      kirkland diapers are made in the huggies factory so if you like huggies, thats your best option! My son uses pampers & honestly amazon subscription has been the best option, babies grow out of diapers so quickly sometimes you don’t need a costco size box

    Maybe you didn’t get the memo, but we don’t go to Walmart. They have the worst quality of items to buy the chicken and great value brand are the worst. You could possibly buy. It’s a couple of dollars less when we go to Costco because of the quality of the foodin large portions

    The non-organic chicken at Costco is a steal and very good quality. The diapers are great! It’s the only brand that didn’t make my son break out (aside from the super expensive brands we got for our baby shower).

  • @aiver.a
    @aiver.a Před 2 měsíci +38

    I’ve tried all different brands of diapers and the ones that have worked out the best for my babies are Huggies and Kirkland. Which makes sense because Huggies makes the Kirkland branded diapers. Other brands leaked easily and cause irritation. Diapers are just such a personal matter you have to go with the ones that work best for your baby.

    True, sale chicken is always available at other grocers. The only problem is that it isn’t always as fresh. Consistency is the best thing about Costco meat. However, some don’t notice freshness as much as others.

    Yeah coke, milk, chicken, and canned goods are all cheaper here at my Costco. They are asking $7-8 bucks for 12 cans of soda now. You have to buy at least 3 boxes to get near the 35 cans you get at Costco at 16.99. That would be $21-24 in the store. We buy bulk chicken that lasts us 3-6 months in the freezer for multiple meals.
