Costco has quietly lowered prices on several popular Kirkland Signature items, including products shoppers had previously flagged online as increasingly expensive.<\/p>\n
During the company\u2019s most recent earnings call on May 28, executives said the price cuts impacted at least four of its key private-label items, marking a potential relief for consumers as inflation has remained elevated in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The affected products saw price reductions ranging from roughly $1 to $10 across categories spanning food, home goods and sporting equipment, CFO Gary Millerchip said\u00a0during the third-quarter 2026 call.<\/p>\n
The KS Crispy Wings fell from $16.99 to $14.99. KS Milk Chocolate Almonds dropped from $19.99 to $18.99. KS Golf Balls declined from $32.99 to $29.99, while KS King Size Sheets were reduced from $89.99 to $79.99.<\/p>\n

The wholesale warehouse said the decision was aimed at offering members maximum value while continuing to undercut competitors, as part of its broader pricing strategy.<\/p>\n
“Our goal is to be the first to lower prices and last to raise them,” CEO Ron Vachris said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Millerchip reinforced that approach, adding: “Our goal is to be the first to lower prices where we see opportunities to do so.”<\/p>\n

According to social media users, shoppers who have long favored Kirkland\u2019s chocolate-covered almonds said the item has become noticeably more expensive over the years in both the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n
“They\u2019ve become too expensive,” one U.S. shopper wrote on Reddit a year ago.<\/p>\n
“I love the Kirkland brand 1.5 kg chocolate covered almonds,” another Costco shopper in Canada said a year ago. “They used to be $17 then they went to $20.\u00a0Now they are $27!!\u00a0“<\/p>\n

Costco Wholesale did not specify what prompted the latest price cuts, but the move follows a previous instance over a year ago when the retailer voluntarily lowered prices on select Kirkland Signature products.<\/p>\n
In 2024, the price of KS macadamia nuts fell from $18.99 to $13.99, Spanish olive oil 3-liter from $38.99 to $34.99, standard foil from $31.99 to $29.99, laundry packs from $19.99 to $18.99, and the baguette two-pack from $5.99 to $4.99, Millerchip previously said.<\/p>\n

Millerchip added that KS boneless chicken tenders also fell by 13%, resulting in a 21% increase in pounds sold.<\/p>\n
“Kirkland Signature offers significant member value compared to the national brands and continues to grow at a faster pace than our business as a whole,” Millerchip said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
