"Spotting a new item at Costco is usually an exciting experience for the store's loyal shoppers, but the latest addition to its lineup of prepared foods has left many customers perplexed. When people first caught sight of the Kirkland Signature Wedge Salad With Bacon & Dressing, it seemed like a tasty, quick meal. Then, they saw the price tag, and the excitement faded."
"Kirkland Signature Wedge Salad With Bacon & Dressing is really sold as a kit, so the final prepping of the salad is still yours to do. The kit includes four wedges of iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, crispy onions, and bacon crumbles. It also comes with a blue cheese dressing. For such a simplistic salad, many Costco goers consider the hefty price tag a total ripoff."
Costco added a Kirkland Signature Wedge Salad With Bacon & Dressing to its prepared foods lineup priced at $7.49 per pound, equating to roughly $14–$17 per kit. The product ships as a kit that requires final prepping at home and contains four iceberg lettuce wedges, grape tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, crispy onions, bacon crumbles, and blue cheese dressing. Many shoppers criticized the steep price and excess packaging, arguing that making the salad at home would be far cheaper. Other customers defended the purchase as paying for convenience. Several other prepared salads at Costco have also sparked complaints and controversy.
