Even if you don’t have a brood that requires two-kilogram tubs of peanut butter, Costco has tons of variety and value to offer, especially in its private-label Kirkland Signature products. Often cheaper than their brand-name equivalents, they’re also occasionally the same or better in quality—sometimes even made by the same company that manufactures the original. Next time you’re cruising the aisles, have a few samples and check out these 11 best Kirkland Signature products to buy now at Costco.
The items and prices listed in the gallery below were sourced from the Costco in Burlington, Ont. and may vary from store to store.
Costco’s 5 Best Kirkland Signature Products
AA Batteries
Stock up, and avoid having to swap the batteries from your kids’ toys to power your remote. In Consumer Reports testing, Kirkland Signature alkaline AAs were rated a “Best Buy” because of their performance and price, which is currently about 52 cents per pair (Duracell performed better, but cost more than twice as much). Consumer Reports also says don’t bother storing them in the fridge—a cool, dark place works as well. Kirkland Signature AA Batteries, 48 pack, $12.49
Chicken Pot Pie
Filled with chicken, potatoes, peas, carrots and a creamy sauce, and encased in a golden pastry, this pie is a weeknight meal saver. In 45 to 60 minutes, you’ll have a main you can pair with a tasty salad—and dinner is done (possibly even for two nights, as you’ll likely have leftovers!) Kirkland Signature 10″ Chicken Pot Pie, 1.25 kg $10.49
Acetaminophen Tablets
Containing the same active ingredient (acetaminophen) as Tylenol, this generic over-the-counter pain reliever certainly relieves the pain of paying for the brand name equivalent: While the Kirkland Signature version works out to almost 1.5 cents per tablet, the major label brand is over nine cents. Kirkland Signature Extra-Strength 500 mg Acetaminophen Tablets, 2 x 350. $9.99
House Blend Coffee
This may be one of the biggest not-so-hidden secrets at Costco: Whiles it’s a private-label product, this house blend coffee is custom-roasted by Starbucks and fair-trade certified. It’s also available in an Espresso Blend and a two-pack. Kirkland Signature House Blend Coffee, 907 g, $15.49
Kirkland Quinoa
One of the most protein-packed foods on the planet and one of the few plants to contain all nine essential amino acids, quinoa is also high in iron and contains almost twice as much fibre as other grains. Oh, and this one is organic and certified gluten-free, too (while quinoa itself does not contain gluten, it’s often contaminated during processing). Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa, 2.04 kg, $11.99
