You’ve probably heard by now that there are lines outside of Costco stores wrapping through parking garages and around city blocks, all for a shot to pick a pair of Kirkland Signature SB Dunks off a messy pile plopped down in the middle of the warehouse. With approximately 500 pairs per store and a purchase limit of 1 per customer, sold first-come-first-served, you’ve got a better chance to snag a pair than most SB Dunk releases, but if you show up at your local Costco to find an empty pallet, don’t worry, your trip wasn’t a total bust.
Even without the Kirkland Signature SB Dunk in your cart, Costco is full of smile-inducing buys that will have you forgetting about your sneaker L by the time you leave the snack bar. These are some of our favorite Costco cops that are sure to make the drive, lines, and lack of collab Dunks worth it.
Kirkland Signature Men’s Sneaker
Still want a sneaker with the Kirkland Signature logo on it, but you showed up too late for the SB Dunks? Look no further. These lawn-mowing, Winnebago-driving, grill-cleaning dad shoes are simple knit sneakers with simple rubber soles with the Kirkland logo added on the outsole and tongue. Act fast, though, the two colorways available online - triple-white and triple-black - are both only available in a few sizes.
Kirkland Signature Men's Heavyweight Crew Tee, 6-pack
There’s been some hubbub amongst Kirkland die-hards about a factory switch on the production of these heavyweight white Ts, but if you ask us, these 6-packs of baggy shirts are the perfect plain t-shirt, no matter what the rest of your outfit looks like. Don’t worry, they also come in black, but no matter what color you cop, make sure to shrink them in the dryer first unless you love a super oversized style.
Rotisserie Chicken
The Costco rotisserie chicken is viral for a reason. The $5 pre-cooked chicken is browned to perfection and juicy throughout, drawing the same kind of daily crowds that the SB Dunk brought out this morning. Even if you’re stopping at the snack bar for lunch, make sure you grab a chicken to bring home for dinner.
Kirkland Signature V3.0 Golf Balls
We are not very good at golf. So when we hit the links, we’ve got to make sure to bring golf balls in bulk. Thankfully, Costco is obsessed with golf, bringing out clubs, accessories, and balls at prices that allow for as many shanks into the trees as needed to get to the green. 24 should be enough to get through a round, right? Maybe the front 9.
All Beef Hot Dog and 20 Oz. Soda (Free Refills)
It’s $1.50, you really can’t beat that. Treat yourself on the way out the door, the way in the door, or between free samples; you won’t regret it.
