Kirkland paper towels are an excellent value because of the number of sheets that come on one roll. You get 9 in a package at Costco and sometimes they go on sale! 5.0/5
Kirkland paper towels used to be the best paper towels you could buy. Kirkland has changed the way they manufacture these recently and the changes have been for the worse. The sheets seem to be larger than they used to be causing a lot of waste per sheet.

In feel and texture, they were almost identical to Bounty. Truthfully, the only spot Kirkland fell behind Bounty was in retaining strength after being dunked in water. These towels are hands-down the best store brand option on the market. Viva’s product was certainly the softest and most comfortable product we tested.
I use both Costco and Sam’s and have used both of their labeled paper products. Costco’s is better but Bounty is the best of the bunch. Maybe you’re getting from a different distributor, because the Sam’s paper towels are great here, and their TP is thick and soft, although it costs more than the Kirkland’s Scott-paper quality garbage.

They must not be Member’s Mark Super Premium. Superior Premium are excellent.
Is Costco a bulk store?
Costco is all about bulk, which can convince people to avoid buying Costco’s store-brand products. Afterall, you don’t want a bulk order of something that doesn’t hold up to the name brand competition.
Bounty’s value line has a different feel than the ordinary Bounty Towels, but still performed on par with the competition. While it didn’t scoop up as much ketchup as some of the others, it held its own in dusting and proved to be a useful and enduring dry towel.
Seventh Generation is certainly pushing its green status much more than its effectiveness as a product, but this product was decently made, especially for a completely recycled product. While it didn’t hold up to the much cheaper Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value recycled paper, it fared well in our objective testing. The greatest downfall with this roll of paper towels is in how it feels. Although it’s a double-ply roll, it feels thinner than the single-ply towels we reviewed and isn’t soft to the touch. Still, for those who like the Seventh Generation brand, these paper towels won’t give you any real problems—they’re just not as solid as much of the competition.
Viva’s product was certainly the softest and most comfortable product we tested. It felt more akin to a shop cloth than a paper towel, which gave it a unique experience compared to the rest. Although this product is single-ply (only one of two single-ply options on this list) it did a surprisingly good job at holding together during tough scrubbing jobs. It fell apart more easily when dunked in water, but for those who prioritize comfort and touch in a paper towel, Viva’s Strong and Soft towels are a perfect fit.
As a dry paper towel, Bounty felt the strongest and thickest, despite only being the fifth heaviest (in grams) among the paper towels we tested. Once we submerged the towel, it held its strength and withstood rigorous underwater scrubbing.
