Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I just returned from my periodic trip to Costco today, having spent close to $200 on groceries and few small impulse purchases. I now find that almost everything I buy there is Kirkland brand, and I make a point to seek out the Kirkland name on products over the name brand.
In the past few trips to Costco, I've purchased Kirkland brand wine, dress shirts, t-shirts, underwear, toilet paper, organic peanut butter, pecan crisps, salmon, fiber capsules, and K-cups.
In years past I seem to remember buying the Kirkland brand because it saved money over the cost of a similar name brand item. But over the past few years, it has occurred to me that the quality of the Kirkland products now seem to surpass the name brand products in almost every category. I think I would actually pay more for the Kirkland brand, but it's great to see that I don't have to.
I also remember being slightly embarrassed serving Kirkland wine at a dinner party, but now it seems to be greatly appreciated and acknowledged as to how great their store brand wine selections have become.
Have others noticed that the Kirkland name brand seems to stand for high quality as much as it does for great value? Are there any Kirkland products out there that you've noticed are either significantly better or worse than the name brand equivalents?
