- Leaky batteries, rotisserie chicken, and bad diapers?! Costco is all about convenience, but some of their Kirkland products don’t really live up to their signature name.

What Kirkland items would you swear by?
Kirkland Prosecco 🥂
Not the 3 berry blend.
(Or, YOU need to really "read" the package.)
Raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Not a single strawberry to be found!

Roasted chicken, any kind of nuts, hot dogs, pizza, chocolate cup cakes, sheet cakes, Linzer Cookies, Kirkland chocolate chip cookies, Kirkland mixed chocolate chip/macadamia nut/oatmeal cookies, toblerone chocolate, french bread and ribs. There's probably more stuff I can add, but those are the main items that come to my mind now
You know what would be nice. Is if they would bring back the Mango Salsa!!!!
Kirkland Signature beef and sausage Frozen lasagna! 24 minutes in the microwave and you get two trays and a package for about 18 bucks. Each pan has at least six servings in it and is the best lasagna I've ever tasted!
Kirkland peepads for my pets
Kirkland Signature paper towels are one of my favorites also a fan of the Kirkland Signature 13 gallon trash bags.
Suggestion. Fill up with gas BEFORE shopping. Your frozen and perishable foods will defrost while waiting on line.
I buy two rotisserie chickens for my corgi and I mix them with her food . She loves it .
Dog food roast chicken, used to ❤️ kroger roast chicken
They are tasty, but has a lot of additional seasonings( ok fir dogs?!
@@annchee1329 - Agree, a lot of salt. Small amount okay, not too often.
You are comparing Kirkland 2 ply toilet tissue to Scott single ply. Most people use twice as much or more of single ply, so it is not a good comparison.
Kirkland's French vodka is also a great bargain. Just as good, if not better than Grey Goose, at a fraction of the price.
Kirkland 3ply toilet paper was always a good deal compared to competitors based on price and comfort. The difference is wiping your bottom with a soft sheet vs. A sheet of razors
Grandpa was a WWII vet, and oh, the stories he'd tell about TP in Europe, be it indigenous or GI.....and how blessed we "at home" are.
Some good deals there, but you'd have to say that the sizable rotisserie chicken at $5 takes the trophy.
Aww cute :3
Instead of ground coffee, just buy a smaller grinder and get coffee beans (best price in the market at costco) to have freshly grounded cup every day
Also, coffee lasts longer if kept cold-so keeping it in the fridge will help.
Need it to stay fresh even LONGER? Then freeze it.
Maybe take the quantity that you will use in a reasonably short time, and refrigerate it, and freeze the rest of it.
Costco has the best value for whole bean coffee, especially the Kirkland 2.5lb French Roast vs. Starbucks brand
@@m.k.8158 I store my coffee beans in an air-tight container.
We live 65 miles from our local Costco. Many of their products have no competition when it comes to quality and price, and that includes Amazon.
65 miles? WOW! Mine is 2 miles from my house.
The Kirkland detergent Free & Clear made my skin itch and burn (and yes, I have a condition making me extra sensitive to these kinds of things). It used to be great, but when the reformulated for "efficiency" it became an irritant.
I second that!!! gave me a rash!!!😒😒
Costco have’s great food and great flavor tastes freshness is always there.
Excellent work! I have had terrible luck with leaky Kirkland batteries. The dark roast coffee jumped from $9/3 Lb to about $15 now. Still a good values for "regular" daily coffee. I wish they would start selling a Kirkland brand Nespresso pod. And I always buy the rotisserie chicken; I taks my digital scale with me as I have seen the chicken weights vary by over a 1/2 Lb! Never below the stated weight, but sometimes way more!
❤️Kirkland Prosecco 🥂
Agree that the rotisserie chickens are a must.
Who spills their milk like a baby?? Been drinking that for 10 plus years no spill
How hard is it to pour a glass of milk
@@ken3923 according to Mashed difficulty level 99
Love Kirkland brand Org Berries, Italian Org Olive Oil & the toilet paper. 👍😊
Scotts TP is see through
Scott’s has to be the WORST brand around 😩
@@annedon776 Ding. Always has been the cheapest and the cheapest.
...part of the false economy calculus.
Kirkland orange juice is really good. Not from concentrate , from california oranges. Its better than Simply Orange or Tropicana and its a cheaper
The rotisserie chickens, olive oil, vinegar, chicken stock, baguettes, and eyeglasses/contacts.
