It's no secret we love Costco for saving money on everyday groceries like cooking oils, cheese, eggs, and fresh produce, but when it comes to speciality items like snacks, soft drinks, and even certain dinner ingredients, we all have certain name-brand products we love. The only problem? You are often paying an up charge just for the branding on those signature ingredients and it can all add up in pice quickly.

Luckily, Costco’s Kirkland brand has several copycat products that taste like the name-brand versions, but with an unbeatable price point for the amount you’re getting. Here are some of the best Kirkland copycat products to buy at Costco.

Kirkland Signature Nut Bars

Price: $17.99 for 30 bars
Compared to: Kind Bars, $9.69 for 6 bars

If you love Kind bars but want a more affordable option that’s comparable in taste and nutrition, then Kirkland’s Signature Nut Bars are a perfect fit. Costco sells a pack of 30 bars made just like classic Kind bars with a medley of nuts—including almonds, cashews, and pecans—a delicious chocolate drizzle, and hint of sea salt.

Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Butter

Price: $10.92 for 32 ounces
Compared to: Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, $15.84 for 32 ounces

Costco has always been the place to get high-quality Kerrygold butter on the cheap, but just over a year ago, the house brand Kirkland came out with a new competitor. This grass-fed butter is just as rich as Kerrygold and even more yellow, creamy, and flavorful than the Irish brand. The Kirkland version will save you $5, plus we liked it better than Kerrygold in our tests.

Kirkland Signature Soft & Chewy Granola Bars

Price: $11.99 for 64 bars
Compared to: Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, $4.99 for 8 bars

Chewy bars are a classic: They’re kid-friendly and easy to stash in your bag or car and eat on the go. However, you’re better off buying a similar and less expensive option from Costco’s Kirkland brand that has all the wonderful attributes of Chewy bars for a fraction of the price (just 19 cents per bar compared to 62 cents per bar for Quaker).

Kirkland Signature Sparkling Water

Price: $12.01 for 35 cans
Compared to: LaCroix Sparkling Water, $13.79 for 24 cans

Compared to La Croix, a 35-count box of sparkling water from Costco's Kirkland brand will save you money for all the go-to flavors you love: grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Kirkland Sparkling water works out to be 34 cents per can compared to 57 cents per can of La Croix. Which, if you drink bubbly water as much as we do, can add up very quickly!

Kirkland Signature Organic Greek Nonfat Yogurt

Price: $6.55 for 48 ounces
Compared to: Fage Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt, $6.99 for 32 ounces

This nonfat Greek yogurt is just as thick and creamy as fan-favorite Fage, but of course, for a total steal. The big tub might seem like an overwhelming amount to use up but you can use it in everything from breakfast parfaits and smoothies to dips and even in baking recipes.

Kirkland Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Price: $12.89 for 42 ounces
Compared to: Hillshire Farm Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey Breast Deli Lunch Meat, $9.99 for 16 ounces

This thin-sliced turkey meat has a delicious and fresh flavor that just as good (if not better) than grocery store fave Hillshire Farm. Costco sells a 3-pack container, each containing 14 ounces, for the biggest bang for your buck. Plus, having each pack wrapped separately helps it last longer for all your sandwich, wrap, and lunchbox needs.
