starbucks and the KS beer.

  75. 75 Leon // 2010.11.13 at 9:19 pm

    I have never been so dissapointed with a Kirkland product, EVER! I always buy 2 boxes of the blue recycling bags at a time as they have been an excellent alternative to the more expensive Glad blue bags but recently we have found that the red drawstring totally sucks. It is made of a very flimsy plastic that might as well be tissue ! It seems like it has been a long time getting through the both 80 bag boxes but we are almost done the second one, finally! The black garbage bags have stayed the same so why change the blue bag drawstrings? Before I buy another blue bag from Kirkland someone at Costco will have to open a box so I can examine the red drawstring. If it is the same it will be staying there!! Item number 880579, size 76 X 84 cm , 1.05 mil. What’s up with this failure and is there any hope of correction??

  76. 76 Suzanne Cummins // 2010.12.19 at 8:00 pm

    My favorite Costco item was the Kirkland whole Columbia Supremo coffee beans that were so reasonably priced. Now there is a Jose’s brand that has a DunkinDonuts-like flavor, not nearly as good as the Kirkland ones.

    Anyone have a clue as to where we can get the same coffee beans that Costco used to have????

  77. 77 k cup coffee brewers // 2010.12.22 at 4:50 am

    K-cup, NFL Matchup, bagel. Let’s go!

  78. 78 Jerry // 2010.12.24 at 12:49 am

    When will Costco stop discontinuing the best products they sell under the Kirkland Brand? like the Do Brasil Acai Blueberry Juice from Bolthouse Farms??? and the Body Wash???

  79. 79 Megan // 2011.01.13 at 9:34 pm

    Can anyone by chance help me to look for a specific kirkland food? Costco used to sell kirkland soups, like the freeze-dry ramen noodle soups, but kirkland brand and I absolutley LOVED them. For some reason, they took them off the shelf last year and I was never able to find them again. EVER. I have been looking on the internet for some time now…can anyone help me or know of where I can find them again? Help is MOST appreciated. Thanks!!

  80. 80 Betty Hilliard // 2011.02.02 at 1:23 pm

    Love the Kirkland canned salmon but suddenly at our Costco (Durham, NC) it’s been replaced (temporarily, I hope) by Bear & Wolf – looks disgusting. Returned five cans for full refund. Seafood is not my favorite but the Kirkland brand is not fishy tasting/smelling and looks appetizing in the can. Their albacore tuna is good also although one of the food sample ladies said it is processed by Bumble Bee.

  81. 81 Suzanne Cummins // 2011.02.02 at 10:15 pm

    For me there are three things – Kirkland paper towels, toilet paper, and 100% whole bean Columbian Coffee. Alas the third
    is now only available for business customers or via Amazon.com – so sad, since its replacement (Jose’s 100% whole bean Columbian Coffee) just doesn’t hit the target.

    So we are getting our Kirkland delivered by Amazon, and wishing the retail arm would once again embrace their amazing coffee product. Heavy sigh…

  82. 82 gemma // 2011.02.14 at 10:27 am

    I was thinking of trying the KS ProComplete toothpaste. I’d like to hear some feedback from anyone who has used it.

  83. 83 Del // 2011.02.16 at 9:58 am

    Got a trick for KS Peanut Butter. Store it upside down on its top and the oil will rise to the bottom making it easier when you open and stir it.

  84. 84 Micki // 2011.02.16 at 3:01 pm

    I love costco and even most of the kirkland products. But I have to complain about the KS ProComplete toothpaste. Started using it and every moring I had the worst morning beath. Stoped using it and no more morning breath. Also, kirkland waffles don’t toast very well. Bring back eggo waffles.

  85. 85 Marketa // 2011.03.24 at 1:20 pm

    My favorite product is Kirkland Signature’s Natural Citrus Body Wash. It moisturizes and softens my skin like no other body wash I have ever used. It is packed with antioxidants and contains 100% pure plant extracts that help to combat free radicals and prevent my skin from aging. My skin looks and feels much better since I have started using this product. The best part is that the product is good for the environment because it is biodegradable. It also is free of parabens and sulfates so I know it is safe for me and my family :)

  86. 86 Roger // 2011.04.01 at 10:09 pm

    I went to my local Costco today, and I was astonished to learn that the Kirkland Organic Strawberry Spread is no longer stocked. Others here agree that it is one of their best products. The manager suggested that I send an email to Costco, which I have done, and I urge others who like this great product to do the same.

  87. 87 Darlene // 2011.04.02 at 11:27 am

    Love Costco and on my wish list of KS products, I hope for Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, non-dairy yogurts (soy or coconut milk based), probiotics.

