If you're in a part of the country recently pummeled by snow, rain and gloomy weather, it probably feels like spring is a long way off. You may still be shopping with winter in mind, but spring will arrive more quickly than you realize.

Get ahead of spring shopping with some great deals on Costco's signature Kirkland brand products, which are often even more affordable than its other great deals.

Here are some Kirkland items that can make you ready for spring.

Take spring cleaning literally by emptying out your closets, garage, sheds, last year's wardrobe, the kids' old toys, papers, books or that random box of electrical cords you keep meaning to "get to" one day. And to make it simple, keep some boxes of these 13-gallon kitchen trash bags on hand to gather it all in one easy-to-remove place. You'll pay just $20.99 for 200 bags.

Cold and flu season has been brutal this year -- and you want to go into spring fit and ready to get outside and enjoy the good weather. In addition to eating well, getting enough sleep and keeping your stress down, consider adding in a supplement that is associated with keeping you healthy and full of energy. You can get Kirkland's CoQ10 in a bottle with 100 softgels for just $20.99, cheaper than many health food stores sell the same type of product.

If spring allergies turn pleasant outdoor activities into a sneezy, itchy misery, you'll want to have your allergy remedies on hand to make it tolerable. Kirkland's Aller-Flo allergy spray consists of the same ingredient in name brand Flonase, fluticasone propionate. This non-drowsy, and nonmedicated, product contains 50 micrograms of the active ingredient in each of its 720 metered sprays. You get five bottles for just $18.99.

With spring often comes the urge to get walking, running or hiking. But let's face it, new sneakers can be astronomically expensive if you're into big name brands and fancy packaging. If practicality is your jam, you'll be happy to pay only $32.99 for this pair of Kirkland men's sneakers. What they lack in snazzy brand appeal, they make up for in comfort, with breathable engineered mesh upper lining and a cushioned sock liner.

If you're already outfitted with your new sneakers, it might be time to greet spring with some new signature logo joggers in gray or black, for men and women. While spring may be warmer than winter, often mornings are still crisp and the afternoon heat may not linger as long. It might not be quite time for shorts, and you'll appreciate the comfort of these sweats, and the price even more, with each pair just $19.97.

There's never a bad time of year to have more coffee on hand. With spring weather comes the opportunity to mix up your morning coffee -- it might be time to lean into iced over hot, or whip up a fun mocha or coffee-based smoothie. To make sure you don't run out quickly, check out 3 pounds of Kirkland's 100% Colombian coffee, dark roasted for deep flavor and finely ground, just $16.99.

Housework never takes a vacation, no matter the season -- there will always be dishes, pots and pans to wash. However, there are other things that might need washing on a bigger scale come spring, like cars that have taken the brunt of winter weather, dirty dogs after running on muddy trails and even, possibly, excited children, happy to be spending time out in nature again. A little Kirkland Ultra Shine liquid dish soap will come in handy. You can get a 90-ounce container for just $9.99.

With spring often comes more activity, and that means everyone's burning up a bigger appetite. It's a great time to have health snacks on hand that you can go to in a pinch without worrying about unhealthy ingredients. Kirkland's Signature nut bars, which are similar to the Kind brand, have no artificial flavors, but are packed with protein. Get a box of 30 for just $17.99.
