With grocery prices through the roof, your credit cards have probably been getting a workout. But you can do your bank account a favor by stocking up on some Costco frozen food items.
Here are some top picks that deserve a place in your freezer. These items are delicious and can form the basis for quick, affordable meals on nights you don’t really feel like cooking. They’re so good, that they could even prompt you to stay home instead of eating out, thus sparing you a restaurant bill.
1. Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks
You can score four pounds of frozen chicken breast chunks for just $20.19 delivered (and even less in store) if you pick up the Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks from Costco.
These delightful chicken treats come in a resealable bag and are fully cooked, so it’s just a simple matter of reheating them to get dinner on the plate. There are no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no steroids to worry about, and Costco’s price on them is below what many competitors charge, even if you’re paying the higher online price and having them delivered.
The breast chunks are a great alternative to chicken nuggets for your kids (or for you), but adults will love them as well. Serve them by themselves or in a salad for a simple and delicious meal.
2. Flav-R-Pac Cut Green Beans
Priced at just $8.09 for a five-pound bag, this Flav-R-Pac of cut green beans gives you the perfect base for a side dish or can be used as a yummy salad topper. Just $1.62 per pound is a great price for a healthy and nutritious product, and you can serve them along with Costco’s famous rotisserie chicken to have a complete meal on the cheap that actually has some health benefits as a bonus.
3. Kirkland Signature Ground Beef Patties
A classic hamburger is a great lunch or dinner, especially if you can just toss it on the grill or in a frying pan and have it ready within minutes. Whether you’re camping, tailgating, throwing a BBQ, or just want a fast and meaty meal at home, the Kirkland Signature Ground Beef patties waiting in your freezer will be there for you.
The online price-per-pound with delivery is only $5.10 and costs are lower in store, so these are a pretty good deal compared to what competitors charge for similar products. They’re also best if cooked directly from frozen so you don’t even have to plan ahead.
4. Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough, 6 lbs
This product is six pounds of cookie dough for $16.99 delivered. I shouldn’t even have to say anything more to convince you to buy it. But just in case you aren’t clearing freezer space right now, consider the fact that the cookie dough chunks are pre-portioned and don’t have to be thawed before baking. So you can just grab a few out of the freezer whenever you feel the urge for a cookie, bake them, and they’ll be ready in minutes.
Each of these Costco items is a great buy, and a delicious treat that you’ll want to have ready and waiting in case you need a meal or snack. Pick them up on your next Costco trip so you’ll have food at home the next time your kids (or you) are tempted to splurge on a restaurant meal just because you don’t feel like making something from scratch. Your wallet will thank you.