  88. 88 SeaSpray // 2011.04.03 at 12:38 pm

    Kirkland paper towels ..last longer are stronger and more absorbent then main brands. Tear easily – I am very happy when stocked ..disappointed when run out and have to fill in the gap with more expensive ..yet inferior product.

    Kirkland tuna fish. OMGOSH! SOLID white tuna! You rarely will find anything to clean out of the tuna. My m-i-l is hooked on it too.

    If you have to buy half a sheet cake …their baked and decorated sheet cakes are much cheaper than bakery or store. And taste good too.

  89. 89 jean // 2011.04.11 at 1:02 pm

    kirkland signature hand and body moisturizing lotion i used to buy this product in costco in japan but no wthat i move here in SD CA. where can i get kirkland signature hand and body moisturizing lotion?

  90. 90 Lisa // 2011.04.14 at 2:29 pm

    My personal favorite KS items are the citrus green tea (iced tea), the canned tuna, dry cat food, garbage bags. coffee. There are probably others that I love too. Truly, most of these items are superior to comparable national brands. The tuna is still a 7 oz can. Yeah, you can get two sandwiches out of one can. The iced tea tastes like tea and not sugar water. The cat food (and dog food) is made by Diamond, which is a premium manufacturer. It is so much cheaper than what I was buying before. I’ll have to try the peanut butter.

  91. 91 Bekah // 2011.04.15 at 1:22 pm

    Does Kirkland Signature have a website? Where can I find information about how the goods are being manufactured, processed and distributed?

    Thank You

  92. 92 Kimberly // 2011.04.16 at 3:32 am

    @Bekah – I think if you want that information you would need to contact Costco directly. There is not separate website for Kirkland Signature goods and the products are made by various manufacturers.

  93. 93 Jan // 2011.04.30 at 2:41 pm

    I went to my local Costco today, and found out that the Kirkland Organic Strawberry Spread is no longer stocked, wander why? …The manager told us there was a new Costco Buyer who is responsible for ordering and according to him it was a slow seller. This is not true, as in the past the Costco in Sterling Heights Michigan could hardly keep up because it was so much in demand. …Wish that Costco would be more consistent and keep good things available for it’s customers, …bring it back!

  94. 94 Robin from Orlando // 2011.05.01 at 2:48 am

    @ Jennifer from CA, They sell the granola here in Orlando, but the mix is a little different. I don’t remember any chocolate in it. Ours may have had raisins and cranberries. I guess there is some regionally variation. What I loved about it is the cooked honey flavor!

    I didn’t realize Costco was selling via Amazon. I thought it was a third party buying and selling Costco products.

    Favorites…. Kirkland dry cat food as it’s cheaper and better than most brands. I look after a cat colony so I really need to buy in bulk. Anything from the bakery. Bricks of sharp cheddar. Pre-cooked bacon (made by Hormel). Pistachios in the shell.

  95. 95 Robin from Orlando // 2011.05.01 at 4:12 am

    We have at least 2 kinds of frozen veges here. I have the Stir Fry vegetables mix.

  96. 96 Robin from Orlando // 2011.05.01 at 4:52 am

    I went over to Amazon to compare prices of Kirkland products, and it’s definitely NOT Costco selling through Amazon.

    At Costco.com KS Baby Wipes are $27. The are $33.79 on Amazon from a vendor called Connect Buy. Both prices include shipping.

    Then I found the on C0stco’s Business Delivery section you can get Kirkland Signature Gourmet Jelly Beans 64 oz for $18.81 (Same jar sold in the store) . On Amazon the price ranges between $25 – $30. They claim the list price is $50. Yikes

    So beware buying your Kirkland items off Amazon.

  97. 97 SC // 2011.05.15 at 10:17 pm

    @Roger @Jan: KS Strawberry Spread / Jam is back in stock in a few Costco where I am. Thought you’d love to know.

  98. 98 jackie // 2011.05.16 at 7:24 pm

    I loved the organic Kirkland-Starbucks ground coffee. They no longer have it at my Costco. WHY????

  99. 99 ralph // 2011.05.24 at 2:10 am

    here in new york, i cant find the kirkland Organic Strawberry Jam, is it just here?
    can anyone tell me whats up ?

  100. 100 ralph // 2011.05.24 at 2:11 am

    did they discontinue the kirkland Organic Strawberry Jam? i really loved it!! it was delicious and the right price for a nice big jar!!

