Factoid – 20200727

“Factoid: A brief or trivial item of news or information.”


Costco’s Kirkland brand items are as good as or better than the name brand item in any given category and often manufactured by the name brand company!

 

Adam Keesling explains why the assertion above is true and how he reached that conclusion:

“The answer is this: they get the best manufacturers in the world — who already have products on Costco shelves — to make Kirkland products. Yeah, you read that right. While customers might not know it, Kirkland products are often made by the same manufacturers who make the branded products that sit next to them on the shelves.”

JBRish is on a Brief Hiatus

Hello JBRish readers. I want to let you know that we will be on hiatus for a while. I know, I know, we just got back up and running after our computer issues and now we are going on hiatus.

We will use the time to complete the process of restoring our files to their appropriate organization and of course plan more interesting posts along the way.

 
Until then, I think many JBRish readers will connect with the picture below as they look forward to the summer season; ENJOY!
