Charmin Ultra Soft
ANYBODY REMEMBER Mr. Whipple? The grocer
in the old Charmin TV ads who had to plead
with customers not to squeeze the Charmin?
Well, even Mr. Whipple would have been
unable to resist Charmin Ultra Soft.
This item, which is exclusive to Costco,
is the best-quality Charmin Ultra Soft that
Procter & Gamble produces. More premium
fibers provide extra softness, while an
improved fiber structure imparts additional
thickness and flexibility. It also maintains the
unique-to-Costco wider sheet ( 4. 5 inches,
compared with 3. 92 inches elsewhere). At 14
percent thicker than Charmin sold at other
retailers, it is the softest and best-perform-ing Ultra Soft available. Charmin Ultra Soft
is available in packages of 30 rolls, with 221
sheets per roll. Item #1144913, (#1144914 in
the Northeast). Available in the warehouse
and on Costco.com.—Erik Fulkerson

hydration is to offer a choice of great-tasting
beverages. That’s why I’m particularly
excited about our Kirkland Signature™
Flavored Sparkling Water.
Kirkland Signature Flavored Sparkling
Water is a zero-calorie carbonated beverage
that delivers crisp and refreshing fruit flavors.
The sparkling water undergoes state-of-the-art purification, filtration and reverse osmosis,
using technologies that have the highest
quality certifications in the industry. The
delicious fruit flavors—Black Raspberry,
Kiwi Strawberry and Orange Mango—in
each 17-ounce bottle make this beverage
a perfect item to quench your thirst, and
the carbonation will satisfy your craving
for those flirty bubbles. The bottles come
in a 24-pack. Item #835484. Available in
the warehouse only.—Elisha Jensen
Kirkland Signature
Puppy Food
AS DOG LOVERS and owners, our buying
team knows that Costco members want
to feed their furry family members the
best food they can find. And it’s especially
important when you’re caring for the
littlest pups. That’s why it took us a full
year to develop our brand-new Kirkland
Signature Nature’s Domain Puppy Food.
This high-quality small kibble is ideal for
young puppies, lactating dogs and dogs
of all breeds at any life stage that are in
need of a higher caloric intake. It’s great
for the family pet and also ideal for breeders,
as they can feed the whole litter, plus mom,
with one food.
This grain-free, chicken and pea blend is
fortified with DHA, which supports eye and
brain development, and omega- 3 and - 6 fatty
acids, which promote healthy skin and a shiny
coat. As with all of our Kirkland Signature dog
food items, this food is made with real fruit
and vegetables, contains no animal byproducts and incorporates live probiotics.
Costco offers this quality kibble in a 20-
pound bag, and it’s priced at a tremendous
value compared with similar items at specialty pet stores. Item #1101794. Available
in select warehouses and at Costco.com.
