When it doubts, buy it. Costco will not over-charge you.
Case in study: Food Wrap by Kirkland Signature – $8.99 (double pack)
At first glance, you might think $9 for 2 rolls of food wraps is not much of a bargain. But look at this.
If you are lucky, you can buy a roll of food wrap for $.99 (from a 99 Cents only store). This roll contains a 100 SQ. FT. of inferior quality plastic wrap.
With Kirkland Signature’s Food Wrap (double pack), you get 1500 SQ. FT of high quality plastic wrap. That’s 166 SQ. FT per a Dollar.
So, with the same amount of money, you get 66% more of a high-quality product.
But that’s not all
Think about helping environment.
In order to get 1500 SQ. FT. of plastic wrap, you need to buy 15 of $.99 rolls. With Costco’s double pack, you are saving raw material to package 13 rolls.
Everyone wins with Costco.
So when in doubt? Buy at Costco.
Happy shopping.
** One problem with Costco’s plastic wrap is that it will take a long time for me to finish up 2 rolls of these. It took me 2 years to finish 100 SQ. FT. roll. So, mathematically, it will take me 30 years to finish these two rolls. I will be in my 70s when I’m done with these. My plastic wrap can outlive me.
I guess some people use a lot of plastic wrap. I don’t. I always try to use containers with tops instead of putting a wrap over the food. I try not to use plastic wrap as much as possible. They cost money.
I was on the fence about
I was on the fence about buying the plastic wrap at Costco but I’m so glad we did. I use it all the time to freeze things like bread, baked goods, etc. Costco obsessed~
Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
Can I buy it online? I received some of this almost 2 years ago and love it! I am almost out and would like some more. We do not have a Costco near us?
Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
I don’t see it available on Costco website.
I only see it on Costco “Business” website. You need to have a business membership for this.

Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
You’re right! This wrap is good quality and a good deal. We are a family of 3 and it lasted us a little over 2 years. 100 sq. ft. of Saran wrap is $2.19 per roll at Wegman’s. Each Kirkland brand roll has 750 sq. ft. and costs roughly $4.50 – $5.00. You would pay over $15 for just 700 sq. ft. of Saran Wrap.
Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
I use both cheap glad wrap and a premium saran wrap, where does this wrap fall more towards low end wrap or higher end- thanks and love your blog and all things costco!!!!!

Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
I still have the same costco plastic wrap and I’ve been using it for 3 years several times a week…
Re: When it Doubt, Buy it – Plastic Food Wrap
I am still on schedule for 30 years of use.
I use these wrap maybe once or twice a month.
