alt Hacker NewsIs it really higher quality? I had a membership for a year and didn't find much I was interested in purchasing food wise, at least.

I’m in the same boat. The quality to terrible. No I don’t want a bunch of pumpkin seeds that you’re using as filler for products. The produce isn’t great either. A huge portion of the food is either premade factory food that’s chilled or frozen.
I don’t want a bunch of cellulose in my cheese either.
I think so.
Stuff like USDA Prime meats are substantially cheaper and same quality as anywhere else. I smoke a lot of meats though.
Organic produce is super cheap. Especially stuff like pre-cut broccoli, lettuce mixes, etc.
Protein powders, crackers, chips, organic yogurt, organic milk, organic eggs, cheese, prosciutto, etc.
Also liquor including decent beer and wine selection.
I get all this stuff, mid to high quality compared to Whole Foods or whatever grocery store. Sure, I could buy higher quality organic meats directly from the farmer over USDA Prime at Costco or more sustainable seafood and what not, but it would easily cost 3-5x.
I don't buy it alot, but people love the bakery - croissants, pies, cakes, etc. and they're high quality, comparable to most local bakeries.
> Is it really higher quality?
Yes, genuinely. At most stores, "store brand" equates to "cheap, lower quality". Kirkland Signature is sometimes higher quality than other brands, and there are items for which they're my preferred brand.
