We were in today they had some beautiful Christmas ribbon
I bought a couple of rolls Love the Christmas paper
I also love the wet and forget shower cleaner I usually by the big things of white vinegar as I use loads for cleaning etc

Try their own brand wine, Kirkland Sauvignon blanc is one of the nicest we have had.

You need to bulk buy to save money on food items ideally. We have been members 28 years and have always saved money. You do need to know what special offers 'normal' shops have on though
Our usual big savers are meat, tyres and fuel at the moment. We can easily save our membership on one big purchase as well.

We have the executive membership too so the cash back on it pays for our membership each year and then some.
The Kirkland laundry liquid in the big bottles is really good value and fantastic. I also get the softener as that is cheaper than Lenor or Comfort.
We get the part baked rolls as they are cheaper and the whole side of skinless, boneless salmon fillet.

Kirkland own brand is good value - and really good actually. We get Kirkland toiletpaper, washing detergent, dishwasher tablets, batteries. I also buy Fairy dishwasher liquid, toilet cleaner, massive handwash soap (refill our containers in bathrooms - last ages). Also recommend tinfoil , cling film and baking paper - excellent quality. Towels, blankets good price. Sometimes branded clothing or shoes. Single use facemasks.
Electronics like TVs, laptops, vacuums etc also comes normally at a good price and very good guarantees (often longer than at other shops) - no quibble returns.

Foodwise, the meat and fish might look like the same price as Tesco but quality is way better. I regularly buy these things which are either cheaper or you get better quality for same price:

• Cereal
• Bon Mamman strawberry jam
• TipTree orange marmelade
• Cinnamon spice
• Ghiradelli choclate brownie mix
• Tomato ketchup (massive bottle that we refill another)
• Hellmans mayo light
• Smorgosboard Swedish meatballs
• Frozen hamburgers
• Frozen prawns
• Cakes
• Vitamins
• Bake at home bread (ciabatta, baguette)
• In the fresh produce they have a broccolislaw bag with dressing which is exactly the same (but bigger) that we get from Publix
• Falafels
• Cheese (cheddar, halloumi, mozzarella)

At Christmas, they sell superb wuality wrapping paper, massive scented candles, great price panettone in a tin or the Swedish gingerbread biscuits in a tin (both excellent gifts at work /visiting somebody /teachers etc). The mince pies are to die for.

For parties they have great cakes and platters.

I even have a Costco shed and bought my BBQ from there 😃. Been members for 18 yrs.

I forgot about the spices and herbs. Big tubs of Shwartz fajitas spice and italian herbs are only about £3.50

And tubs of vitamin D are very good value too.

The ribbon is lovely, I bought 7 rolls last week I cannot resist it

[Floridatilly]

We are going back the day before our daughter goes away to university so going to buy lots of goodies that she can share with her new flat mates 🥰
I am also hoping they will have more Christmas Disney stuff in (17th September) I can see this membership costing us a fortune 🤣🤣

I don't think we've ever saved money there 🤦 We go to by American goodies, we buy corndogs,pretzels, Aunt Jemima's syrup,pancake mix, Cheetos,mini cinnabon rolls ,Champion clothing.

We love the red velvet cake and large pizzas too. Always leave with a hot dog and drink from cafe, for £1.50 can't beat it 😁

See more...

Yep, I agree with this completely! I can't possibly go there just for the giant tub of Skippy Crunchy Peanut Butter that we need, I also have to pick up a couple of boxes of corndogs, a couple of twin-packs of Cheetos, and gawd only knows what else that all adds up to at least £100 every time I go!
