2. Parts

You won’t find appliance components or automotive parts at Costco, but you can often purchase water filters for your fridge, ink for your printer, air filters for your furnace, and similar things you need to replace routinely.

If you’ve been buying these types of things from Costco, we’re here to give you a second option—a more affordable one. Try looking for them at Kirkland, where you’re more likely to find lower prices.

Or even better, to make sure you get these at their best price, buy them directly from the parts clearinghouses, manufacturers, or a local business that overhauls your appliances.

Another option would be to check the Amazon website, especially if you have a Prime membership.
