Kirkland Signature shelves look a little different at Costco right now.
Some everyday Kirkland staples are getting lower prices, older versions are being cleared out for as little as $4.97, and several products shoppers thought were gone for good are suddenly back. Costco is also quietly changing packaging, recipes, and even the way some longtime favorites are made.
The interesting part is that not every deal is happening everywhere. Some are broad Costco price changes, while others are those classic warehouse treasure-hunt markdowns that can be completely different from one store to the next.
Here are the Kirkland changes worth watching in September.
1. Kirkland Chicken Prices Are Coming Down
This may be the most useful Kirkland change for everyday shoppers because it isn’t limited to one random clearance rack.
Costco has been promoting new lower prices across several Kirkland chicken products, including chicken breasts, tenderloins, thin-sliced breasts, canned chicken, and frozen wings.
Current examples include roughly $18.99 for a 6.5-pound bag of chicken breast, $19.99 for tenderloins, and $26.99 for a 10-pound bag of wings.
For families who already rely on Costco for freezer staples, this is one of the price changes that actually matters.
2. Kirkland Athletic Socks Have Dropped to $6.97
This is where the treasure hunt begins.
The Kirkland Signature men’s athletic socks have been spotted for $6.97 for eight pairs at numerous warehouses after previously selling closer to $13.99.
That puts the markdown around 50%.
There’s also a product change happening behind the scenes, with Costco moving toward a revised version of the socks. That appears to be helping push the older inventory onto clearance tables.
If your warehouse still has the old packs, this is one of the better Kirkland clothing deals to check first.
3. Dried Pineapple Has Been Spotted for Just $3.97
Here’s exactly why Costco clearance shopping can be so unpredictable.
The Kirkland Signature Organic Dried Pineapple Tidbits normally sit around $11.99 to $13, depending on the warehouse.
But some stores have been clearing bags for $3.97.
A few past sightings have gone even lower.
That doesn’t mean you should expect a $3.97 bag at every Costco. Most warehouses are still much closer to regular price.
But if you see a large pallet sitting untouched at your store, this is one item I’d watch for a sudden markdown.
And the clothing clearance gets even better from here.
4. Kirkland Lounge Shorts Are Falling Below $7
Kirkland men’s lounge shorts that originally hovered around $11.99 have been appearing for $6.97 at multiple warehouses.
A few stores have gone as low as $3.50.
At $6.97, that’s already a solid end-of-season buy. At $3.50, you’re getting dangerously close to Dollar Store pricing for Kirkland clothing.
Sizes become the real problem once Costco starts clearing apparel this aggressively, so finding the deal doesn’t necessarily mean finding your size.
5. $20 Kirkland Sweatshirts Are Showing Up for $4.97
This is one of those Costco markdowns that makes you check the price sign twice.
Kirkland Signature logo crewnecks that originally sold around $19.99 have been spotted at $4.97 as remaining inventory disappears.
That’s roughly 75% off.
The downside is availability. These are already getting difficult to find, and stores that still have them may only have a handful of sizes left.
Still, if your Costco has an overlooked clothing table tucked toward the back of the warehouse, it’s worth checking.
6. Kirkland Dress Shirts Are Getting Slashed Too
The clearance isn’t stopping with casual clothes.
Older Kirkland Signature dress shirts that were previously around $24.99 have been showing up for $9.97, $6.97, and in some warehouses as low as $4.97.
That is a massive drop for a basic button-down.
At this stage you’re shopping leftover inventory rather than a nationwide promotion, so color and size choices can be random.
But that’s also where some of Costco’s best clothing bargains hide.
7. Kirkland Chocolate Chips Are Finally Back
This might be the Kirkland comeback shoppers are happiest about.
Costco pulled its popular Kirkland chocolate chips after cocoa costs surged and the economics stopped making sense.
Now the big red bag is back.
The 4.5-pound bag has been landing around $11.99 to $12.99, generally putting it below a comparable amount of name-brand chocolate chips.
