It\u2019s not surprising that they make so much money considering they are the perfect one-stop-shop for groceries, gas, home goods, and electronics. But there\u2019s one product that outsells all the rest\u2014and no, it\u2019s not their $4.99 rotisserie chicken. Read up on these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/costco-chicken\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secrets behind the famous Costco staple<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"35310\"]\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s actually something that you constantly need to buy but probably hate spending money on. That\u2019s right, Costco\u2019s best-selling item is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/lifestyle\/costco-top-sellers-in-the-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">toilet paper<\/a>. They sell more than a billion rolls every year. The high quality and warehouse price of Costco\u2019s Kirkland brand toilet paper make it fly off the shelves every day. Don\u2019t forget to check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-new-things-at-costco-right-now\/\">best things to buy at Costco<\/a>.\r\n\r\nCostco actually employs toilet paper engineers to review and test the product before it gets to customers. It might seem like an unnecessary step, but it\u2019s worth it considering they make around $400 million from the product every year. They even use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/video\/2012\/04\/18\/testing-costcos-crown-jewel-toilet-paper.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">special tool<\/a> to test its level of whiteness!\r\n\r\nThese are other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/advice\/saving-money\/best-kirkland-costco-items\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirkland items you should always buy at Costco<\/a>.\r\n\r\nDuring the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, their toilet paper was flying off the shelves much quicker than it typically does (as it was from every other store that sold toilet paper as well). They were selling out so quickly that Costco had to limit the number of packages customers could buy and <a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2020\/03\/19\/costco-crackdown-coronavirus-restrictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">stopped accepting returns<\/a> on toilet paper to prevent people from panic buying more than they actually need. The beloved Kirkland brand toilet paper is slowly starting to reappear on shelves again, but there are some other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/list\/things-you-wont-see-in-costco-anymore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">things that you won't see in Costco anymore<\/a>.\r\n\r\nYou\u2019ll probably think about toilet paper a little differently the next time you use the bathroom. \u00a0Next, read up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/advice\/saving-money\/costco-secrets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secrets Costco employees won\u2019t tell
