Kerrygold Butter
This popular Irish butter brand stands out from most brands of store-bought butter, as its vibrant yellow color and high quality provide a super enjoyable experience. Costco customers and Reddit users note that beginning to buy bulk amounts of this specific brand has made them never want to go back.
"I’ve become a butter snob thanks to Costco," wrote a shopper. "If we run out of the Kerrygold, I won’t eat it."
Kirkland Parmigiano Reggiano
Who doesn't love preparing a delicious pasta dish or pizza that gets topped with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese? For many, parmesan is a fridge essential, and Costco sells it by the block, so you can take it home and freshly grate it yourself, adding a much more sophisticated taste to your meal.
A Costco customer says the parmesan sold at Costco by the block is "so much cheaper than the grocery store and still the 'real deal' good stuff."
Kirkland Pure Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is another pantry staple, and Costco members believe the Kirkland Signature version is better than many other brands of the delicious pancake topping. Not only is their version tasty, but many have found that you get much better bang for your buck and a higher-quality product.
"Could never justify the price pre-Costco," wrote a Reddit user. "Now I'll never buy fake syrup ever again."
Boursin Cheese 3-ct Variety Pack
Boursin's flavorful packages of spreadable cheese are a great item to keep in your fridge, not just for a plate of late-night cheese and crackers but for last-minute charcuterie boards or other fun recipes. At Costco, you can get a pack of three different kinds at a great price, and if you can't eat it right away, several customers say it "freezes pretty well, especially if you plan to cook with it."
Kirkland Aller-Tec Pills
These may not be a food item, but Costco customers cannot get enough of the Kirkland Signature brand allergy pills. This year is an unprecedented allergy season, and people are feeling them now more than ever. According to shoppers, the Costco brand of allergy pills is a pantry must-have, and is sold "at an insane discount compared to name-brand labels."
Kirkland Prosecco
Who doesn't love a refreshing and crisp glass of bubbly during the summertime? If you have something to celebrate or need to have some prosecco on hand for a summertime brunch mimosa, customers love Kirkland Signature's prosecco and feel that it has an excellent flavor for an even better price.
"It’s the best we have ever drank and much cheaper than the name brand," wrote a shopper.
Kirkland Microwaveable Popcorn
Having popcorn at home for movie night or simply a fiber-filled snack to munch on is a good idea, and Costco customers say the Kirkland Signature brand of microwavable popcorn is definitely worth it.
They say that not only is it sold at "an awesome price," but it's also a "better quality than the name brands." Pop it in the microwave, pour on a little melted butter, sprinkle on some salt, and you're good to go.
Kirkland Ginger Lemonade Kombucha
Kombucha, the super-popular fermented beverage, can get quite expensive, and some brands sell it for up to $8 a bottle. At Costco, you can get a large amount of the probiotic-filled drink in a delicious and refreshing ginger lemonade flavor.
One Reddit user and Costco customer said the drink is "more tangy and potent" than some of the leading kombucha brands.
Kirkland Canned Chicken
Canned chicken is an underrated pantry staple. When you use it in recipes like chicken salad, soups, and more, most of the time, you don't even notice you're eating canned chicken. At Costco, you can get bulk amounts of the Kirkland brand canned chicken, which customers say is "so versatile."
They also noted it makes for a "great" buffalo chicken dip, tortilla soup, protein for tacos, and more.
