Some price differences are almost $20!
If you don't go to the pharmacy section at Costco, you might not know you can get over-the-counter medications.
There are Kirkland Signature dupes of name-brand items in those aisles that cost less.
Kirkland Signature is Costco's store brand, and products are offered "at the lowest possible prices" to ensure an "even better value" for shoppers.
That includes over-the-counter medications like Advil, Tylenol and Aspirin.
Many of the Kirkland Signature versions of those medications get you more caplets, tablets and liquid gels. Plus, the price differences are between $10 and $19!
So, here's what you need to know about Kirkland dupes of Advil, Tylenol and Aspirin at Costco Canada stores.

Alberta Opposition NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says Premier Danielle Smith has created an "impossible situation for herself" after foisting a divisive separatism debate upon the province.
In a vote Monday, Albertans emphatically rejected holding a binding referendum on separating from Canada.
Smith has said she supports the province staying in Canada.
Nenshi says Smith will have to face down anger and division from separatism supporters within her United Conservative Party while trying to rebuild trust with the majority of Albertans who rejected secession.
He says Smith did this to herself, and says "the person who starts the fire waives the right to call the fire department."
Jeff Rath of the separatist group the Alberta Prosperity Project says Smith will face a reckoning within the UCP for her referendum.

Les techniciens en explosifs de la Sûreté du Québec sont sur place. 😳

Dans une publication diffusée en après-midi sur Facebook, le Cégep indique avoir alerté le Service de sécurité incendie et la Sûreté du Québec dès qu’il a été mis au courant de la situation, avant de lancer ses procédures d’évacuation. Un périmètre de sécurité a été installé autour du campus, situé au 3000, avenue Boullé.
« Tous les étudiants et les membres du personnel sont en sécurité et aucune personne n’a été incommodée », a souligné l'établissement scolaire.
La Sûreté du Québec a reçu l’appel du Cégep vers 11 h 45, a confirmé à Narcity Québec la sergente Valérie Beauchamp, porte-parole de la SQ. Selon elle, le produit était entreposé dans un local de l’établissement, et l’évacuation s’est faite rapidement.
« Les techniciens en explosifs de la Sûreté du Québec sont en intervention présentement pour tenter de neutraliser le produit dangereux », a-t-elle expliqué, précisant que l’opération est toujours en cours et qu’aucun autre détail ne peut être donné pour le moment.
La nature exacte du produit n’a pas été dévoilée.
De son côté, le Cégep assure qu’il « collabore pleinement avec les autorités compétentes et suit l’évolution de la situation de près ».
Dans un avis publié sur ses réseaux sociaux, la Ville de Saint-Hyacinthe indique que le secteur est fermé à tous les véhicules aux trois intersections suivantes :
Les équipes d’urgence sont toujours sur place.

Par précaution, les cours sont annulés pour le reste de la journée dans l’ensemble des campus du Cégep, et non seulement au campus principal. La Ville précise que la suspension s’applique aussi aux cours du soir.
Des navettes d’autobus ont été mises en place pour permettre à la communauté collégiale de quitter les lieux.
Les personnes qui ont dû laisser leurs effets personnels sur place devront patienter un peu. Le Cégep promet de tenir la communauté étudiante et les membres du personnel au courant des prochaines étapes, dont la façon de récupérer leurs affaires.