STORY TIME:
My grandma used to buy Costco Brand Vodka. Think Grey Goose but COSTCO (sized)
Alrighty well, back when, my cousin and I used to steal from her bottle when we were 15 and 16 years old...
And we would replace the stolen liquor with none other than!
Tap water.
Fast forward 6 years, we're talking with our grandma and she mentions how she, "will never buy Costco Brand Vodka again. It just wasn't good, tasted like rubbing alcohol!"
Que uncontrollable laughter 😂🤣😂🤣😂
All secrets were out after that LOL
We're going to miss these days..
😂
Kirkland vodka is really nice, of good quality.
Ya I got in shit for doing that hahaha
It was worth the stretch lol
Good times they were !
Ding. Thank you.
@@avagosiewski2018 it really is !!
Kirkland toilet paper is still the same size roll as it has always been. Most of its competitors have cut the width of a roll by almost an inch.. they also pack the roll alot less tight which seems like your getting the same but you get less.. so costco TP is my go too..
Go to for #2?
@William Robinson: Toooo true. Have you noticed breakfast cereal boxes? Then there are Hershey's candy bars.
@@FirewindII I did notice the size of Hershey Bars is much smaller and the small boxes of all cereals is much smaller. Probably much less in that little box as well
I’ve had to clean up so many corroded Kirkland batteries. Eventually they started leaking while still in the package and well before the Use By date. Thank god for vinegar.
Read the label on Kirkland balsamic vinegar
I bought a tray of their drumsticks ,wow they were good I got a few meals from them made up some mashed potatoes cravy and butter corn. Thanks costco keep making them along with the chickens..
The garlic pepper ones? Those are really good.
@Arizona John Yes. The rotisserie (cooked) whole legs for $5. A dark meat lover, I love 'em. There's so much more to consume per pound than the whole rotisserie chicken, and they're much easier to eat.
They are a great deal because surplus rotisserie white meat goes to prepared fresh dishes like alfredo and caesar salads and casseroles (enchilada).
If they're not in the case, I ask and they're always glad to make them up on the spot.
Scott toilet tissue is not a good value. the sheets are very thin and requires you to use more to be effective. TP in my opinion isn't an item I would try to save pennies on.
Totally agree. I used Scott in my starving college days. Worst on the market. Vowed never again, and have only gotten the best available ever since. Costco's is mid-range, but it was there during lockdown -- once they got their supply chain truckin' again.
I used to swear by Kirkland Batteries but like you stated I have had more and more issues where the Kirkland Batteries that I have in devices that sit not being used a lot with leaking batteries. It has even ruined one or two of my devices. I have since switched over to the Duracell Batteries and would recommend everyone avoid the Kirkland Batteries at all costs
The Kirkland batteries especially the AAA size have ruined so many of my items due to leaking. WORST PRODUCT EVER!!!
Kleenex tissues also offer an anti-viral tissue. Great during cold & flu season. 🤧😷🤒
The rotisserie chicken and the croissant are good price! Eggs are good price too better than grocery store. I don’t like the Costco ads for how much saving on many items but it doesn’t posted the original price??? How we know how much saving when we don’t know the original price??? I don’t like the Costco ads. I shopping there once a month small shopping only for my husband a I . Don’t want to get gas there cause long line waiting to me it’s not worth save 10 cents or so to waiting on long line unless have go there very early not many people online?
I love their kirkland sport drinks
I use Persil. It cleans the best.
I got a package of batteries from Costco last year that leaked within a month. But it was a package of Duracells.
"...fermiliar..." Love it.
I love Caprese salad! I'm a fan of Kirkland bacon too. The giant pre-cooked package is pretty decent.
Salty cashews don’t 😢compare to raw unseasoned
The new, smaller Kirkland sized small dog food (biscuits) bones have some that are burned hard or on the baking shelf where this happens. Maybe the baking/cooking time should be shortened a little bit!?
Thank god for vinegar.
Why? Not to disagree, but please say more?
My Costco Hearing Aid Center will not sell me a Kirkland Signature 10.0 w/tcoil hearing aid. They seem to be pushing me to a higher price (larger commission) hearing aid.
The whole hearing aid marketplace structure has fundamentally changed since they were de-prescriptionized.
Costco, ya gotta do it: Fried chicken filet sandwich a la Chick-fil-A -- in the food court. You can price it to crush all the chains that are already doing it. (Supermarkets have joined the game, but their quality sucks. Jack in the Box just joined in.) Do it!
Costco should give you a spout extension for their milk
Oh lord. You all pay 30 plus bucks for Costco tp? Not in PA! It’s usually under 20.
