Price: $6.79
You bought the burgers, and now you need the fries. Luckily, Costco has a generic Kirkland Signature brand option for just under $7.
If the price still seems high for frozen fries, consider that you'll get five pounds for the price. For reference, you'd pay $4.69 for a little over a pound of name-brand Ore-Ida at Target.
One customer praised the quality and gave a great tip: " They are amazing. I separate them into 5 gallon zip lock bags with one pound of fries in each. Perfect amount for 2-3 people."

Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill
/images/2024/05/14/woman-buying-fruits-at-grocery-store.jpeg)
Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:
- Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
- Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
- Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.
Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.

As the name implies, these wings taste just like takeout — minus the high price tag, of course. The four-pound bag of classic Buffalo-style chicken costs $18.99. But you'll pay over $21 for 15 traditional wings from Buffalo Wild Wings.

Price: $7.99
Make organic smoothies, muffins, or fruit-filled pies for less. Snag this three-pound bag for $7.99. Compare Costco's generic price to $13.29 for Wyman's brand-name blueberries (at Target).
Bottom line

Costco's bulk deals and generic Kirkland Signature store-brand items make it easy to tackle high grocery costs. So go ahead and fill your freezer with these affordable alternatives to grocery store buys.
Even though freezer section finds are on your mind, the warehouse club has plenty of other summertime deals. We also spotted low prices on pool inflatables, stylish sandals, sun hats, and swimwear.
