Costco is known for carrying quality bulk products at a discounted rate.
And their in-house label, Kirkland Signature, might be the best of the best in this category.

Many of the Kirkland products are popular and established products from other well-known companies that have just been re-labeled.
These five Kirkland gems are staples in my kitchen that I could not live without.
Raw Nuts
Costco carries the full gamut of nuts, and the price and quality can’t be beat.
Most of these nuts blend easily to add heft and creaminess to curries or sauces.
Having the nuts on hand makes this kind of impromptu breakfast possible.
A two-and-a-half pound bag lasts us a few weeks, and the quality doesnt diminish.
But the value is even more noticeable when we makecold brew.
I also love using them to boost the flavor of low-alcohol cocktails ormocktails, while limiting the sugar.
The parm is Costcos start the car item.
Parmigiano Reggianois highly regulated and only produced in Italy.
Because its imported, it comes with a hefty price tag.
But Kirkland offers it for around 40 percent less than the standard retail price.
A wedge lasts ages when properly wrapped and refrigerated.
Maple Syrup
Finally, one indulgent Kirkland product I never skip out on is the Kirkland organic maple syrup.
That aromatic, woodsy flavor is reminiscent of the charming Canadian sugar shacks I grew up around.
Hot pancakes or crispy-edged waffles drizzled with real maple syrup are some of the best starts to a weekend.
They’ve absolutely earned their keep as kitchen must-haves.
