Kirkland Branded items that are NOT good

Olive Oil
Sea Salt

Toilet paper is the only thing the wife and I haven't liked.

We had a bad batch of chicken breasts a few years ago, and I haven't tried those again either. Was odd since all their other meats are good, but I just stick with Rouse's for that.

Turkey meat

Yeah, their packaged deli meat is kinda meh ..

Also, toilet paper is soft but does not rip easy and their gel dishwasher soap is marginal.

Not a fan of their blue cheese. Cheap, but VERY mild-tasting.

Really? We've always loved their blue cheese because it's been strong and stinky. The only time I've had better was when I asked Whole Foods to give me the most pungent, repulsive blue they had available.

To the OP - Chicken breasts. 2.99 a pound and chock full of water. Maybe the organic is better, but I get really frustrated when I cook their regular chicken and get a puddle of water in the pan.

The coffee isn't particularly good

I've not had the bleu cheese or lunch meat. I usually grill the chicken, and it's pretty good. I like the Kirkland EVOO.

Not much to avoid, then?

My wife and I were just talking about branching out and trying more Kirkland brand items, since Costco is right around the corner from our house.

You've never experienced Paul Allen's shitty trolling?? There's a first time for everything.

ETA You should be ashamed of yourself for falling for that one Darla.

I understand that the slimmer glass bottle is a higher quality EVOO than the bigger plastic bottle.

I like the stuff in the glass bottle labled "Tuscano". It is the one made for salads and drizzling.

Let's make sure to differentiate.

Huh? Their Columbian ground coffee is as good as ground Colombian gets. I love their whole been coffee. Though I haven't tried their regular house brand, because it's roasted by Starbucks. But I love their Costa Rican and Rwandan whole bean.