For anyone who bakes through fall and the holidays, this is one comeback that probably won’t need much convincing.
Costco shoppers had been asking about these for a long time.
8. The $28.99 Shearling Slippers Are Back Too
Another Kirkland favorite has returned just in time for cooler weather.
The Kirkland Signature shearling slippers are back around $28.99, and they still have the thick shearling lining and sturdy construction that made previous versions popular.
The easiest comparison is obviously UGG-style slippers, which can easily cost several times more.
These aren’t trying to pretend they’re UGGs. The appeal is simply getting a similar cozy shearling look for under $30.
And unlike plenty of returning seasonal products, the price hasn’t jumped dramatically.
Next up is where Kirkland starts changing products rather than simply discounting them.
9. Costco Quietly Lowered the Price on Its New Pet Bed
Kirkland’s large faux-fur cuddler pet bed came in around the mid-$40 range at some warehouses.
It has since settled closer to $39.99 across many locations.
That may not look as dramatic as a $4.97 sweatshirt, but this is a large 40-inch bed with thick cushioning designed for bigger dogs.
Comparable oversized pet beds can become expensive very quickly.
For pet owners, a $5 reduction on an already aggressively priced Kirkland product is a much more practical deal than a random clearance find.
10. Kirkland Sparkling Water Has Fallen Back Toward $14
Another quieter price change is happening in the beverage aisle.
Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Water has climbed above $20 at certain points, making the case pack noticeably less attractive.
More recently, warehouse pricing has been landing around $13.99 to $14.
That’s a much easier number to justify for shoppers who keep sparkling water stocked all the time.
It’s also a good reminder that Costco prices don’t only move in one direction. Products that became noticeably more expensive can eventually retreat again.
11. Costco Changed the Kirkland Pepperoni Pizza
You May Be Interested In
This one may actually get more comments than the discounts.
Costco has rolled out a newer Kirkland Signature pepperoni pizza with an artisan-style crust, replacing the thinner crust many longtime shoppers were used to.
The four-pack runs around $14.99.
Price isn’t the problem.
The crust is.
Some shoppers like the thicker style, while others immediately started asking for the old pizza back. There have also been complaints about the topping-to-crust ratio.
It’s one of those Kirkland changes where cheaper per ounce doesn’t automatically mean shoppers think the product improved.
12. Kirkland Micellar Wipes Are Getting Another Chance
Costco has had a surprisingly complicated history with its facial cleansing wipes.
Earlier versions built a loyal following. Then they disappeared. A replacement arrived and received much rougher feedback. Costco pulled back again.
Now Kirkland Micellar Facial Cleansing Wipes have returned in another iteration.
A 180-count package has been around $13.99, putting the cost at roughly eight cents per wipe.
That’s considerably less than many name-brand cleansing wipes.
The bigger question isn’t price this time.
It’s whether Costco finally landed on the version shoppers actually want to keep buying.
13. Kirkland Sea Salt Popcorn Looks Like It’s Staying
Some Kirkland products show up, get tested quietly, and disappear.
This one appears to have passed the test.
Kirkland Signature Sea Salt Popcorn is now showing up broadly in 36-count boxes around $9.99, or roughly 28 cents per snack bag.
That puts it well below many name-brand single-serve popcorn multipacks.
It’s made with coconut oil, but the flavor doesn’t come across like sweet coconut popcorn. It’s much closer to a straightforward salty snack.
What started looking like another Costco experiment now appears to be turning into a regular Kirkland staple.
But the next deal requires knowing which package you’re looking at.
14. Old Kirkland Battery Packages Are Being Cleared Out
Costco has been changing the packaging on Kirkland batteries, moving away from the large plastic-heavy presentation toward a more compact design.
That’s creating an opportunity when warehouses still have the older packages sitting around.
Some older Kirkland AAA battery packs have fallen to around $9.97 as Costco works through them.
Meanwhile, the newer packaging is showing up closer to regular pricing.
The batteries aren’t suddenly becoming a clearance product forever.
You’re essentially catching Costco between two packages.
