8 Kirkland Products That No Longer Feel Like a Costco Bargain

Kirkland Steak Strips Are More Expensive Per Bag

Kirkland Signature steak strips have seen a noticeable price increase of roughly 13% in just one year. A 340-gram bag that once cost $14.99 now rings up closer to $16.99.

For shoppers who rely on steak strips for quick dinners, high-protein snacks, or meal prep, that increase adds up fast. When inflation hits protein prices, it tends to impact grocery budgets disproportionately.

Smart alternatives:

  • Buy fresh beef in smaller quantities when it’s on sale
  • Rotate proteins weekly (chicken, eggs, legumes)
  • Compare per-ounce pricing at grocery stores using cashback or rewards credit cards

    Thanks, Although, I still compare prices I also compare “due date” and quality like Kirtland “extra virgin oil” which is still the best, also “nuts, Coffee, and dishwasher and clothing soups. Also check non-food items
    being sold in Product or convenient “Markets.” Socks, T-shirts, Kitchen iems and Pet foods, are great buys.

    I shop at both Costco and Sam’s Club. I find that Costco may be higher a bit in price but the quality is that much better. Produce from Costco lasts longer than Sam’s Club. I purchase lemons (about 4-6 bags a month) and I consistently get more juice from the Costco lemons than the Sam’s Club lemons. Also, Costco has a great variety of organic produce and better tasting rotisserie chickens. My husband likes Sam’s For their fresh squeezed orange juice. As comparison, we like Costco the best. We are new to Aldies so will check them out more in the future.

    We are Costco members since 1992 and buy lots of their stuff monthly. We do use Sam Club as well on the appropriate items. Although they don’t handle perishable items as well as Costco. Although neither of them handle their beer properly with temperature control and freshness being an issue.
