If you’re looking to save money on women’s sunglasses, shop the polarized sunglasses from Kirkland Signature. These stylish shades offer 100% UV protection and have more than 100 five-star reviews on the Costco website.

“What can I say? This is my third pair of Kirkland polarized sunglasses for women in seven years. I lost one pair and had to replace. I purchased two pairs of these recently when I saw them so I had one for a back up. Love them,” wrote Harrisburg Julie in a five-star review.

• Price: $17.99

Travel in comfort when you wear Kirkland Signature women’s travel pants. Available in gray, green and black, these pants are cheap enough to add all your favorite colors in your preferred size to your Costco shopping cart.

If you haven’t restocked your paper towels, now’s a good time. (They’re summertime heroes when it comes to cleaning up!) Save money shopping Kirkland Signature over pricier name brands and get 12 individually wrapped rolls using your Costco membership.

• Price: $13.59

Summer is all about hosting parties, like wedding showers, baby showers, graduations, Fourth of July cookouts and so many more. 

Keep a sleeve of Kirkland Signature Chinet plastic cups on-hand to keep the drinks flowing all day and night. With 240 cups in each package, any leftovers can be used up during fall and winter gatherings like Thanksgiving and during the holiday season.

• Price: $17.99

Kirkland Signature’s trail mix snack packs are here to keep your hangry pangs in check anywhere you roam this summer. Whether you’re on a long international flight or spending a few hours hiking, add a few of these individually packaged to your bags for a protein-fueled snack break. 

Each box comes with 28 packages which means Costco members spend about 64 cents on each one.

• Price: $20.99

Don’t leave Costco without grabbing a bag of BBQ hardwood pellets from the outdoor cooking department. This pellet grilling must-have costs less than similar offerings from top-name brands and is a great value at 40 pounds per bag. 

• Price: $20.19

The Kirkland Signature beef hot dogs previously made our list of Kirkland Signature recommendations to shop in June. 

We added them to this list thanks to their bulk sizing (12 links in each three-count set for a total of 36 hot dogs) and being a seasonal fan favorite. Stock up if you’re hosting a BBQ cookout or need some affordable, easy dishes to put together for kids’ birthdays or weeknight dinners. 

• Price: $19.19

Swap out a more expensive name brand sports drink for Kirkland Signature’s sports drink variety pack. 

Each 20-ounce bottle comes in fruit punch, blue raspberry and orange flavors for a total of 24 bottles. This comes out to paying close to 80 cents, much cheaper than a visit to the vending machine or grabbing a few extra bottles at the gas station.
