If you're a Costco shopper, you might have noticed that a lot of products are more expensive now.

But you probably don't know that some items had price increases of as much as 47% over the last two years!

That includes quite a few Kirkland Signature products, which is the wholesale retailer's value brand.

So, here are 26 products at Costco Canada that are more expensive than they were in 2024 and 2023, along with how big the price hikes are.
