Kirkland signature wine and spirits (and tons of other Kirkland brand stuff). Not necessary better, but it's so much cheaper and so close to quality that it's a bit brainer to buy it over more expensive stuff. Plus,on a lot of instances the Kirkland signature is made by big companies and rebranded as Kirkland.
I agree. But I canβt upvote your comment because I canβt figure our how to do it in Memmy. Swipe left downvotes it. Swipe right to comment. Touching the up and down arrows does nothing. But Kirkland stuff is great.
Swipe a short ways to the right to upvote. Swipe further to the right to downvote. Swiping left will reply. (If it was like Apollo, swiping further left is to save a comment)
I just swiped your comment a short way, so please enjoy your upvote (which I can confirm worked).
Kirkland is at the very least competitive for pretty much everything really.
Kirkland diapers, wipes are an immense value for parents too. And good Lord do I love me some Kirkland branded booze.
Their clothes are great quality too
I love their tech slacks. $15 for basically Lululemon abc pants.
I know for spirits, not sure on wine and beer, in many cases it is literally from the same factory that the name brand comes from they get bulk deals and just put their labels on it
Their malbec is so good. Sometimes I'll spurge on a sometimes MUCH more expensive bottle and 9/10 I regret not just going to Costco and getting theirs.
Cries in Texan
Fucking forreal I passed through Texas to pick up a friend from DFW and stopped at a few Costco's looking for some vodka, I thought I was just in shitty counties but nope! Chuck Testa!
It's an old meme, but it checks out.
I haven't been to Costco in Texas, what's wrong with them?
There is a law in Texas where a publicly traded company can't sell their own name brand liquor, so Costco can't sell Kirkland liquor. Wine is fine, but no spirits.
Wow, that's so stupid. Wonder which politician that regulation benefited.
The state of freedom, and we don't even have the freedom to choose to buy liquor on Sundays. We have such dumb alcohol laws here. We're not as bad as Utah, but it's still so bad.
For the uninitiated, what's wrong with Costco in Texas?
