Price: $16.99
Don't break the bank on pricey protein bars. Kirkland's 42-piece pack is a steal for under $17. The salty and sweet peanut butter and chocolate chip combo gives this pick a flavor shoppers absolutely adore.

Kirkland Signature Organic Tomato Sauce
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-organic-tomato-sauce.jpg)
Price: $12.69
Do you need a few basic ingredients to make a quick dinner? Pack your pantry with organic KS sauce. Made from vine-ripened tomatoes, the generic has a fresh flavor and tangy taste.
You can score this 12-count (15-ounce cans) deal for $12.69. Target sells a single 15-ounce can of Muir Glen's Organic Tomato Sauce for $2.99. At that price, you would pay more than $35 to get Costco's quantity.
Kirkland Signature Organic Ghee
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-organic-ghee.jpg)
Price: $19.99
This clarified dairy product has a creamier texture and nuttier flavor than plain bars of butter — making the South Asian/Indian staple perfect for frying, sauteing, baking, and more.
Even though $19.99 may seem like a lot for this 27-ounce jar, compare Costco's price to what you'll pay elsewhere. Whole Foods Market sells nine ounces of 4th & Heart Ghee for $13.99. In a price-per-ounce showdown, Kirkland wins at 74 cents versus $1.55.
Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals
/images/2024/07/02/woman-with-shopping-bags-at-mall.jpeg)
August is here, and with it comes the final stretch of summer. It’s a great time to soak up the season and scoop up hot deals before they fade. Look for savings on:
- Travel and getaway must-haves
- Back-to-school basics
- Clearance swimwear and warm-weather styles
- For grocery savings, grab peak-season produce, like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and berries
As retailers shift their focus to fall, August is the last chance to snag summer essentials at unbeatable prices. Shop smart now before the season (and the savings) slip away.

Mix marinades and blend homemade salad dressing for less when you opt for this KS find. Costco's generic 33.8-ounce balsamic bulk buy is a bargain for $13.89. For reference, a smaller 8.5-ounce bottle of Giuseppe Giusti Organic Balsamic Vinegar costs $19.99 at Whole Foods Market.

Kirkland Signature Organic Pine Nut Hummus
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-organic-pine-nut-hummus.jpg)
Price: $5.89
We think this 34-ounce tub of pine nut hummus is 10/10 for its creamy texture and smooth taste. Pair the fridge find with pita bread, chips, or baby carrots, or you can even top gourmet burgers and veggie patties with this KS spread.
Kirkland Signature Gouda Cheese
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-gouda-cheese.jpg)

Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill
/images/2024/10/16/woman-using-smartphone-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.
Kirkland Signature Basil Pesto
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-basil-pesto.jpg)
Price: $10.39
Switch things up and swap plain tomato sauce for this basil blend. Not in the mood for pasta? You can also spread Kirkland's pesto onto Italian bread, mix it into a tangy dip, or use it to make salad dressing.
Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Mineral Water
/images/2025/08/09/5323-costco-kirkland-signature-italian-sparkling-mineral-water_.jpg)
Price: $15.99
Why buy basic bottles when you could get this carbonated mineral water instead? The Italian sparkling beverage adds a special touch to your meals. Drink this pick over ice or mix it into a summertime mocktail.

Bottom line

The good thing about Costco is you don't have to waste time and energy cutting coupons, scrolling through discount apps, or searching for special deals. Kirkland Signature generics make it easy to tackle high grocery costs. And the savings don't stop at this list.
Even though our roundup features some of the best bargains of August, you'll find plenty of other Kirkland deals throughout the store. Along with food and beverage buys, we also spotted budget-friendly KS generic pet products, beauty buys, and home goods.