  101. 101 Drew // 2011.05.24 at 9:31 am

    Agreed. The Organic Strawberry Jam is the best I have ever tasted and it has disappeared from the Costco shelves around the DC area. I could kick myself for not stocking up more. It’s what I look forward to in the morning.

  102. 102 Alan // 2011.05.31 at 7:56 am

    What can be done to get Whole Foods to reorder the strawberry spread? emails? Any suggestions?

  103. 103 Alan // 2011.05.31 at 8:01 am

    Sorry. I meant Costco of course. I also shop at Whole Foods. So to repeat, how can we get Costco to reorder the Strawberry Spread?

  104. 104 SC // 2011.06.13 at 11:50 pm

    the strawberry jam re-appeared in MA Costco over a month ago, but just briefly. It was all out two weeks ago.

    to Post 57 Kimberly, i was the same MA Costco store, they now have Kirkland Signature nonfat Greek Yogurt, next to the FAGE Total 0%. It is a twin 32 (ish) oz pack, costing around $6.50 altogether. Haven’t tried it yet. I can provide more info if anyone is interested.

  105. 105 SC // 2011.06.30 at 11:15 pm

    KS organic strawberry spread back in stock at MA costco 6/30/11

  106. 106 Carol // 2011.07.26 at 10:40 am

    I bought the KS Non-fat Greek Yogurt last weekend and was quite disappointed. I had been buying Fage ($5.79 for 35.3 oz) and absolutely love it, but could not resist the KS brand with two 32 oz containers for less than $7. The KS Greek yogurt is so tangy it is nearly inedible without using some kind of sweetner. I could eat Fage right out of the carton with no embellishments. I hope they get the recipe right because the price is awesome on the KS brand. Anyone else out there try this yogurt? If so, please let me know what you think.

  107. 107 maggie // 2011.07.26 at 11:30 am

    On the KS non-fat Greek yogurt: As one who has tried just about every brand out there, I would still rank the KS near the top—but I do agree with Carol, it is on the tangy side and not quite as good as Fage.

  108. 108 chiffonade // 2011.07.27 at 7:34 am

    In all the time I’m shopping at Costco (since it was the Price Club), I have only been disappointed in two Kirkland products. The “green” (environmentally friendly) dishwashing powder and the Greek Yogurt. I am a frequent user of Fayeh and was thrilled to see a Kirkland brand Greek yogurt being offered for a lower price than Fayeh. I made a parfait with the yogurt, blueberries, agave nectar, pumpkin seeds and Ranier Cherries. (Ironically most of those items were also purchased at Costco.)

    The Greek Yogurt separated – with a clearly visible layer of water forming between the layers. The parfait was served about 15 minutes after it was made, so this didn’t happen over an extended period of time.

    I STILL <3 Costco and shop there at least 2x/week. Out of ALL the Kirkland products I use – Everything from laundry soap to dog food to coffee to Animal Crackers – having only TWO products be turkeys isn't a bad scorecard.

  109. 109 Carol // 2011.07.27 at 8:56 am

    I noticed that about the KS Greek yogurt, also. It is not as thick and I don’t think it is triple strained like Fage. A co-worker asked me what the Fage tasted like and I told her it is like eating really thick sour cream, but without the guilt. I will eat the KS Greek yogurt, but won’t buy it again. I don’t care how much less it costs, it just is not worth the difference in price because I don’t feel the quality is as good.

    My dog loves the Costco brand of puppy food. She has turned her nose up at several brands, but when I stumbled on the Costco brand, she has been on it since and is no longer a pup. But, she just won’t eat other brands. LOL even my dog knows quality when she sees it.

    Another Costco product I love is the Pecan flavored coffee beans. I buy it in the huge bag and do a Turkish grind in the store. After I get home I add ground vanilla beans and some Saigon cinnamon and mix it up really well. Then, I portion it out into foodsaver bags, vacuum seal and in the freezer it goes. When I open a package it is as fresh as when I bought it and tastes absolutely divine.

    I also use the Costco baby wipes for makeup remover cloths. Keep a package of them in my car for when I am out shopping and can’t stand the way my hands feel after handling things in the store. My daughter was the one who turned me on to the Costco brand. She used them for my grandchildren and I happened to be changing the baby one day and fell in love with them. I told her about using baby wipes for makeup remover cloths and now we both are avid Costco baby wipes users.

  110. 110 Christine // 2011.08.11 at 10:04 pm

    Since the Cafe Cappuccino has been discontinued, Kirkland should share the recipe with those of us who are addicted to it so that we can make our own.

