If you want to buy Halloween candy and chocolate at Costco this year, the retailer has Kirkland Signature versions you might not know about.
These items are cheaper than name brands and include more treats.
Kirkland Signature products are usually dupes of name-brand items, but these Kirkland packages actually have name-brand chocolates and candies!
That means you can save money by getting the assorted Kirkland product instead of multiple boxes of different candies and chocolates.
Now, let's get into the Kirkland packages of Halloween chocolate and candy you can get at Costco Canada stores, and the price differences with name-brand boxes.
