Employees reveal the best Costco hacks

Kirkland isn’t the best brand

When in doubt, the generic or store brand product is usually going to be the cheapest option when you go shopping. Kirkland is Costco’s store brand and while it is cheap, make sure you select products from the brand wisely.

Consumer Reports found varying grades of quality when it came to the Kirkland brand. For example, they did find that bacon and maple syrup from Kirkland are fine but not coffee and dishwasher gel packs.