  111. 111 Ruby // 2011.08.16 at 1:12 pm

    Kirkland 6can salmon no after taste no bad smell nice and pink good product can’t get it eny more in Costoc. What a pity

    I also love the Kirkland Cafe’ Cappuccino instant coffee drink packets but I cannot find it anywhere. Do you know who distributes it and where I can get more?

    Thanks

  113. 113 Stacey // 2011.08.21 at 4:02 pm

    I like the Kirkland Cafe Cappuccino and their Mocha Frappe…but they have stopped selling it and only sell the Starbucks brand now…

  114. 114 Keith // 2011.08.23 at 1:50 pm

    you guys do know Costco doesn’t “make” any of these products…it’s merely brand name manufacturers selling a variation of that product specifically for Costco. For example, KS toilet paper and paper towels is made by Kimberly-Clark who also makes Cottonelle/Scott Towel. P&G and Kimberly-Clark both take turns doing the KS diapers. Pantene makes KS shampoo, Grey Goose makes KS vodka, etc. It is true that Costco does have input on packaging, setup, etc, but as much as we all love Costco, let’s not think they’re making us a product out of the goodness of their heart.

  115. 115 Amanda // 2011.08.29 at 11:34 am

    I’m trying to track down the KS organic strawberry spread in Canada, and having no luck! If anyone has a jar and could post the product code (number above the UPC), apparently Costco can look it up for me.

  116. 116 SC // 2011.08.29 at 1:03 pm

    Amanda @ post 115,

    KS Strawberry Spread UPC 421793

  117. 117 SC // 2011.08.29 at 1:03 pm

    Amanda, I meant Costco Item #, 421793

  118. 118 Daniel Stokes // 2011.08.31 at 5:49 am

    Your milk in the square containers fit great in the refrigerator!

  119. 119 Amanda // 2011.08.31 at 8:03 am

    Thanks for the numbers SC!
    I contacted Costco and they replied the following:

    “Thank you for your recent inquiry through Costco.ca.
    Due to a poor sales performance, this item has been deleted from our floors and there is no indication of its return.

    Costco Wholesale”

    What a loss!

  120. 120 Krista // 2011.08.31 at 9:54 am

    Love almost every KS item and over the years have expanded our use: diapers, wipes, albacore tuna, coffee, salsa, tortilla chips, beach towels, environmentally friendly dish soap, mens dress shirts, body soap, make up and skin care have all turned out to be better quality and much cheaper than comprable items elsewhere. I have been unhappy with two items: I found the environmentally friendly laundry soap faded our clothes, and I couldn’t stand the smell of the KS shampoo and conditioner while I was pregnant. But one of the more awesome things about Costco is their customer service, and I returned the partially used KS items for a full cash refund. No grilling about why I was returning it, no store credit, just cash, and “have a nice day.”

    @Keith – of course Costco doesn’t “make” any items. They work with manufacturers and other companies to produce the KS brand to their specifications. Sometimes the companies have to retool machinery or change workflows to meet Costco’s standards. But Costco does such huge volume it is worth it for them. I like that they seem to primarily work with American companies, or maybe they just feature those in the Connection.

  121. 121 Michael A. King // 2011.09.26 at 1:41 pm

  122. 122 Chiffonade // 2011.09.26 at 1:59 pm

    Great news!! Costco has RESUMED carrying the large containers of Fage 0% Yogurt in addition to small containers of the flavored type. I just got some over the weekend in Atlanta.

  123. 123 Danell G. // 2011.09.27 at 8:16 pm

    My favorite is the Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter. I went to buy it last week and they didn’t have any. I was told by my local Costco they are no longer going to carry it. Yikes! Anybody heard the same?

  124. 124 Catherine // 2011.09.28 at 10:10 am

    I only use Helmans Mayo. While at Cistco a taster rep told me that their own brand is Helmans. I have been usung it since ,it is wonderful, it taste to me that she was accurate for sure. So Im sold. She said some comoanies allopw costco to place Kirkland on their own recipe, selectively.

    True , not, its Helmans to me and i have a descriminatory taste for only Helmans.

  125. 125 chiffonade // 2011.09.30 at 10:38 am

    THANK YOU Catherine! For the longest time I looked for some tell-tale sign that Costco/Kirkland was Hellmann’s! I could not find a plant number or any identifying number. Upthread someplace I said that some store brands of ricotta and mozzarella are Polly-O – identifiable by the plant number of 36-8071. I will try Kirkland Mayo now. Hellmann’s (or west of the Mississippi, Best Foods) is the only mayo I can cook with and not have it separate into an oil slick.