Yah, their chicken is great. But it isn't $4.99 in Canada. I believe it is up to $9.99 now which is still a decent price as compared to grocery stores. Kirkland dog food also good. Kirkland really doesn't have any bad products that have tried.
$5.42 delivered in the U.S.
Your right it is 9.99 in Canada it’s still a couple dollars cheaper than any you can find in a grocery store
@@michaeldhondt368 But why is it significantly higher than across the border?
Lovely,,don’t hate brand
All is well, supportive of local brands in USA. But nonchalant, nothing is made in America 🇺🇸
3 ply facial tissue used to be available and worth it, cat litter and cat food national brands we used are now Kirkland. The lasagna has nearly doubled in price and the container is smaller. A useless membership fee was refunded in full.
Just the huge savings from their coupons - which they mail out monthly. Plus - the check they mail out for using their Citibank Visa Card. Plus - their 2 year warranty on all big and small appliances/electronics. Plus - their very easy to return policies. I LOVE COSTCO. Luckily, there's a Costco 10 minutes from my house. And - I order lots of items on-line - fast delivery and very well packaged.
@Sandy Rose ● The automatic free warranty extension is going bye-bye this year.
● they doubled the price on their frozen lasagna and sell it in smaller packages.
● they stopped selling the cat food and litter brands we used, you don't just willy nilly change cat food with four cats, and I'm not buying boutique size cat food either.
○ Costco was about 20 miles closer, and had hardly anything we wanted to buy, Sam's did.
○ not everyone qualifies for their credit card.
○ not everyone is in the market for what they put on sale in the monthly flyer.
☆ take your noisy brats to Costco so I don't have them running unsupervised while I'm shopping at Sam's.
●● ●● ● if they sold the cat products we needed, we would have to drive in, or pay horrendous shipping costs, a case of cat food 80# of litter and a 25# bag of dry cat food each month or our four cats would starve.. they all are RESCUES
@@sandyrose2398 - I am with you on all.
@@sandyrose2398 They have weekly sales, too. Online, anyway.
@@sandyrose2398 @Sandy Rose: W/r/t packaging: ...especially their fresh eggs.
Kirkland Popcorn and “100%” extra virgin olive oil for about $16 December 2022.
Starbuck's is arguably the best store bought coffee brand? Once again, Mashed shows really poor taste. And buying in bulk is only an issue for fools who don't store their grounds in the freezer.
I agree. Starbuck's is mediocre at best
Costco needs to sell beer and liquor in the Canadian stores. I dislike making another stop just for beer...
booze! their beer and tequila are just as good as the name brand stuff!
It doesn't apply to Hawaii
Don’t hate on Costco or Kirkland
Hi
Hello
Oh no! I hate vinegar because I will sickness of acidic from stupid very sour!
15$ maple syrup and 20$ extra virgin olive oil isn’t cheap!
That price for REAL maple is a bargain, you don’t know what your talking about
I got 3 L of 100% olive oil extra-virgin for about $16 the other day. That’s a very good price that’s some thing labeled 100% pure olive oil. Virtually every other brand adds cheap other oils to their olive oil. I got the one that said 100% because that’s what I wanted and for $16, I couldn’t be happier.
Thick toilet 🚽 paper is bad for the pipes
Rotisserie chicken not fully cooked inside theres still blood
We buy a lot (I mean A LOT) of Costco rotisserie chicken, and this has never happened to me. I think what happened to you is pretty rare.
@@idalily3810 IC what U did here. 😄
Worst Kirklands' muffins and cakes-gross AF! Cardboard tastes better and may be better for you! I Hate Folgers and Maxwell House coffee, also instant!
Kirkland diapers are terrible
Their rotisserie chicken isn’t very good anymore.
Do you listen for the bell?
Scott is the worst!!!
Rotisserie chicken at Costco is horrible. It doesn’t even taste like chicken. Don’t buy it !
I am just buying it for my dogs !!!
Your Costco must suck. Ours, the chicken is fantastic.
Rotisserie chicken : cheap but bad - overcooked, the drumstick ends that attach to the thighs are so over cooked that the meat is tough and dry ! That's DARK meat ! ! The breast meat is stringy and tough and dry ! Sure, cheap - but not good !
what kind of drugs are you on
@@ken3923 😂
I've never gotten a chicken from Costco that is what you describe.
It's more like the seasoning for me. I don't know what tastes so chemically, but it has a scary aftertaste.
@steven k Do you know about the bell?
Kirkland chicken SUCKS ! !
