You probably know that Kirkland Signature products at Costco cost less than name brands.

But you might not realize that quite a few are also cheaper than Walmart's Great Value versions.

Both retailers offer these products as less expensive dupes of name-brand items though it seems like one store has a greater value right now.

Here are a dozen Kirkland Signature items at Costco Canada that are cheaper than Great Value products at Walmart Canada.
