  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n_The views expressed in this Opinion article are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Narcity Media._\n\nI do my weekly shop at the grocery store, but I pay for a membership and go to Costco once a month.\n\nEven though I don't love shopping at the wholesale retailer, the prices of some products offer a better value that's hard to resist.\n\nThere are a few items I get at Costco instead of the grocery store to save money because of that value, including Kirkland Signature products.\n\nSo, let's get into the products I buy at Costco every month and how some of the prices compare to grocery stores in Canada.\n\n### Kirkland Signature muffins\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $7.99 for an 870-gram pack of Kirkland Signature muffins at Costco.\n\nThat price breaks down to $0.99 per muffin and $0.91 per 100 grams.\n\nI always add a pack of these muffins, either the blueberry or chocolate flavour, to my shopping cart at Costco because of the price and the taste.\n\n### Kirkland Signature cookies\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $11.99 for a 1.07-kilogram pack of Kirkland Signature chocolate chunk cookies.\n\nSince there are a lot of cookies in each pack, I put some in the freezer and then take them out whenever I want a snack. Honestly, the cookies taste better when they're warm, so I like buying the bulk pack and freezing the cookies.\n\n### Kirkland Signature frozen berry blend\n\n\n\n\nSince most products at Costco are bulk-sized, I prefer to get fresh fruit in smaller packs at the grocery store.\n\nBut I always add a bag of frozen fruit to my cart when shopping at the wholesale retailer.\n\nIt costs $17.99 for a two-kilogram bag of Kirkland Signature frozen three berry blend that comes with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.\n\n### Nutella\n\n\n\n\nCostco has a pack of two one-kilogram Nutella jars for $17.99.\n\nWhile the Kirkland version of hazelnut spread is cheaper at Costco, the name-brand product tastes better, in my opinion, so that's why I get Nutella at the wholesale retailer.\n\nAlso, I get it at Costco because grocery stores are more expensive\n\nLoblaws has a pack of two 725-gram jars of Nutella for $21.99, which means I save $4 at Costco, even though the product is bulk-sized.\n\n### Kirkland Signature maple syrup\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $15.99 for a one-litre bottle of Kirkland Signature maple syrup at Costco.\n\nWalmart has a one-litre bottle of Old Fashioned Maple Crest maple syrup for $16.97, while Loblaws has the same product for $18.99.\n\nI buy the Kirkland version rather than the well-known brand at grocery stores because it's cheaper.\n\n### Terra Delyssa olive oil\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $19.99 for two one-litre jars of Terra Delyssa extra virgin olive oil at Costco,\n\nA two-litre bottle of Kirkland Signature extra virgin olive oil costs $21.99, so I get the name-brand version to save money because it's $2 cheaper.\n\n### Mutti passata\n\n\n\n\nAt Costco, a case of six 796-millilitre jars of Mutti passata is $16.99.\n\nThese jars are bigger than what's sold at the grocery store, so the price is cheaper per 100 millilitres and per jar.\n\n### Kirkland Signature salt\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $4.99 for an 850-gram tub of Kirkland Signature fine grain sea salt at Costco.\n\nThat price breaks down to $0.58 per 100 grams which is a good value, in my opinion.\n\n### Club House seasoning\n\n\n\n\nCostco has a 675-gram tub of Club House Montreal chicken spice for $7.49, which works out to $1.10 per 100 grams.\n\nThat might seem expensive, but it's cheaper than a lot of grocery stores. I prefer to get this and other Club House spices and seasonings at Costco because grocery stores have these products in small sizes.\n\n### Redpath granulated sugar\n\n\n\n\nAt Costco, a four-kilogram bag of Redpath granulated sugar is $5.69, which works out to $0.14 per 100 grams.\n\nThe bulk-sized product at the wholesale retailer has a better value, in my opinion, than the two-kilogram bags at grocery stores.\n\n### Miss Vickie's chips\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $8.49 for a 572-gram bag of Miss Vickie's chips at Costco, which works out to $1.48 per 100 grams.\n\nSince the bags at Costco are bigger than the value-size bags sold at grocery stores, I always put one in my shopping cart.\n\nIt costs $5.49 for a 200-gram bag of Miss Vickie's chips at Loblaws, which works out to $2.74 per 100 grams. So, the Costco product is $1.26 cheaper per 100 grams.\n\n### Brookside chocolate-covered acai and blueberries\n\n\n\n\nCostco has an 850-gram bag of Brookside chocolate-covered acai and blueberries for $13.99, which is $1.64 per 100 grams.\n\nI prefer to get a bulk-sized bag at Costco because it's cheaper. At Walmart, it costs $12.78 for a 595-gram bag of Brookside chocolate-covered acai and blueberries, which breaks down to $2.14 per 100 grams.\n\n### Made Good granola bites\n\n\n\n\nMade Good granola bites at Costco come with two flavours, chocolate chip and mixed berry, but grocery stores only have individual flavours, so that's why I buy them at the wholesale retailer.\n\nIt costs $13.99 for a 576-gram bag at Costco, which works out to $2.42 per 100 grams.\n\nEven at Dollarama, where you might expect everything to be cheaper, a 100-gram bag of Made Good granola bites costs $3!\n\n### Clif minis\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $22.99 for a box of Clif minis that comes with 30 bars in three flavours.\n\nThe full-sized and mini Clif bars at grocery stores are more expensive, and the boxes don't come with multiple flavours.\n\n### Kirkland Signature mixed nuts\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $22.49 for a 1.13-kilogram bag of Kirkland Signature mixed nuts at Costco.\n\nLoblaws has a 1.13-kilogram tub of President's Choice mixed nuts for $29.99. That means the Kirkland product saves me $7.50!\n\nSo, that's why I get the store-brand version at Costco instead of grocery stores.\n\n### San Pellegrino carbonated water\n\n\n\n\nCostco has a case of 15 bottles of San Pellegrino carbonated water that are 750 millilitres each for $24.99.\n\nThat works out to just $1.66 per bottle and $0.22 per 100 millilitres.\n\nGrocery stores usually sell San Pellegrino in cases of six or in 12 packs, so I prefer to get this product at Costco for the better value.\n\n### Kirkland Signature parchment paper\n\n\n\n\nThis is a must-have product since I use it almost every day of the week for cooking and also for baking sometimes.\n\nIt costs $19.99 for a pack of two Kirkland Signature parchment paper rolls, and I always put it in the shipping cart at Costco.\n\n### Scotch-Brite lint rollers\n\n\n\n\nA pack of five Scotch-Brite lint rollers costs $16.49 at Costco.\n\nI buy the multi-pack at the wholesale retailer instead of individual lint rollers at grocery stores to get a better value and help ensure I always have another roll when one is finished.\n\n### Scotties tissues\n\n\n\n\nIt costs $27.99 for a pack of Scotties tissues with 21 boxes at Costco, which works out ot $1.33 per box.\n\nA pack of 12 boxes of Kirkland Signature facial tissues costs $22.99, which breaks down to $1.91 per box.\n\nSo, even though the Kirkland product seems cheaper, it's actually more expensive when the price is broken down by the number of tissue boxes. That's why I prefer to get the name-brand product instead of the Kirkland Signature version.\n\n_These prices are confirmed at the time of publishing, but they can change at any time.
