I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Anything made by Kirkland

Kirkland frozen pizzas are the exception, they may come three to a box but it’s straight cardboard with bland toppings and sauce. Plus they don’t reheat worth a shit, might as well get 10 totinos

Their pepperoni tastes like rejected Lunchables meat.

Their Detroit style pizza is a lot better.

I agree about reheating but I quite like the cracker crumb crust when it's fresh.

I'll object to their tequila, but everything else I'm totally on board :)

And sometimes coffee, they are great if you are into consistent generic dark roast, but kirkland coffee is not for people who are not into that.

Not their (organic) eggs, at least in my area. They have pale, tasteless yolks. Other than eggs, we get Kirkland if it's an option.
