If you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck with Costco liquor this list is for you. Based on our own experiences and customer reviews we’ve rounded up the best and worst cheap liquor you can buy at Costco.

As any vodka lover knows not all vodkas are created equal. Some are smoother and more flavorful than others. According to both connoisseurs and laymen this is the case with Kirkland Signature French Vodka. In fact the vodka is so good that rumors have circulated that it is actually Grey Goose or at least made by the same company. Grey Goose has officially debunked that rumor on its website stating that it does not make Kirkland Signature French Vodka or private label it. If that is the case Costco could be giving the company a real taste of the pot.

The Kirkland Signature French Vodka comes in a 1.75 liter bottle and retails for around $20 to $25 depending on location. Reviewers say it has a smooth mouthfeel and offers hints of vanilla citrus and pepper. Costco also carries Kirkland Signature American Vodka though many prefer the French vodka. As one reviewer put it "The Kirkland French vodka is really smooth and is only surpassed by vodkas costing more than twice as much. The Kirkland American vodka is quite harsh but no worse than other bottom-shelf vodkas."
