36 Exclusive Kirkland Items You Can Only Get At Costco (They’re Worth the Trip!)

If you've ever wondered why Costco parking lots are perpetually packed, the answer might just be hiding in the distinctive red and black Kirkland Signature logo. These store-brand products have transformed from simple alternatives to genuine shopping destinations – items that members specifically seek out and stock up on during their warehouse runs.

What makes Kirkland products so compelling isn't just their price point (though the savings are certainly impressive). It's the consistent quality-to-value ratio that turns first-time buyers into devoted fans. From premium food items to household essentials, these products deliver name-brand quality without the marketing markup.

I've rounded up 36 Kirkland Signature products that consistently earn their space in shopping carts (including mine!) across the country. These aren't just random picks – they're the items that Costco members deliberately seek out, the products that inspire bulk storage solutions and the satisfaction of knowing you've found something genuinely worth buying again and again.

Milk Chocolate Almonds

The chocolate + nut combo is a classic. The oversized container holds a generous 3 pounds of perfectly roasted almonds wrapped in silky milk chocolate. Fair warning though: once opened, these have a mysterious way of disappearing faster than you'd expect!

Parmigiano Reggiano

This parmigiano reggiano is seriously one of the best out there. It's a genuine Italian masterpiece that transforms any dish it touches. Imported directly from Italy with the official designation seal, this isn't just cheese – it's a culinary heritage in a wedge!

Aged for a full 24 months, each piece develops that perfect crystalline texture and rich, nutty complexity that mass-produced alternatives simply can't match.

Peanut Butter Pretzels

My pantry is never seen without these peanut butter pretzels. The salty and sweet combination simply can't be beat. These pretzels have achieved cult status among Costco shoppers for good reason - they deliver consistent quality and value that keeps members coming back again and again.

Egg Bites

Ta-dah, here's breakfast in a pinch! Plus, with these, there's no need to run through the Starbucks drive-thru (again) for their signature egg bites and a coffee. These egg bites are just as tasty, and you'll save money on your typical morning. They even have two flavor options, so stock up on them to keep on hand.

Salsa

Kirkland has an impressive lineup of organic items. What makes this Kirkland salsa stand out is the commitment to quality ingredients - organic diced tomatoes lead the ingredient list, followed by a perfect blend of jalapeños, onions, and cilantro. This salsa is perfect for taco nights, egg dishes, or adding instant flavor to any chicken recipe.

Burnt Ends

My mouth waters just looking at this package. It's no secret that the burnt ends are some of the most coveted pieces from a beef brisket. These Kirkland burnt ends are the BBQ hack every busy meat lover needs to discover (if you haven't already).

For anyone who appreciates good BBQ but doesn't have the time or equipment (or maybe even the patience) to create it from scratch, these burnt ends deliver that sought-after smoky, tender experience without the wait.

Chicken Sipping Bone Broth

This organic chicken sipping bone broth is one of my favorite Kirkland offerings. I sip on one cup in the mornings to start my day off with an easy 9 grams of protein. The six-pack packaging provides excellent value, with each resealable carton preserving freshness until you're ready to enjoy it.

For health-conscious Costco members, these bone broth cartons have become something of a pantry essential - offering nutrition, convenience, and versatility. Whether you're embracing wellness trends or simply appreciate quality ingredients, this bone broth delivers consistent value that keeps shoppers returning for more.

Olive Oil

Kirkland has a few different olive oil selections. However, what makes this particular olive oil a Costco favorite is the balance of quality and quantity. The substantial bottles provide enough oil to last through countless family meals, while the blend offers a higher smoke point than pure extra virgin olive oil - perfect for sautéing and everyday cooking needs. This Kirkland olive oil set offers remarkable value.

Protein Bars

These protein bars represent the perfect balance of nutrition and taste that busy shoppers look for. Each box contains 20 individually wrapped bars with impressive nutritional stats - 20-22g of protein, just 2g of sugar, and 10g of fiber per serving. The gluten-free formulation makes them accessible to those with dietary restrictions, too.

