Costco’s Kirkland Signature line offers a host of fantastic products. Read on to see which ones you might really enjoy. [[{“value”:”

If you’ve ever shopped at Costco, you’ve no doubt seen the Kirkland Signature name all over the store. Kirkland is Costco’s signature store brand, and you’ll find it on a wide range of products, some of which are absolutely terrific buys. Here are five Kirkland products you may want to purchase on repeat.

1. Kirkland bakery muffins

It’s not just that Kirkland muffins are fluffy, moist, and delicious. It’s also the price that can’t be beat.

Now you should know that Costco prices can vary by location. But I live in a pretty high-cost area, and at my local Costco, a 12-count of jumbo muffins costs $9.99. I’d imagine that in most areas, the price is either the same or lower.

Meanwhile, I recently stopped at a local bakery with a friend to grab a muffin and cup of coffee, and they charged us $10 for two muffins that were way smaller than Costco’s version. And honestly, they weren’t as good.

Plus, Costco lets you mix up your muffins by the six-pack. So if you don’t want a dozen blueberry muffins, you can grab six of those and another six corn, chocolate, or vanilla chip muffins instead. Or at least that’s the current flavor selection at my local Costco. Yours might be different. And also, expect other options to show up seasonally, like pumpkin streusel during the fall.

2. Kirkland Signature Creamy Almond Butter

Some people don’t like almond butter and refer to it as peanut butter’s inferior cousin. As a lover of peanut butter myself, I can agree that the two are very different. But I also happen to love almond butter. And if you do, too, then you should make a point to buy yours from Costco.

The online price for Kirkland Signature Creamy Almond Butter is $7.49 for a 27-ounce jar. That amounts to $0.28 per ounce. Seeing as how my local supermarket charges $7.89 for 16 ounces, or $0.49 per ounce, the Kirkland version is way cheaper. And let me tell you — it’s quite possibly the best almond butter I’ve had.

Also, that $7.49 represents what you’ll pay for Kirkland almond butter online. Costco’s in-store prices are almost always cheaper.

3. Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets

So getting back to the topic of peanut butter, if you like pretzels, and you like peanut butter, then you’re going to love Kirkland’s peanut-butter-filled pretzel nuggets. They’re a hearty snack you can enjoy at just about any time of the day (I may, ahem, occasionally eat them for breakfast). I also like to take them along when I’m doing a longer hike.

You can buy a 55-ounce jar of these bad boys online for $11.99, or $0.22 per ounce. But again, you’re likely to pay less at the store.

4. Kirkland Signature Men’s Athletic Sock 8-pair, White

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Kirkland products are only of the food variety. You’ll find the Kirkland label on a host of items, apparel included.

Now in the past, I’ve brought home my fair share of comfy Kirkland loungewear items, from pajama pants to fleece sweatshirts. But those are really one-off purchases, as opposed to recurring ones. However, if you go through socks in your household like we do, then you may want to make a point to continuously stock up on the Kirkland version.

Kirkland’s men’s athletic socks, for example, tend to last longer than any other sock my husband has put on his body. And that’s saying a lot. Plus, he says these are the most comfortable pairs he owns, and he’s someone who’s been known to spend $20 on a single pair of socks to run in.

Now, we buy these Kirkland socks in packs of eight. And frankly, the price is so low that it no longer bothers me when his socks get grungy, worn, or lost (the working theory is that the dog hides and buries them in places, but who knows).

The online price for these Kirkland socks is $13.99, or $1.75 per pair. But check your local store to see what price it’s offering. And also, know that Kirkland makes a women’s sock, too.

5. Kirkland Signature Gasoline

One of the best Kirkland buys you can find isn’t something you can bring home in the trunk of your car. Rather, it’s something you put in your car — gasoline.

Now I can’t say that I’ve studied my car’s performance on a tank of Kirkland gas vs. a competitor’s. But I can say that Kirkland gas is the cheapest in my town by far. So I highly recommend visiting Costco when your tank is getting low so you can fill up with Kirkland gas yourself.

Kirkland products tend to be high in quality and low in cost. That’s a winning combination if I ever saw one. So I’d highly encourage you to give these Kirkland items a try if you’ve yet to bring them home (or, in the case of gas, put them in your tank) before.
