Costco’s Kirkland Signature French Comte

Kirkland Signature French Comte has been one of the finest cheeses Costco has ever sold. This cheese, produced in France, was unlike any other available in the United States without costing an arm and a leg. It had been aged for at least eight months and had a strong flavor without being overpowering. If you enjoy savory foods, you’ll enjoy this cheese.

Cigarettes

In the last decade, there has been a significant reduction in the number of retailers that sell tobacco products, and Costco is one of them. The company began removing cigarettes from its shelves in 2016, and the process was completed nationwide within a few years. However, it does not appear to be a decision based solely on customer health concerns. During a discussion with Money, a company representative told reporters: “Tobacco is a very low margin business, tends to have higher theft and is labor-intensive in some cases (due to local municipality regulations)—further, we felt we could better use the space to merchandise other items.”
