If you don't know about Kirkland Signature, it's the store brand that's meant to ensure products are at an "even better value" for Costco members.
Great Value is Walmart's store brand that also has name-brand dupes, but some items don't actually have a better value than Kirkland.
So, here are a few Kirkland products at Costco Canada stores that are cheaper than Great Value versions at Walmart Canada stores.