One box features Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavors, while the other box offers Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk and Cookies and Cream options—yum!

Almond Butter

What makes this almond butter particularly noteworthy is its straightforward ingredient profile. The simple, natural formulation focuses on the almonds themselves rather than unnecessary additives. The texture strikes that ideal balance – smooth enough to spread easily but with enough substance to satisfy serious nut butter enthusiasts. With 200 calories per serving, it delivers a satisfying combination of healthy fats and protein.

Dried Blueberries

I love Kirkland's dried organic blueberries. They're perfect for snacking, tossing on a salad, or your morning oatmeal. The generously-sized bag provides excellent value compared to the tiny packages you'll find at conventional grocery stores. The USDA Organic certification means you're getting fruit grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which is particularly important for berries.

For anyone looking to incorporate more antioxidant-rich foods into their diet, these blueberries offer convenience without compromise.

Chunk Chicken Breast

From chicken salad to casseroles, the Kirkland canned chicken breast will become your best friend in the kitchen. With 13g of protein per serving, these convenient cans provide a nutritional powerhouse that's ready whenever inspiration strikes.

The multi-pack format ensures you'll always have this versatile ingredient on hand. Labeled as "extra-lean" and packed in water rather than oil, these chunks maintain their texture and flavor without unnecessary additives.

Marinara Sauce

Is pasta night one of your family's favorites? If so, the Kirkland marinara sauce is about to make your pasta night yummier and easier!

What makes this marinara stand out is its clean, premium ingredient list. Made with vine-ripened California tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil, the label proudly highlights "no tomato paste added" – an important distinction that contributes to its fresh, homemade taste. The USDA Organic certification ensures you're getting ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Beyond the obvious pasta applications, this versatile sauce works wonderfully as a pizza base, in casseroles, or as a dipping sauce.

Almond Flour

This almond flour brings premium baking versatility to your pantry with its fine, consistent texture perfect for gluten-free cooking. The packaging highlights the blanched processing method, which removes the skins from the almonds before grinding, resulting in that desirable pale color and neutral flavor profile that works across sweet and savory applications.

What makes this almond flour particularly appealing is the quality-to-value ratio that Kirkland consistently delivers. The generous bag size provides enough for multiple baking projects, unlike the tiny (and pricey!) packages found at specialty stores.

Pecans

The giant bags of Kirkland nuts are definitely one of Costco's top sellers. One time, I saw a man fill up one of those flat carts with boxes and boxes of pecans plus big sugar bags. I'm guessing he was gathering his ingredients for those yummy candied nuts we all love. And if he's loading up on his goods at Costco, you know it must be a good deal.

Frozen Beef Patties

Tossing hamburgers on the grill gets a whole lot easier with the help of these Kirkland frozen beef patties. They have quite a few options—ground sirloin, ground beef, and even grass-fed beef (not pictured). These are one of my favorites at Costco—the price point, taste, and convenience is unmatched. Customize them with toppings how you would on any burger, and you've got a winner of a meal!

Albacore Tuna

This albacore tuna packs incredible protein value. Each multipack contains eight substantial 7-ounce cans – larger than the standard 5-ounce tins typically found in grocery stores. The packaging highlights both "wild caught" certification and the impressive 42 grams of protein per can, appealing to my fellow health-conscious shoppers. This combination of quality and quantity delivers exceptional value compared to purchasing individual premium tuna cans elsewhere.

These versatile tuna cans work beautifully in everything from classic tuna salad to protein-packed pasta dishes and quick lunch wraps. For Costco members looking to maintain a protein-rich pantry without sacrificing quality, these albacore multipacks offer the perfect balance of nutrition, convenience, and value that makes them a recurring addition to shopping carts.

