16 High-Quality Costco Kirkland Items (Most are Better Than the Brand Name Stuff)

Costco offers great bulk deals on name-brand products, but it’s amazing to see how much you can save on groceries with the retailer's in-store Kirkland Signature brand products. Many are just as good as their name-brand counterparts but cost a lot less.

So the next time you’re wandering the aisles of your favorite warehouse retailer, check the shelves for these quality store-brand products.

Editor‘s note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.

A trusty Costco hack is to take advantage of its bulk toilet paper offerings, and the warehouse retailer even has its own version if you want to save a little more.

The 36-roll deal from Costco comes in at $29.99, which is cheaper than the name-brand Charmin Ultra Strong Bath Tissue that rings up at the same price for only 30 rolls.

If you’re looking for a break from your migraines, check out the Kirkland Signature Migraine Headache Relief, which comes in a bottle of 400 pills for $12.51.

Migraine sufferers may be used to taking Excedrin (which the Costco version matches up with), but 300 extra-strength caplets of the medication can cost nearly $22.

Frozen pizza is a good staple to keep in your fridge for easy dinners or lunches at home. Cheese pizzas also work great if you want to grab toppings for your pizza to personalize it.

So pick up a four-pack of Kirkland Signature Cheese Pizza for $13.68 from your local Costco.

Babies may be small, but they carry a big price tag, including the need to stock up on diapers.

A box of 192 diapers in size one costs $34.99 when you go with the Kirkland Signature brand, compared to $44.99 for the Huggies version.

Be proactive with your health by trying Kirkland Signature Adult Multivitamin Gummies, which are easy to chew instead of having to swallow large vitamin pills.

A bottle of 320 gummies costs $16.99 at Costco compared to the Vitafusion version, which costs $16.37 for 260 gummies.

K-Cup pods make it easy to brew a cup of coffee each morning, and you can save extra money when you make it at home with the Costco version instead of buying a cup at a coffee shop.

Kirkland Signature Breakfast Blend Organic K-Cup Pods cost $37.99 for 120 cups. If you go with a name brand, like Starbucks, 72 pods of Pike Place Medium Roast will set you back $42.99.

A great grab-and-go snack for your kids (or yourself) is a Kirkland Signature Organic Applesauce Pouch. You can buy a box of 24 pouches for $12.99.

Be aware, however, that the GoGo version has a variety of flavors in addition to apple sauce: apple cinnamon, apple strawberry, and apple banana. You can go with the GoGo Squeez Organic Applesauce Variety Pack with 28 pouches for $19.99.

If you like your water with a little kick, grab a 35-can pack of Kirkland Signature Sparkling Water for $12.86. The pack includes lime, lemon, and grapefruit flavors.

You could also pick up a 30-count box of Spindrift Sparkling Water with the same variety of flavors for $23.37.

With so many options to choose from, it can be tough to decide on which snacks to buy. Fortunately, you won’t have to choose with the Kirkland Signature Variety Snack Box.

One staple you may want to keep in your freezer at all times is chicken, and Costco has you covered with its Kirkland Signature brand.

You can choose from different options depending on your needs. A 6.5-pound bag of individually frozen chicken breasts costs $21.05, and 10 pounds of chicken wings will ring up to $29.24.

Salmon is a quick and easy meal after a long day at work, but it can get pricey depending on where you shop.

Costco’s Kirkland Signature Farmed Atlantic Salmon comes in a three-pound pack for $39.77. Each filet is individually wrapped, so you can take out as many as you need without worrying about freezer burn.

Trail mix is incredibly rejuvenating on a hike or a long day out in the sun. Kirkland Signature has you covered for the season with a four-pound bag (including real M&Ms) for $15.99.

Meanwhile, Wildroot's Coastal Berry Trail Mix costs $12.99 for a 1.6-pound bag.

Pistachios are widely adored — and thus, they‘re expensive. But Kirkland Signature offers them at a reasonable bulk price: $17.99 for a three-pound bag of salted, unshelled nuts.

If you go with name-brand Wonderful‘s three-pound bag, you‘ll pay $21.79 (though that extra cash will get you salt and pepper flavor, instead of just salt).

One of the biggest increases you may have noticed if you’re trying to save money on groceries is with eggs, but Costco has you covered.

Costco’s Cage Free Grade AA Large Eggs come in at $5.84 for two dozen eggs, which amounts to $2.92 per dozen. Bear in mind that egg prices can vary by area.

Costco is beloved for many reasons. Yes, the bulk retailer offers name-brand products at affordable prices, but it turns grocery savings up a notch with its Kirkland Signature brand — without sacrificing quality.
