You can find a lot of Kirkland Signature products at Costco, including some you might not even know about.

These items are dupes of well-known name brands and look very similar.

Kirkland Signature is Costco's store brand that offers "the lowest possible prices," so members get a "better value" when shopping at the wholesale retailer.

There are food items like coffee, maple syrup, honey, cream cheese, olive oil, granola bars and water, and household products like freezer bags, ibuprofen, detergent pods, laundry beads and paper towels.
