Costco can offer those on a fixed income some really amazing deals from its in-house brand, Kirkland. The brand makes everything from clothes to pantry staples, so shoppers on Social Security can rest assured they can find what they need for a good price.

Here are some of the best Kirkland items to buy this winter if you live on Social Security.

Minced California Garlic

• Price: $8.49

Minced garlic is a must-have for all those hearty winter meals. Buying this large 48-ounce jar will set any cook up for success for a low price. 

Nut Bars

• Price: $17.99

A nut bar is a nice snack to help beat an afternoon crash or feel replenished after a workout. Each bar in this pack of 30 has almonds, cashews and pecans and is drizzled with cocoa and sea salt. The price works out to just around $0.60 a bar. 

Ultra Shine Liquid Dish Soap

• Price: $9.99

Don’t worry about having to pick up dish soap for months. This big bottle of dish soap will keep dishes clean for a very long time. Name brands like Dawn cost $11.99 (on sale) at Costco for the same amount, so buying the Kirkland brand will save a couple of bucks.

Ultra Clean HE Liquid Laundry Detergent

• Price: $19.99

Wash 146 loads of clothes with a 194-fluid-ounce bottle of Kirkland’s liquid detergent that has tough stain-fighting power and a fresh scent that will leave clothes smelling pleasantly clean. To compare, 141 fluid ounces of Tide detergent costs $23.49 at Costco.

Seal Top Freezer Bags

• Price: $14.99

These freezer bags are great for storing extra food to make meals last. They have a double-zipper seal to keep food locked in. Each package has six boxes that come with 44 bags each.

Rapid-Release Acetaminophen

• Price: $18.99

When suffering from pain, no one wants the price of the pain reliever to cause even more stress. Consider picking up this 400-pack of 500-milligram acetaminophen gelcaps from Costco. For 300 tablets of acetaminophen from name brand Excedrin, you’d pay $22.99 at Costco — so you’ll get even more for less with the Kirkland brand.

Vitamin C

• Price: $16.99

Get a daily dose of vitamin C during the cold winter months with these Kirkland tablets. You’ll get 500 tablets in each bottle, coming out to just $0.03 a tablet. The Nature Made brand sells jars of 365 vitamin C tablets for $22.99 (on sale). The Kirkland brand gives you more bang for your buck.

Paper Towels 

• Price: $23.99

Paper towels are always necessary in the kitchen. Make sure to always have some on hand with this package of 12. These cost much less than name brands like Bounty, which costs $29.99 for 12 rolls at Costco.

Men’s Crew Neck Tees

• Price: $24.99

White T-shirts are never going to go out of style, so it’s nice to get six in this pack of crew neck tees for less than $5 a shirt. They’re perfect for layering underneath your winter clothes.

High-Performance Three-Piece Wedge Set

• Price: $169.99

Not every Costco purchase has to be a necessity. It’s nice to get a treat once in a while, too, especially when it’s for a good price. Wedge sets can go for hundreds of dollars, but Kirkland’s right-hand set is under $200. Reviews rave about how this second-generation set is a big upgrade from Kirkland’s first-generation set and say it’s worth the switch.
