I know what you’re thinking. We have already shared our love for Costco NUMEROUS times on this blog.  We’ve told you how to save money by shopping at Costco, we’ve told you our top 10 favorite products at Costco, and we asked you to join us at our local Costco last year for an extra-special holiday shopping hour.  Let’s face it: we can’t get enough of Costco in our life!

As I unloaded our minivan from our most recent trip to the superstore, I made the observation that I was hauling Kirkland Signature brand products to every single room in our house.  Seriously, every room.  It was at that point that I realized, our house literally runs on Costco.  All of these household staples, for every single member of our family, were not only coming from a one-stop shopping trip, but from a one-stop budget-friendly shopping trip.  What could be better?! 

Here’s a quick run down of all of those Kirkland Signature brand products that can be found around the house when you visit us:

For the kids

We absolutely LOVE Kirkland brand diapers and wipes!  They are by far the cheapest baby-changing products in town, but the truth is you can NOT tell the difference.  In fact, for big babies like mine, these diapers are even better than the name brand, because they tend to run a bit bigger.  The fewer the blowouts, the better my day is going! And the wipes? Super thick, they do the job, and they don’t smell like flowery perfume. Love it!

For my bigger kids, I love walking through the ginormous selection of fresh, delicious produce.  With four kids under 8 years old, we go through a LOT of grapes and carrots and bananas in a week’s time.  Buying them at a lower price, but just as good of quality (if not better), is a mom’s dream come true.  Other favorites include Kirkland fruit snacks and granola bars, both easy to throw in the lunch boxes as they run out the door!

For Mom & Dad

My husband loves to walk through the “healthy snack” aisle (granola, trail mix, mixed nuts, etc.), while I love to walk through the “not so healthy snack” aisle (candy bars, chips, cakes, etc.).  Somehow, we always seem to meet in the middle and get a good mix, and Kirkland brand has tons to offer in these aisles!  This time around, we tried their beef jerky for the first time, and let’s just say we’re lucky the bag made it through the drive home (and it’s a BIG bag).  Oh, and we snagged a GIANT BAG of candy for trick-or-treaters!

For the home

Many of our previously-name-brand household items have gradually switched to Kirkland Signature brand as well. Dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, batteries, make-up removing wipes, to name a few off the top of my head…let’s just say, if Costco wanted to feature some Kirkland homes on their next commercial, they could stop by our house anytime!  Oh, and if I haven’t done a good enough job convincing you, let Consumer Reports do the rest of the talking! So, there you have it. Our house is literally running on Costco, and we couldn’t be happier to be sharing our Costco love with you on November 4th at Costco Mom Hour!
