I know Costco is American owned but these two Kirkland made in Canada products are made in Canada options for those that want the convenience of pods.

I haven’t seen any mention of these Kirkland laundry packs before, they are labeled as made in Canada from imported ingredients. I know that sounds worse than just “made in Canada” but that’s likely what “made in Canada” means on many products, otherwise they’d specify Canadian ingredients.

See our entire listing of made in Canada detergents at ShopCanadianStuff.ca note that several of the Canadian owned brands sell laundry and dishwasher pods that aren’t identified as made in Canada.

    I know support Canadian businesses and all, but make your own. I promise you it works better than any store bought stuff.

    If the money goes to an American company, I’m not buying it. Even if it’s made in Canada.

    If there are Canadian alternatives from Canadian-owned companies, I’d rather buy from them first. If not, then I’ll buy Canadian made from foreign companies.

      We do have an extensive list of other made in Canada laundry options (though many of the Canadian companies have imported pods) at ShopCanadianStuff.ca I think all the others are based in Canada, but Costco has a very large distribution network and gets people’s attention to look at other alternatives.

      All things considered, Costco is a better company than Walmart, Amazon, et al. They have a cap on how much profit they are willing to make and the CEO is on record telling people to fuck themselves for demanding to increase the price on their hotdogs.

      Not saying this to convince you to change your mind, but I have started getting more and more items from Costco instead of Walmart and Amazon if I am able to.

          For what it’s worth they are one of the “good guys” who treat their employees very well and have refused to kneel to all the anti-D.E.I. stuff going on, plus they employ a lot of Canadians. So if you are going to shop at an American owned company Costco is better than many. I’d chose it over Walmart any day.

    Those pods are absolutely amazing! The only problem I have with them aren’t even their own fault.
