seems most of these are more a matter of taste/preference than quality.

on the quality front, ill say i didnt love the deli meats (but havent tried the RB that was called out as particularly good). Turkey and ham were "meh" at best. really cant think of much else that i have gotten that i wouldnt consider again.

Kirkland Signature Smoked Pulled Pork, 32 oz. That stuff was even nastier than expected.



Kirkland Signature 21/25 Tail-On Shrimp. Rubbery as hell.

I was disappointed that those beautiful, thick sliced deli meats were so "untasty". But the deli cheeses are very nice, and the jalapeno pimento cheese is really good.

I really don't care for their frozen seafoods, but then I don't like anyone's frozen seafood. They are way overpriced and have a weird texture.

We love the aforementioned pulled pork, When I put it on tortilla chips and cover with cheese and salsa, my picky grandkids go crazy for it.

I got the frozen wild caught Pacific Salmon and it's very good from Costco. Think it was $24 for 3lb's.

Toilet paper is the only thing we don't buy... Well mostly my wife's preference.

Kirkland brand beer is terrible too.

Costco frozen scallops are awesome though, so is the coffee.

I like the Kirkland water. Tastes like Ozarka to me.

That is one of the things I don't like, no matter how I grill or broil it, it comes out dry.

Dunno, I usually defrost, little marinade and cook and room temp.

Not Kirkland, but I see where PJ's frozen burritos are no longer sold at Costco after PJ's tried to pull a slick one and cheapen their recipe...Good for Costco.

I had a similar experience with the whole, precooked unsliced turkey breasts. Thought it might be tastier than the presliced....completely tasteless. Blech.

I like the toilet paper.
And the aged Coastal Cheddar (not Kirklands brand, tho) is my official house cheese. What? You don't have a house cheese?

Not a fan of the Greek yogurt, too sweet.

huh?
The kirkland's plain greek yogurt is sweet? no.

The only ingredient is cultured milk. That's it, so how would any brand be less sweet?

Try the Pretty old Dubliner Irish Cheddar. Unbelievably good.

We buy the sliced Muenster cheese, not sure if it's kirklands or not, but it's pretty damn good

My dog did not care for their dog food either.
