What’s Your Favorite Kirkland Signature Item?

February 24th, 2010 · 71 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

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.

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 Tampa Slim // 2010.02.24 at 11:50 am

Kirkland TP – Easy on the wallet – Easy on the hiney!
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 JS // 2010.03.04 at 5:18 pm

Wish they still sold the Kirkland Body Wash…
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 Sean S // 2010.03.05 at 11:23 pm

ever tried their extra large Virginia Peanuts? yum.
38 Eric // 2010.03.08 at 9:28 pm

Costco Gelato!!!
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Kelly // 2010.05.28 at 10:05 am

The dog food is great, better ingredients than Science Diet and half the price!
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
61 SC // 2010.06.15 at 9:34 am

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 .

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

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.