  126. 126 julz // 2011.10.01 at 12:46 pm

    Am I the only one missing the caramel macadamia nut clusters? I keep hoping I will see them back on the shelf every time I go.

  127. 127 Kristine // 2011.10.10 at 11:50 am

    @ Danell G. – I also inquired about the KS Organic Peanut Butter at my store (Southern CA), and they told me they will not be carrying it any longer. AAGHH! Why do they do this to us? We have been using this peanut butter for years. I cannot find another simple, organic brand that my family likes as much, and definitely not one that is as great a value. : (

  128. 128 EC // 2011.10.13 at 7:49 pm

    @ jean #89. I recently saw Costco carrying the Kirkland lotion, next to Cetaphil. It’s a big 2 pack with pumps for $11.99. Has anyone bought any recently and how did you like it?

  129. 129 Nate // 2011.10.19 at 9:54 pm

    So what is the Kirkland Cafe Cappuccino an imitation of? Who actually makes and packages the product? If they are selling Starbucks instead is that who makes the product? Is the starbucks product in a box with packets?

    I have one packet left and my weekends are going to be very disapointing without that stuff to get me going.

  130. 130 chiffonade // 2011.10.20 at 9:22 am

    Nate, I take it you’re referring to the foamy, sweet beverage that emerges from a machine at the touch of a button. Only when I need to be truly jacked up by BOTH caffeine AND sugar do I have one of those. I call it “Fakeaccino.” I’m guessing the Kirkland brand may be related to what you find at gas stations – though I’ve never noticed the brand. Douwe Egberts is a very reputable brand of coffee products made for mass distribution like at diners or office coffee service. Is Starbucks really selling a frothy sweet variety of “instant” cappuccino at Costco? That would surprise me. I know Costco carries Sbux coffee beans but I’ve never seen a Sbux “instant” sweet coffee drink – only VIA, which is instant “straight up” coffee. I LOVE VIA. It saved me from lousy hotel coffee more than once. It tastes just like brew – seriously!

  131. 131 Rita // 2011.11.06 at 3:44 pm

    CAROL,
    Last tiime i was at Cosco they did not have any Kirkland plain yogurt! When I asked they said something about a reCALL, or they weren’t Selling it anymore! Please tell me this isn’t TRUE! rita that was on nov. 3, 2011

  132. 132 chiffonade // 2011.11.07 at 6:59 am

    Wow – that is a surprise. I wonder why they feel it has to be “either/or” with Kirkland Yogurt and Fage. I gave the Kirkland yogurt a try and it absolutely did not work for me but they should continue to carry it for people who opt for the non-brand-name product. I use tons of Kirkland products and only a very few did not work out.

  133. 133 Will // 2011.11.11 at 2:32 pm

    I agree with the previous commenter, the Bear & Wolf is kinda gross. Has Costco quit selling the Kirkland canned salmon which is very tasty, good smelling and good looking? I can’t find it recently in Gilbert, AZ.

  134. 134 Ryan // 2011.11.21 at 8:25 am

    Our family favorite Kirkland Signature product was the Organic Creamy Peanut Butter. Sadly, Costco stopped carrying this product a few weeks ago at our Toledo location.

    Kirkland Solid Tuna! It’s actually SOLID! Also Mango Salsa and all of the wonderful frozen fish. On my shopping list every month…

    Who makes Kirkland cashew clusters with almonds and sunflower seeds as sold by Costco?

    Am curious and need to write a report for school

    Thanks

    For a while, Costco sold Chanterelle Mushrooms for $10/lb! They were gorgeous – big and meaty. I bought some each time I went. Unfortunately, I think that buyer got fired because they haven’t had them the last 2 times I went to Costco.

    I couldn’t cook without Kirkland’s Organic non-salt seasoning. It’s incredible on everything. I also just found a post by someone who says they used it to make no salt broth. I’m going to try that out.

    @Chiffonade – Maybe the chanterelles are a seasonal item? Or perhaps they’re having a problem with their supplier. Sometimes they have to pull things because of supplier issues and after a while they come back. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

    I went to my local Costco (Los Angeles) last week and the bakery told me that they are no longer making the granola. This granola was similar to the one you described with almonds, walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries, etc.. I have not seen the one with chocolate in it since I visited the NW Indianapolis store a few years ago.

    Yeah!
    The KS Peanut Butter is back on the shelves. Now in 40 oz size. Same great taste.

    How do I find out WHERE the Kirkland Signature products come from? Is the KS Greek Yogurt made from milk from my state or somewhere in the mid-west? How can I find out which KS products are made in my state or at least on my side of the continent?
