Best Frozen Foods at Costco for a Family, From Costco Employee
Whether it's a busy work or school day, Kellogg's Eggo waffles are fast and convenient for when we don't have time to make breakfast. I like to serve them lightly toasted and crispy, topped with sugar-free syrup and strawberries.
I really like that they're made without any artificial flavors or colors and have nine vitamins and minerals. Kellogg's Eggo homestyle waffles come in a box of 72, with six 12-count resealable packages.
You can find a box of Kellogg's Eggo waffles for $12.
The Island Way sorbet shells are a great dessert with a smooth flavor that's both refreshing and relatively low-calorie. The sorbet is frozen in fruit shells and, according to its packaging, is gluten-free.
Each box contains 12 fruity-flavored sorbet shells stuffed with heavenly-coconut, red-berry-and-ruby-grapefruit, passionate-mango, and zesty-pomegranate flavors.
You can find this sweet dessert for $15.50.
Red's Meat Lovers burritos are a game changer when it comes to a quick breakfast. The breakfast burritos contain bacon, pork, scrambled eggs, and a blend of cheddar, pepper jack, and mozzarella.
One burrito, which has 16 grams of protein and 380 calories, can be heated up and ready in under two minutes.
One 10-count box of Red's Meat Lovers breakfast burritos costs $15.60.
The Meat District seasoned chicken party wings are my go-to for get-togethers. The crispy wings burst with flavor and are perfectly tender.
I like to cook them in my air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes to make them extra crispy. You can find a 3-pound package for $14 near other frozen-chicken products.
The Han-Chef Korean-style crispy potato corn dogs have been trending all over social media so I couldn't wait to try them when we got them in stock at my Costco.
This isn't just any corn dog — this is a Korean-style treat with potato chunks and mozzarella cheese in every bite. I'd say it's like a big version of a mozzarella stick with a twist, as it's basically battered cheese topped with potatoes.
To get them nicely crispy, I place them in my air fryer at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. An eight-count box of corn dogs costs $12, but I recommend checking your warehouse to see if item #1737923 is available before you go looking for them in-store.
There are few dinner options more convenient and fast for when you don't feel like cooking than the Ajinomoto Yakitori chicken with Japanese-style fried rice.
The chicken and rice are made with grilled white meat and tender vegetables in a savory sauce. The box contains six 9-ounce packages of the easy-to-prepare meal. Just pop one of the packages in the microwave for three minutes and serve with your favorite side.
You can find the Ajinomoto Yakitori chicken with fried rice for $15 per box.
The Kirkland Signature sausage and beef lasagna is a family favorite when it comes to Italian-style food. This meaty lasagna has so many delicious flavors, I'd say it's pretty close to homemade without all the labor.
I like to think of this dinner as a set-it-and-forget-it meal, as you just place it on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 375 degrees F for 55 minutes. Each bite gives you a taste of the Italian sausage, beef, sauce, and cheese — though I like to add some more mozzarella to my portion.
You get two 3-pound trays for $16.90, which is two dinners for the price of one in my four-person household.
This 8-pound bag of Ore-Ida golden crinkles french fries is the biggest package of the potato side I've come across.
French fries are so versatile and can be used with many dinners as a quick but satisfying side.
The Ore-Ida french fries are only $10.
If you're looking for something with a lot of protein, try the Foster Farms jumbo corn dogs.
The chicken franks are dipped in a honey batter and contain 10 grams of protein per serving. Air fry or microwave them for 12 minutes, and they're ready to eat.
A box of 28 corn dogs is $13.
The Just Bare chicken-breast pieces are my meal-prepping go-to because they're a great source of protein in so many dishes. I like to cook my chicken with some seasonings and diced onion and serve with a side of rice and mixed veggies.
The best thing about the uncooked chicken morsels is that they're fast and convenient, as you just place the frozen pieces on a pan and they're ready in 10 minutes.
According to its packaging, the Just Bare chicken is 99% fat-free with 23 grams of protein per serving, and has no artificial preservatives or flavors.
You can get 4 pounds of diced chicken for $18.