Dried Mangoes

The selection of dried fruit at Costco is unrivaled. They even have lots of organic dried fruit options, too. The resealable design maintains freshness between snacking sessions, making these perfect for everything from lunchboxes to hiking trips or office desk drawers.

Blue Agave

This organic blue agave sweetener offers a versatile alternative to traditional sugar. The amber color of the agave itself indicates proper processing methods that preserve the natural characteristics of the plant. Each bottle contains a substantial amount of sweetener, offering excellent value compared to specialty store options.

Perfect for tea, coffee, smoothies, or as a replacement in recipes calling for honey or maple syrup, this organic blue agave represents Kirkland's commitment to bringing specialty ingredients into more accessible price ranges.

Frozen Berry Blend

The frozen berries at Costco are one of the best deals you'll ever find for frozen fruit! They have mixed berry options, tropical fruit, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, and more.

What makes these frozen berries particularly impressive is the quality of the fruit inside. Each berry appears individually quick-frozen at peak ripeness, preserving both the nutritional value and the vibrant colors. The packaging highlights their versatility - "Great for Smoothies" - while also noting the nutritional benefits as a "Good Source of Vitamin C" and fiber.

Peanut Butter

It's not a proper trip to Costco if I don't stock up on the Kirkland organic peanut butter. These jars go fast in my household, and I'm certainly glad each pack comes with two. This peanut butter is great for quick snacking and an easy source of protein.

What makes this peanut butter particularly noteworthy is its simple, organic ingredient list. Made with 100% U.S. Valencia peanuts (as stated on the label), this spread delivers that authentic peanut flavor without unnecessary additives or excessive sugar.

Tomato Sauce

This tomato sauce brings pantry convenience to a new level. Each box contains 12 individual 15-ounce cans, providing lots of organic tomato sauce that serves as the foundation for countless meals.

What sets this tomato sauce apart is its ingredient quality. The packaging highlights "vine-ripened organic California Roma tomatoes" - specifically calling out both the variety and origin of the tomatoes used. The USDA Organic certification ensures these tomatoes were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, resulting in clean, bright flavor.

For Costco members who cook regularly, this case represents smart shopping - eliminating frequent trips for single cans while offering the economy of bulk purchasing without sacrificing quality.

Honey

Raw, unfiltered, local honey? Yes, please. I love how each Costco's Kirkland brand uses a local source. So whether you're in the midwest like me, or in the South, your Kirkland honey will come from bees in your local area. And, you won't be paying the premium for local honey that you'd normally find in grocery stores.

Frozen Tempura Shrimp

These tempura shrimp boxes represent restaurant-quality convenience right from your freezer. Each generously-sized package contains 30 individual butterfly shrimp encased in a delicate, crispy tempura batter - perfect for entertaining or creating impressive weeknight meals with minimal effort.

When you need a reliable appetizer or protein option that feels special without requiring special effort, these tempura shrimp answer the call beautifully.

Costco also has other types of Kirkland shrimp offerings (not pictured) if you want more than tempura.

Almonds

These versatile almonds work beautifully across multiple uses - from straight snacking to baking ingredients, homemade trail mix creation, or nut milk production. The natural, unflavored profile means they can adapt to whatever culinary application you have in mind.

Organic Kombucha

This organic kombucha brings premium craft brewing to the convenience of a Costco multipack. The packaging showcases both the USDA Organic and Certified RAW credentials, highlighting the "live and active" nature of this fermented beverage.

The nutritional highlights are prominently featured, including the impressive "2 billion CFU probiotic cultures" - speaking to the gut-health benefits many kombucha drinkers seek. The "craft-brewed" designation indicates attention to quality and traditional brewing methods rather than mass production techniques.

For health-conscious Costco members looking to incorporate more functional beverages into their routine, this kombucha delivers both flavor variety and practical value.

Frozen Breaded Cod

Kirkland won't steer you wrong when it comes to frozen meals. This seasoned breaded cod is wild caught and gluten-free, perfect for popping in the oven for a quick yet tasty weeknight meal.

