I'm not so sure the kirklands are available anymore. I went into my local
Costco and they said they have been removed from their offerings. The
salesperson called the other stores here in Nevada and they reported they
are not stocking them either. The day before the stocks were sent back from
the Reno and Carson City stores.

I'm hoping another affordable alternative like the kirklands become
available.
