There are so many kinds of olive oil and all of them are good for different things. Knowing what kind of olive oil to use when can be tricky, so some people prefer to buy one kind that works for everything. The perfect all-purpose olive oil should be flavorful, pure, and not too expensive. The Kirkland Signature extra virgin olive oil checks all these boxes at less than $20 for two liters. It’s cold pressed, organic, and extra virgin with a killer flavor and a low enough smoke point to be good to cook with.

Balsamic vinegar can range dramatically in both price and quality. While you could take your chances with a bargain product of dubious origins, you could also just buy the Kirkland Signature aged balsamic vinegar. At just $10.99 for a full liter, it’s a steal compared to other similar aged balsamic vinegars. The flavor is tart and rich with just a tiny bit of sweetness, as a good balsamic vinegar should be. It’s just right for drizzling over mozzarella or making a flavorful vinaigrette.

Maple syrup is extremely expensive to produce and ship which is why many people resort to buying the imitation, artificially flavored stuff. Unfortunately, not only is this stuff not as tasty, it doesn’t have any of the vitamins and minerals that makes pure maple syrup good for you. Luckily, maple syrup lasts a long time if stored properly. Kirkland Signature makes some of the cheapest high quality maple syrup available anywhere. It’s Grade A and 100% pure, so don’t worry about it being yet another imitation syrup masquerading as the real thing.

Anyone with a berry smoothie habit knows that berries can be some of the priciest produce in the supermarket, pound for pound. You can save a ton of money by picking up Kirkland signature frozen berries. The frozen berries are priced at $9.79 for three pounds, compared to around $6 for a 10-ounce pint of fresh blueberries. The frozen strawberries and the three berry blend are an excellent bargain as well, plus you’ll always have some on hand if you get a wild hair for berry pie.

A good frozen package of tortelloni is an essential staple in many houses. This versatile and convenient ingredient can be used to make casseroles, soups, pasta salads, or even just a simple bowl of pasta with tomato sauce. The five cheese tortelloni from Kirkland Signature is one of the best products in the entire product line. With a great flavor and perfect texture, these pillowy bites cook in just two minutes. The product comes in a handy double pack so you can split the two and freeze one for later.

It’s hardly a secret. The Kirkland Signature Vodka has one of the largest cult followings of any grocery item. The French vodka in particular is rumored to be Grey Goose (though that has yet to be actually proven) and has a flavor many actually prefer to more expensive alternatives in blind taste tests.

Everyone knows Costco has a serious bakery. The baked goods are made fresh in-house, and if you show up at the right time, are often still warm from the oven. Insiders know that the baguettes are some of Costco’s best baked goods. With a perfectly caramelized crust and a soft fluffy interior that’s filled with open holes ready to be slathered with butter or soft cheese. Sure, you have to buy two at a time, but there are plenty of great ways to use up a baguette from sandwiches to croutons.

The package of four pounds of butter (both salted and unsalted) costs $14.99, which works out to just $3.75 a pound. That’s some of the cheapest butter available anywhere in the U.S. For baking or other butter-heavy recipes, this is the best butter to use. If you just want an excellent tasting butter to spread on bread, opt for some of the grass-fed butter. Luckily, Costco also sells some great bulk packages of Irish Kerrygold at a good price as well.

Store bought pesto is rarely worth the money. Something about the fresh basil flavor changes when the sauce undergoes the packaging process and even if the flavor is decent, the price likely won’t be. That’s why the Kirkland Signature pesto has such a cult following. The color is bright green and the flavor surges with the pungent flavors of garlic and basil. The 22-ounce jar sells for just $11.99. At that price, even if you don’t end up using the whole thing you will still find a savings over the typical grocery store alternative.
