Costco’s $18 Chicken Nuggets Taste Just Like Chick-fil-A, Plus 8 More Food Dupe Deals

If you're like most shoppers, you love Costco for its bulk deals. But did you know that the retailer also has a cult following for its private-label food dupes? One of the greatest Costco membership perks is enjoying Kirkland Signature products, which deliver the same quality and taste as name brands at a significantly more affordable price.

Here are nine of the best Costco food dupes you can buy right now, and the quality of one of them will amaze you.

Price: $17.99

Chocolate and nuts are a match made in heaven, and nut bars are a smart way to cheat hunger. The KS nut bars give you a wonderful selection of almonds, pecans, cashews, and rich chocolate that shoppers find "absolutely delicious."

They're dupes of Kind Nut Bars, but a way better deal. Less than $20 gets you 30 KS nut bars, while 12 Kind bars set you back $13.59. The taste may well be similar, but the savings aren't.

Price: $15.91

Are you addicted to Starbucks Egg Bites with uncured bacon & gruyere? The good news is that you can get the perfect dupe at Costco.

Both breakfast items offer you a fluffy bite of tasty bacon and sharp cheese. Some shoppers even claim that the KS egg bites "taste better than the Starbucks" ones. While taste is personal, the fact that the KS version is cheaper isn't a matter of opinion.

Price: $20.99

This two-liter KS bottle adds an extra-virgin oil to your repertoire that is perfect for drizzling and cooking. It also has a great flavor that shoppers love, like a "high-quality olive oil," to quote reviewer David D.

That may be because it's a dupe of Graza EVOO, without the premium price of $17.98 per pound.

Price: $15.99

Packed with goodies like M&Ms, raisins, and nuts, this trail mix gives you the perfect balance of sweet and savory. It's also the road-trip-ready twin of Planters Trail Mix.

The only difference is the price. At Target, Planters Trail Mix sells for $11.21 per pound, while this four-pound KS package gives you amazing savings at $3.99 per pound.

Price: $14.99

Organic maple syrup is the best sweetener you can use, and the KS product is every bit as rich as premium brands like Sapjack.

Shoppers like Steph6256 love the "great taste of this real maple syrup," but they also appreciate that they only pay $14.99 for 33.8 ounces versus $8.99 for only 12 ounces of Sapjack Organic Maple Syrup.

Price: $11.11

Costco's organic salsa is mild but flavorful. It's thick, with a strong tomato taste, and the perfect match for chips, tacos, and even salads.

It's also the best dupe of Pace Medium Salsa, except at $2.41 per pound instead of $3.19. With almost five pounds on hand, you can buy it for a gathering or to have handy in the fridge.

Price: $19.99

If you're a fan of cold brew coffee, you probably love Starbucks Cold Brew's bold, smooth, and subtly sweetened taste. What if we told you Kirkland's canned cold brew is a dead ringer for this tasty beverage?

Besides, as reviewer Richard attests, "it's so much better than standing in line at a national chain!" We agree, especially since you get 12 cans at $1.66 each, compared to $2.79 per can for the Starbucks version.

Price: $13.61

Kerrygold grass-fed butter may be the best thing you can spread on fresh bread, but this Costco dupe is a good challenger. Both offer shoppers an unmistakable taste and texture, and both attract the same rave reviews.

The only difference? The price. Two pounds of Kerrygold Irish butter sells for $19.28 at Costco, while the same amount of KS butter is only $13.61.

Price: $18.15

Finally, the winner. Chicken nuggets aren't just for kids, and this KS product shows it in spades. Whether you enjoy breaded chicken on salads, wraps, or just paired with your favorite brand of fries, these chicken chunks offer you light, crispy breading and juicy, flavorful meat.

Some shoppers even compare them favorably to Chick-fil-A nuggets, although they're most frequently cited as a dupe of Just Bare chicken bites. However, the KS price cannot be beat: Target sells 24 ounces of the Just Bare chicken for $11.49, while 64 ounces of KS nuggets cost $18.15. That means you'd have to pay over $20 to get Costco's quantity.