If both versions are sitting next to each other, compare the item numbers and prices carefully before grabbing the newer one automatically.
15. Kirkland Vanilla Extract Is Back Under $10
Fall baking season couldn’t have picked a better time for this one.
Kirkland Signature Pure Vanilla Extract has been selling around $9.59 to $9.99 at many warehouses.
That’s notable because vanilla prices can swing dramatically, and a large bottle can easily cost considerably more at a traditional grocery store.
I wouldn’t call this a sudden September-only markdown.
The better story is that Costco has managed to keep the Kirkland version around the $10 mark heading directly into the busiest baking months of the year.
Cookies, cakes, pies, and holiday baking are where this bottle earns its shelf space.
16. Kirkland A2 Chocolate Milk Is a Brand-New Value Play
One of the more interesting newer Kirkland items is its shelf-stable A2 chocolate whole milk.
The warehouse pack contains 24 eight-ounce cartons and has been spotted around $17.99.
That works out to roughly 75 cents per carton.
A2 milk products usually carry a premium compared with conventional milk, so putting it into Kirkland-sized packaging makes the per-carton price much more approachable.
It’s especially handy for lunch boxes, road trips, sports bags, or families that already buy shelf-stable milk.
17. The Kirkland Nativity Set Is Actually Cheaper Than Last Year
Costco holiday merchandise normally makes shoppers brace for another round of higher seasonal prices.
This one went the other way.
The large 14-piece Kirkland Signature Nativity Set is around $119.99 this year, compared with roughly $129.99 last season.
A $10 cut isn’t going to rival the crazy $4.97 clothing markdowns, but year-over-year price reductions on large seasonal pieces are still worth pointing out.
The bigger issue will probably be inventory.
Costco typically brings in a set quantity of these oversized seasonal pieces, and once they’re gone, they’re usually gone for the year.
18. Costco Is Still Expanding Kirkland Into New Foods
The bigger Kirkland story isn’t only about lower prices.
Costco keeps moving the brand into categories that previously belonged to outside vendors.
Recent additions include prepared foods such as Kirkland Honey Sesame Chicken, plus newer deli items including a Burrata Salad with balsamic dressing.
That’s important because Kirkland has slowly moved far beyond paper towels, olive oil, batteries, and bottled water.
Prepared meals, snacks, bakery products, pet products, beauty items, and apparel are increasingly becoming part of the Kirkland treasure hunt too.
And when Costco thinks it can offer better value under its own label, it isn’t afraid to replace what was there before.
One Kirkland Price Isn’t Going the Right Way
There is one reason I wouldn’t describe everything happening at Kirkland as a giant price collapse.
Motor oil has been moving in the opposite direction.
Kirkland full synthetic motor oil has seen a significant price increase compared with the unusually low prices shoppers had become accustomed to.
That’s actually useful context.
Costco isn’t simply slashing Kirkland prices across the board. It’s lowering prices where costs and inventory allow it, clearing old versions aggressively, and raising prices when the economics force its hand.
That makes the deals above much more interesting.
What I’d Check First at Costco This Week
If you’re heading to Costco specifically looking for Kirkland deals, I’d start in the clothing department.
The $6.97 socks, $6.97 lounge shorts, $4.97 sweatshirts, and heavily discounted dress shirts are the deals most likely to disappear completely once remaining inventory is gone.
After that, check endcaps and price tags for the dried pineapple, especially if your warehouse has a lot sitting around.
For deals with broader availability, the lower-priced chicken, $9.99 popcorn, $28.99 shearling slippers, chocolate chips, and $39.99 pet bed are easier targets.
And remember Costco’s favorite clearance rule: a price ending in .97 often deserves a second look, but inventory and markdowns can vary dramatically from warehouse to warehouse.
September is shaping up to be a surprisingly active month for Kirkland. Some products are cheaper, some are coming back, and others are being changed completely.
The only constant is that Costco clearly isn’t treating Kirkland Signature like a brand that has to stay the same.
