What Nuts are Included?
The Kirkland Signature Extra Fancy unsalted mixed nuts include cashews, almonds, pistachios, and pecans. All of the nuts are unshelled, including the pistachio nuts.
All you have to do is simply reach into the jar and grab a handful. No extra work required!
Do You Like Salty Nuts?
All the nuts are unsalted, which is just how I like them. The nuts themselves are already packed with flavor, and I don’t need salt to enjoy them.
Salt may enhance the taste of the nuts, but that also leads to an increase in sodium and for me, that isn’t necessary.
Where do The Nuts Come From?
The Costco Mixed Nuts are processed and packaged in the USA, but the nuts can come from a variety of locations, including Benin, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, USA, and Vietnam.
As you can see, these nuts come from all over the world. I’m typically not a fan of having ambiguous product origin locations, but unfortunately, that is the case with these Kirkland Signature Unsalted Mixed Nuts.

How Much Do the Unsalted Mixed Nuts Cost at Costco?

Costco Vs The Competition
Some of the nationwide competitors have their own store brand version of mixed nuts just like Costco. Here is how they stack up
| Price | Price Per Pound | Price Per Ounce | Included Nuts | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Costco Unsalted Mix Nuts (40oz) | $14.79 | $5.916 | $0.37 | Cashew, Almond, Pistachios, Pecans |
| Target Roasted Unsalted Mixed Nuts (30oz) | $14.99 | $7.99 | $.50 | Almonds, Cashews, Hazelnuts, Pecans |
| Sam's Club Unsalted Mixed Nuts (34oz) | $13.98 | $6.58 | $0.41 | Cashews, Almond, Pecans, Pistachios, Hazelnuts |
Costco does barely edge out Sam’s Club in price. You save a little more than $0.50 per pound with Costco’s unsalted mixed nuts. Target is way out there on price and nearly charging 30% more than Sam’s Club and Costco.
First Impressions
Costco’s Unsalted Mixed nuts look great. The jar is designed beautifully and there is a wide mouth lid for easy access to the nuts.
The Kirkland Signature logo is simple but effective. I’ve noticed that Kirkland Signature goes fairly plain with their logos, which is nice because I’m not bombarded with marketing claims about the product or item.
It details what nuts are included – cashews, almonds, pistachios, pecans, but doesn’t give any more information.
Even Distribution of Nuts
From the looks of it, there seems to be an even distribution of nuts. It doesn’t look like one type of nut dominates any others in this jar.
If I’m buying mixed nuts, I want an even amount of the nuts, and this is exactly what this Kirkland Signature Unsalted Mixed Nuts provides.
Inconsistent Presentation
One concern I do have with the presentation of the nuts is that some nuts are not as roasted as others.
There are quite a few almonds in my jar that are a strange milky white color. It’s almost like an albino almond.
They taste fine, and I can’t blind taste test the difference between the two, but it does look odd.
Kirkland Signature Unsalted Mixed Nuts Review
Are Kirkland Mixed Nuts Good?
My wife is a big time grazer and she loves to snack all day. She is the one who first introduced the Kirkland Signature Unsalted Mixed Nuts to the CFDB household.
I’m personally not big on snacks, but I have to admit these nuts are good.
Extra Fancy or the Opposite?
It is interesting that they call these extra fancy nuts, because in my mind I would describe them as “nothing fancy about them”. They are simply unsalted mixed nuts, with no added salt or flavors. But yet, they are so tasty.
When I am in the mood for a snack, I will go to town on these. I always go with the mindset that I’m just going to have a few to munch on, but next thing you know I have a handful and then some.
Solid Nuts
These nuts are tasty and fresh, so I can’t really ask for more. My expectations were appropriate for these nuts, and they were met. They are great to snack on, and if you are feeling a little wild, they pair well with chocolate or dried fruits to make your own trail mix.

The calorie count may look a little high, but this is to be expected with nuts. They are high in fat and therefore a high-calorie food.
