Kirkland Signature Sheet Set
Price: $84.99
When you go to sleep at night, you do not want to have nightmares that you overpaid for your bedding, including sheets and pillow cases. Rest assured that the money you spend on the Kirkland Signature 680 thread count sheet set — complete with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and four pillowcases — has you covered with quality.
“Its luxurious quality rivals that of high-end brands, providing an opulent sleeping experience without the steep price tag,” said Guillaume Drew, founder of Or & Zon handcrafted goods. “The exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail in these sheets underscore the intersection of luxury and value.”
Kirkland Signature Stainless Steel 6 Burner Gas Grill
Price: $899.99
With the weather warming up, you don’t want to be unprepared for grilling season. Count on Costco’s in-house Kirkland brand to be there with a stainless steel six burner gas grill to keep the tasty times coming all year long. Features like LED nobs and 737 square inches of total cooking surface add to the price tag, but it’s worth it.
Jack, Costco customer, left a glowing review on the Kirkland Signature Stainless Steel 6 Burner Gas Grill: “Feature for feature comparison, this grill is a really good value. Way better than most other grills at big box hardware stores. You can spend double [or more] for a Weber or other higher tier brands, but I’d argue this is equivalent in most regards and better in some.”
LG 86″ 4K TV
Price: $499.97
Imagine catching all the action of the big game on an even bigger screen for every fan in your house or setting up a family movie night where every cousin has a great seat. Now, imagine getting the LG LED LCD TV with 4K UHD at Costco, as well as getting it set up in your home so you can have the ultimate entertainment system.
“When Costco offered this LG UR8000 86-inch TV … delivered inside the home, it was too good an offer to pass-by,” customer Robbie wrote, giving this purchase a five-out-of-five star review on Costco’s website. “Since this was delivered inside the home, in a room of customer choice, this was a [no-brainer], so I ordered it. The TV is spectacular and fantastic value for the price you pay; not to mention Costco’s amazing return policy and included additional 2-year warranty."
De’Longhi Eletta Evo Coffee Machine
Price: $1,799.99
You love to wake up to a freshly and expertly made cup of coffee, but is it worth it to get the fully automatic one from De’Longhi Eletta Evo at Costco?
According to Dan Gallagher, vice president of operations at Aegle Nutrition, the answer is: absolutely. Gallagher got the automatic espresso machine from Costco and in his own words, “paid handsomely for it."
“In the long-run, however, it was definitely worth the expense, as it saves me time and money each morning,” Gallagher explained. “I no longer have to budget extra time and money for a stop at the coffee shop. I can enjoy my espresso at home at a more leisurely pace. After a year, the machine basically paid for itself, so the $1,800 price tag was definitely worth it.”
