Yahoo Finance I’m a Costco Superfan: These Are the 6 Highest Quality Kirkland Products You’ll Find Outside of the Grocery Section
Most Costco shoppers agree that 90% or more of Kirkland Signature foods are of the highest quality. With a few noteworthy exceptions, you can trust the KS brand to be as good, or better, than national brands, and you’ll save money, too.

Make sure to look for the distinctive Kirkland Signature logo when you venture beyond the grocery aisles of your local Costco. You’ll find many high-quality items, from clothing to cleaning products that will help you save money everyday.
1. Kirkland Signature Men’s Polo
Costco is often praised, but sometimes mocked, for its men’s clothing selection. If durability, style, and a low price classifies a clothing item as “dad clothes,” then Dad must be doing something right with his wardrobe.
Kirkland Signature men’s polo shirts, normally $15 but now just $12, are the perfect example. The contrast pique fabric trim adds a hint of style. Choose from mint, gray, or blue for spring and summer.
2. Ladies’ Lightweight Joggers
Costco also offers Kirkland Signature-branded styles for women at unbeatable prices. Grab these Ladies’ Lightweight Jogging Pants with a drawstring and comfy elastic waistband. These joggers come in a choice of blue, green, or black, and feature side pockets and moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool, all for $15.
3. Kirkland Signature AA and AAA Batteries
For just $16 for a 48-count package of AA or AAA batteries, KS alkaline batteries represent a tremendous bargain. Plus, even if you don’t go through a ton of batteries, they have a 12-year shelf life, so you really can’t lose by stocking up.
4. Kirkland Signature Ultra Clean HE Liquid Laundry Detergent
Liquid laundry detergent isn’t cheap, but it’s not exactly a product you can do without. If you have a front-loading dryer, you’ll want to use high efficiency laundry soap to ensure your clothes don’t end up with soap residue. Target charges $20 for 132 oz. of Tide High Efficiency Liquid Laundry Detergent, enough for 100 loads of laundry.
Kirkland Signature Ultra Clean High Efficiency Liquid Laundry detergent offers nearly 50% more product for the same price. You’ll get 194 fl. oz., enough for 146 loads, for $20 at Costco. You can also choose KS hypo-allergenic “Ultra Clean Free & Clear” HE detergent for the same price and size.
5. Kitchen Trash Bags
Most kitchen trash bags today provide similar quality, whether you choose Glad, Target’s “up & up” brand, or Kirkland Signature from Costco. Look for extra strong bags with flex or stretch technology to hold more, and drawstring ties that make them easy to carry. Costco sells 200 13-gallon KS bags with Flex-Tech and handles for just $20, or 10 cents per bag. The up & up brand goes for $17 for 100 bags, or 17 cents a bag. Meanwhile, similar Glad bags with ForceFlex technology go for $22, or 22 cents a bag at Target. This is one household product savvy shoppers will always want to pick up at Costco.
6. Gasoline
