Red Cups: Chinet
Another Kirkland Signature product with a great manufacturer’s logo printed on the wrap is Chinet. Even if the company isn’t quite known for solo cups, Costco is still stocking every single college party full of red cups. That’s the dream of every college student: to snap 240 cups for $15.
Water: Niagara Bottling
Even if buying bottled water isn’t necessarily the best way to save money, getting Costco-style bulk water might end up costing 10 cents per bottle, which is a great deal. The brand responsible for this “opportunity” is California-based bottling company, Niagara. It also applies to its super-popular sparkling water.

COSTCO acronym for China overseas trading company. Yeah, everybody shop there and support China.
Ummm Charlie—Check your source…COSTCO is an American multinational corporation that operates a chain of membership-only big-box warehouse club retail stores. Costco is the world’s largest retailer of beef, poultry, organic produce, and wine, with just under a third of American consumers regularly shopping at Costco warehouses. China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO). It’s based in China and it owns 1114 ships and is one of the largest logistics companies in the world. (I would expect that Costco uses Cosco as a shipper of some of its products sourced in Asia. And Costco has stores in China, having first opened a location in Shanghai in 2019 and expanding to other cities such as Suzhou, Shenzhen, and Nanjing, bringing the total number of warehouses on the mainland to seven by August 2024. The stores have been met with massive crowds and popularity since their debut, with January 2024 seeing the opening of the first Costco in Southern China in Shenzhen. So…if you wanna be a “Buy American First” guy…at least get the facts right!
