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 can’t upvote your comment because I can’t 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)
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!
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.
Pretty much any store-brand toothpaste is probably going to be a lot cheaper than “branded” products, and will have the required amount of fluoride within it to keep your teeth healthy which is far and away the most important ingredient in any toothpaste. The entire toothpaste industry is mostly all marketing.
I will say that as someone with sensitive teeth, Sensodyne actually is legit though.
I pay the extra bucks for European Sensodyne because it has Novamin in it.
Novamin is like magic, and there is no reason it should have been taken off the shelves in the US (I suspect it’s heavy lobbying by the American Dental Association and the Teeth Fae People). Novamin binds and helps remineralize your teeth, very helpful for sensitivity and in conjuction with fluoride can get into the subsurface and helps actually repair the teeth.
- Almost all paper goods, specifically Kirkland brand.
- Canned veggies are all the same as well, so whatever’s cheapest
- most dried herbs and spices
- staples like flour, butter, sugar, oil, etc. they are basic and as long as you are getting the kind you need (like AP flour or dark brown sugar) there isn’t any room for differences that the average consumer could notice anyways
Have you not experienced Kerrygold butter? Because there is definitely a difference! Everything else checks out though.
As a fountain pen user and fan of stationery, I can assure you not all paper is created equal. For me it’s 100% worth paying for the good stuff.
Canned veggies
I feel like the generic branded ones have more nasty looking pieces in them
If you make bread you can tell a difference between brands of flour, and the more expensive stuff is usually noticably better.
Aldi has Frosted Mini-wheats that keep don’t get as soggy and hold on to the frosting longer.
Aldi’s brand of bagels is better than Thomas for me and are about half the price. There’s something that tastes oddly “sugary” about Thomas bagels in comparison.
