10 Best Kirkland Signature Products Worth Having A Costco Membership For

These 10 products will make every penny of your Costco membership worth it.

The allure of strolling the aisles of Costco is to save money on some of your most-used household items. Like other money-saving warehouses, Costco has an in-house brand – Kirkland Signature – they use to sell products at even more affordable prices for consumers.

While you’ll no doubt get a great deal on Kirkland Signature paper towels and toilet paper, there are some hidden gems throughout the warehouse that consumers flock to over and over again. In fact, every product on this list has been marked as a favorite by consumers. We’ve rounded up the top Kirkland Signature products to check out the next time you head to Costco.

Kirkland Signature Organic Greek Nonfat Yogurt

Greek yogurt is often recommended as a healthy way to start the day thanks to its nutritional components and Costco’s version checks all the boxes for half the price. Rich in protein, calcium, and potassium, Kirkland’s Green Nonfat Yogurt sells for less than $8 for a 48 oz. tub.

Kirkland Signature Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil

Kirkland’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is consistently rated a best seller and a favorite among shoppers for both quality and price. A 2-liter bottle runs about .47/ounce comparative to premium olive oils that can get up to $2/ounce. Cold pressed and certified organic, it’s one of the best deals in the entire warehouse.

Kirkland Signature Italian Parmigiano Reggiano

One of the world’s best cheeses…by Kirkland? You bet. For $10.99/pound (compared to up to $40/pound at premiere cheesemongers), Kirkland Signature Italian Parmigiano Reggiano checks both boxes when looking for this beloved cheese: the Parmigiano Reggiano stamp on the rind of the cheese and the consortium logo, which appears as a wedge of cheese on the label.

Kirkland Signature Maple Syrup

Reddit users go crazy for Kirkland’s Maple Syrup and have a pretty lofty claim: “It's cheaper than what I bought when I lived in Vermont.” Retailing for $14.99, the grade A amber syrup is 100% pure maple syrup that gets tapped in Canada (specifically maple trees in Quebec) between March and April. For the real stuff, you won’t find a better deal.

Kirkland Signature Pesto

A 22-ounce jar of pesto using 100% imported Italian basil sounds like more pesto than one might ever need. It’s true – you definitely get your money’s worth for around $10 per jar - but the real joy in this Kirkland find is being able to freeze what might be on the verge of going bad. A Costco employee tells Southern Living she puts her Kirkland pesto in ice cube trays to freeze before placing the cubes into a freezer safe plastic bag to use as needed.

Kirkland Signature Chocolate Covered Raisins

For only $14.99 you can get nearly three and a half pounds of raisins coated in creamy milk chocolate, which may seem like more than you could ever eat. But Reddit users claim that not only are they “better than Raisinets,” but that the chocolate is rich and the raisins stay plump. “I eat them by the handful until I’m sick,” wrote one user.

Kirkland Signature Grass Fed Butter

Nothing makes a recipe taste more delicious than adding Kerrygold grass-fed butter, but it can be cost prohibitive to stock up on the brand’s popular grass-fed butter at around $1.60/ounce. Kirkland’s Signature Grass Fed Butter comes in at around .80/ounce and in our opinion – tastes richer. A side-by-side comparison of ingredients showed that Kirkland’s grass-fed butter has marginally lower sodium and is produced in New Zealand.

Kirkland Signature Croissants

The bakery section at Costco is a national treasure of freshly baked cakes, pies, desserts, and bread, not to mention multi-packs of bagels and breakfast pastries. But the crown jewel of Costco’s bakery are the Kirkland Signature Croissants, which come in a pack of 12. A single large, flaky croissant at a diner or coffee shop is usually around $4, so to get a dozen for $5.99 is a steal. At just .50/each, one Reddit user put it best, “Seriously, the croissants. They're almost enough to justify a membership by themselves."

Kirkland Signature Vodka

One stroll down the alcohol aisle of a Costco that carries it (sorry to report, not all Costcos are legally able to distribute booze), and you’ll notice that Kirkland branded alcohol is a steal. You may also notice how similarly bottles look to more popular (and expensive) brands. Long rumored to be produced by Grey Goose, Kirkland Signature Vodka ($19.99 for a handle) is a cut above the rest. While Grey Goose – comparatively sold for $45-50 per bottle – has put the rumor to rest, it’s a smooth and crisp taste that makes professional and at-home bartenders clamor for a bottle.

Kirkland Signature Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream

One Reddit user said they had to stop buying this after they gained ten pounds and another called the texture a dead-ringer for Coldstone Creamery. A thick vanilla ice cream with a true vanilla flavor, two half gallons (four quarts) are priced at $12.99, compared to an average of $4-6/each at a grocery store. The only real problem is finding storage space!
