The Costco Kirkland Signature Brand: Quality or Junk?

Are you a Costco shopper who swears by Kirkland Signature products? Or maybe you’re on the fence about trying them out? Well, buckle up, because I’ve got an inside scoop on one Kirkland Signature item that you might want to steer clear of.

Let’s talk about the Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue. Yes, that’s right, toilet paper. Now, before you dismiss this as a mundane topic, hear me out. As a seasoned Costco shopper, I’ve had my fair share of hits and misses when it comes to Kirkland products. And unfortunately, the regular Kirkland Signature bath tissue (the one in the blue package) falls into the “miss” category for me.

Let me paint you a picture. Picture yourself on a road trip, stopping at every rest stop along the way. You come across all kinds of toilet paper in various states of quality. And then you try the Kirkland Signature bath tissue and realize it’s just not up to par. It’s thin, rough, and overall unpleasant to use.

Now, I’m not here to bash Costco or Kirkland Signature products. In fact, I’ve had great experiences with other Kirkland items like the Ultra Soft Bath Tissue (in the purple package). But when it comes to the regular blue-packaged bath tissue, it’s a hard pass from me and my family.

So, what do you do when you’re stuck with 28 rolls of subpar toilet paper? Well, you could return it to Costco if you live nearby and take advantage of their excellent return policy. Or, like me, you could pay it forward and donate it to a local shelter, senior center, or daycare.

But how do you avoid another major fail like this in the future? One way is to shop in person instead of online, so you can see the product quality firsthand. Another tip is to read online reviews from reliable sources before making a purchase.

In the end, it’s all part of the shopping experience. You win some, you flush some, as they say. And despite this one hiccup with the Kirkland Signature bath tissue, I’m still a fan of Costco and their Kirkland products. After all, you can’t hit a home run every time, but the wins far outweigh the losses.
