Plus very good Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tuscan and Spanish EVOO's are both top notch, top quality Kirkland Signature Solid White Albacore Tuna, Kirkland Signature Lasagna (6 lbs!), great crescent rolls and, at least here in Los Angeles, French bread from La Brea Bakery.


It is what Sam's will never be. They have great products, treat their employees well and their customers as well.

I like that one better than the Italian sausage one, which comes two to a pack.

Love the turkey provolone sammich at the snack bar.

The rotisserie chickens are cheap as hell, but I find them criminally unseasoned. Bland, blah, no taste beyond plain roasted chicken. So I don't buy them unless I need cooked chicken for another dish. I kept tossing out 1/3 of a chicken after a week, so,they weren't such a value after all.

Same here. Even though it's just my wife and me now and we have a ton of leftovers I just like that one better.

Interesting. I wonder if it varies from state to sate? The Costco where I shop the chicken is well seasoned. But I usually end up doing something with it anyway where I'm adding my own seasoning, like chicken tacos, chicken/sausage jambalaya, etc.

The prime rib caps are very good, so is the fresh squeezed gallon Kirkland OJ in a gallon. Kirkland granola bars are good and I really like their tequila and margarita mix.

You can buy the cap (spinalis)? This could get silly for me.

hah yeah I kept an eye out for all the good stuff.

I'm excited about the vodka.. $14 a handle will save me lots of $$ this summer. It's just about vodka drinking weather.

It is always vodka weather in my opinion. I will surely check that out.


Thanks wick. I will send you my cardiology bill.

Their ready to drink margaritas are good. They also have packs of individual serving size chicken salad made with yogurt and cranberries and walnuts that are really good. Ready to cook salmon with the seasoned butter is very good.

We buy dog food there. They have a brand there (not Kirklands but it is a store brand for them) that is grain free. My dog who has itchy skin when he eats grain-filled food does great on it.

And gas. That will pay for your membership if you buy much gas at all during a year.

That's the American vodka, and it's what I buy. However, the alleged Grey Goose alike is the $20 French vodka.

A week?! I pretty much only like them fresh. I had a miserable time trying to use it for quesadillas the next day, and eaten unheated, I can't eat it the second day. It loses quality very quickly IMO, which is not the case for smoked chicken, say, or even chicken fricasee.
