Has anyone had a Costco/Kirkland ham?

My wife thinks we need to spend $5 a pound on a local ham for Christmas. (Dearborn Ham near Detroit). We're hosting around 40 people for Christmas day. I'm hoping the Kirkland one is good enough. BTW the Costco ham is $2.29 a pound.

If it's Costco, it's got to be good. And it's a good company to its employees.

fixing and serving meals. Recently, one of our volunteers brought in a ham as part of the meal we were serving that evening and it was absolutely amazing. And from Costco. I have no idea if Costco carries more than one brand, but this was one of the best hams I've ever seen or had.

So go for it.
