Costco launched Kirkland Signature in 1995 to consolidate its private labels and reduce consumer confusion. Today, the brand is a money-generating machine that, according to The Wall Street Journal, made about $86 billion in the financial year 2023-24. For context, Costco reported a total revenue of $254 billion in the 52 weeks ending September 1, 2024. The figure is also a whopping $40 billion more than what Nike earned in the year leading up to May 2025.

Kirkland Signature's heavy whipped cream, emphasis on heavy, is the perfect Starbucks whipped cream dupe, as Starbucks customers likewise note the super thick and creamy consistency of Starbucks' whipped cream as one of its biggest draws. In contrast to other canned whipped cream brands like Reddi-Wip that are made with cream, Kirkland Signature heavy whipped cream is made with heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, as well as nonfat milk, sugar, and cellulose gum.

Considered the sweet Kirkland brand snack that will actually impress your palate, these candied nuts boast a minimal list of ingredients, which include pecans, sugar, butter, brown sugar, sea salt, natural flavor, and sunflower oil. Reviews praise them as the best ever and a more affordable choice when compared to other, more expensive brands. It's clear that these sweets are enjoyable on their own as an indulgent snack.

Canned food, canned meat especially, often gets a bad rap. Canned tuna is very popular, salmon to a lesser degree, but even Spam still has a stigma attached to it. Costco is really famous for some of its fresher deals. But when we went hunting for some hidden grocery gems, we were impressed by the canned chicken breast. It has over 5,600 five-star reviews on the Costco website alone. The chicken comes in a 6-pack of 12.5-ounce cans for $0.23 per ounce.

The "white" label here refers to the blank label that the reseller can customize with its own branding. In this case, all of the Kirkland products you find, from the tortilla chips to those super-cheap whiskies, aren't actually produced in-house by Costco. Its signature tortilla chips are most likely produced by Mission Foods, a company that specializes in Mexican food products.

The Wegmans Angus beef burgers offered a unique taste experience but were criticized for being overly greasy and spongy, impacting overall enjoyment.

Gavin Len, a pastry chef at Third Falcon in Brooklyn, said Costco is his go-to for many pantry staples, including Kirkland Signature Organic Peanut Butter. "It's creamy, and has simple ingredients. It's really just such a solid peanut butter," explained Gavin. "Plus you can get two huge jars of it for like $10 in stores. The price for quality just can't be beat."

The collaboration brings the same Nature's Path commitment to organic farming, environmental sustainability, and tasty goodness its customers have always expected - but in big Costco bags at relatively affordable prices.
