5 Amazing Kirkland Products You Have to Try in October

Some people are picky about the brands they bring home. And that's understandable. When you find a product you like, it's natural to want to stick with it. 

But if you've never really given Costco's Kirkland line a chance, then you may want to open yourself up to it. Not only does Costco's signature brand offer great quality, but the prices are really competitive. The result? More savings for you.

Meanwhile, there are a few Kirkland items you're likely to find at Costco right now that could be a great addition to your October food lineup. Consider giving these products a go.

1. Pumpkin pie

When you think of October, you kind of think of all things pumpkin. And Costco's signature Kirkland pumpkin pie is a must-purchase if you're a pumpkin fan. 

For just $5.99, you get a gigantic pie that's three pounds, 10 ounces. (Do note that Costco prices can vary by location.) The pie features a flaky crust and a smooth filling. It's the perfect dessert to bring to a Halloween party or gathering with friends. And while it definitely pays to check out Costco's pumpkin pie in October, the good news is that it'll probably still be around for Thanksgiving, too.

2. Green chile cornbread

Costco's bakery department has been busy this year whipping up new creations. This October, consider picking up a Kirkland green chile cornbread. It's light on the heat but has a nice little kick that elevates it beyond your traditional cornbread recipe. 

Best of all, it's just $6.99 for a giant hunk of it. You might run up a larger credit card tab buying cornbread ingredients at the supermarket and baking one yourself.

3. Signature cashew clusters

October is a good month to hit the trails and spend time outdoors. And to really enjoy a good hike, you need a snack to give you just the right amount of fuel. 

Enter Kirkland cashew clusters. These nuggets are a blend of cashew, almond, and pumpkin seeds. They're sweet, but not overly so, and they offer five grams of protein per serving. 

Now, one thing you should know is these clusters can be a bit hard on the teeth. But if you enjoy a good crunch, definitely pick up a bag. The online price for a two-pound sack is $10.99, but prices in store tend to be lower.

4. Organic pure maple syrup

If you're someone who feels strongly that October is pancake weather, then it pays to have the right accompaniment for your favorite breakfast. Enter Kirkland's organic maple syrup. 

The thing about pure maple syrup is that it can be pricey -- more expensive than regular old pancake syrup. But there's a world of difference in terms of quality and taste, so if you can afford the upgrade, it pays to go for it. Plus, thanks to Costco's low prices, a 33.8-ounce jug of Kirkland maple syrup is only $14.99 online.

5. Organic chicken stock

Many people get into soup mode once October rolls around. If you're looking forward to filling your pot (and belly) this month, Kirkland's organic chicken stock can serve as a base for a variety of cozy soup recipes. Plus, it's gluten free. And a six-count of 32-ounce containers costs just $11.99 online.

Costco's Kirkland brand is definitely worth checking out. But if these items sound good to you, don't delay -- some of them may not last too long beyond October, and you don't want to risk missing out.