Vanilla Ice Cream

Did someone say dessert? What makes this ice cream particularly noteworthy is Kirkland's commitment to the "Super Premium" designation - a classification that guarantees higher butterfat content and less air whipped into the mixture. The result is that distinctively rich, dense texture that coats your spoon (and your palate) with true vanilla flavor rather than just sweetness. I always try to keep this ice cream stocked in my freezer.

Coconut Water

This coconut water stands out with its clean, simple ingredients. Or shall I say "ingredient" since it's literally just that—organic coconut water! Since this coconut water is the refrigerated option, that means that it has not been heat-treated at all, maintaining all of the great hydrating benefits of coconut water.

Fully Cooked Bacon

You can guarantee that you'll always find a pack of this full cooked bacon in my fridge (or an extra stash in my freezer). It makes for the quickest and tastiest (hello, it's bacon!) addition to breakfast, or even as a snack in the afternoon when the bacon craving strikes.

Brie Cheese

If you love cheese, you'll love Kirkland's cheese offerings. This imported French double cream brie is made in Normandy, and will easily become one of your favorite bries out there. From snacking to elevated dishes, this brie can do it all.

Wine

Kirkland's wine selection keeps Costco members coming back repeatedly. They offer reds, whites, rosés, and even sparkling options. Whatever the occasion, Kirkland can fill your wine needs. What makes the Kirkland wine program particularly impressive is their direct relationship with quality producers.

Beer

Kirkland's beer selection delivers craft quality with warehouse pricing in this partnership with respected Deschutes Brewery. The cases feature 12 cans of Helles-Style Lager at 4.5% ABV, indicating a balanced, approachable brew perfect for various occasions.

These 12-packs represent the clever value proposition that makes Kirkland beer options so appealing - craft brewery quality at significantly lower per-can pricing than you'd find for the same brewery's branded offerings elsewhere.

For Costco members looking to stock the refrigerator with reliable, everyday beer that doesn't sacrifice flavor or quality, these cases deliver consistent satisfaction.

Pants

The Costco clothing section should not go unnoticed. Some of my favrotie clothes have actually come from Costco!

Unlike traditional clothing stores with predictable seasonal rotations, Costco's apparel selection operates on what shopping experts call the "treasure hunt" model. Today's designer jeans might be replaced by winter coats next week, creating that must-decide-now shopping urgency that makes finding something you love feel like winning a small lottery.

The Kirkland brand boasts quality, practicality, and value for all of its clothing pieces.

Batteries

Batteries tend to be one of those household items where you can't find them when you need them. But since Kirkland's batteries are so affordable, you can easily stock up on these to keep on hand. Their affordability makes it so you won't ever have to find yourself in that situation.

Engine Oil

These engine oil packages represent the practical side of Costco's automotive section with their straightforward, information-focused design. No frills needed there.

For Costco members with diesel vehicles or equipment, these multipacks deliver professional-grade engine protection without the specialty shop markup. The clear labeling system eliminates guesswork, while the consistent sizing creates an organized display that makes shopping efficiently possible even in Costco's bustling environment.

Why Kirkland Keeps Us Coming Back

Costco's approach combines quality sourcing, minimal marketing, and bulk economics to deliver products that frequently outperform their higher-priced competitors.

The true genius of Kirkland Signature lies in understanding what shoppers actually value. Rather than cutting corners on ingredients or materials, they streamline packaging, eliminate middlemen, and leverage massive purchasing power to deliver genuine quality at warehouse prices.

For Costco members, these 30 items represent more than just smart shopping – they're proof that store brands can transcend their reputation as mere alternatives and become genuine preferences. In a retail landscape where brand loyalty is increasingly rare, Kirkland Signature has accomplished something remarkable: creating products so consistently satisfying that members will renew their annual fees just to maintain access.
