When thinking about the best Costco products, few people think about parchment paper, foil, or plastic wrap. These are so basic they don't seem worth mentioning, but you'd be surprised how many shoppers think these three are worth mentioning, especially the Costco versions — items sold at regular grocery stores. And the reasons are likely to make you want to buy some for yourself.
Durability was a big factor in recommending these kitchen essentials. Costco's wraps, foils, and parchment paper feature industrial sizes. One roll of foil can cover 1000 square feet, so you can expect it to last for a long time. In the case of one Reddit user, he shared his last roll of foil in a post, and it lasted 2,353 days. This makes Costco's foil paper even more appealing. There's nothing worse than suddenly running out of foil to cover your hearty hamburger casserole seconds before it goes in the oven.
The same goes for Costco's parchment paper. Another Reddit user wrote, “The downside is that unless you cook a lot or get creative with it, it lasts forever.” I'd agree that's not really a downside. And of plastic wrap, someone wrote, “It's survived two marriages, two dogs, and three moves.” That's durability, and judging by the length of Reddit users' marriages, it's true.

Many shoppers love that Kirkland Signature cling film comes with an optional slide cutter to prevent tangling, so you can cut cling film neatly even if you don't have a dispenser or cling film gadget. Best of all, the cling film itself is better than other brands, with one review on Costco's website praising it for being “thicker, stronger, stretches better, tangles less, and is more transparent than other brands.”
Costco's parchment paper also deserves rave reviews: Fellow Reddit users say that Kirkland Signature parchment paper is the best for cooking and baking. [it] “You have to re-roll it multiple times before you can throw it away,” says one Reddit user. The fact that it doesn't roll is a big plus for cooks who have to roll it first or use clothespins to keep the parchment paper flat.
Kirkland Signature Foodservice Foil may continue to tear for the first few feet, but it quickly stabilizes and becomes a neat sheet with just one pull. And even though it's getting thinner, Costco shoppers say the foil still comes in a sturdy roll that's easy to install and use right in the box. Costco shoppers seem to be getting plenty of the best value with these three kitchen supplies.
