Re: Costco
I'm wondering how regional the pre-made meals are. I regularly buy butter chicken, quinoa salad, and stuffed peppers. My family also likes the taco kits and chicken pot pies...but I can easily make those meals so I rarely buy them. I've never seen meatloaf or mashed potatoes at my store. We also buy a lot of the salad mixes: Creamy dill is our current favourite.

Re: Costco
We like the rotisserie chicken, but I'm not familiar with other pre-made meals.

Re: Costco
Why is it so satisfying to read through other people's lists?!
We don't buy the pre-made food...I'm thinking you're talking of the kits by the deli and meats. If you need sinus meds and vitamins their prices are usually amazing, especially if you land it on sale. These are things we get regularly...

Re: Costco
We like the rotisserie chicken too! That's probably the only pre-made meal we have gotten tho.

The four-packs of frozen burrito bowls are definitely packaged somewhere else. ---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ---------- My family likes the street tacos. You pay for someone else to put it together and that's ok in some circumstances. I get the frozen burrito bowls, but my family is slow to eat them. That's ok, because they can never say there's no food when we have 3 full freezers. I buy bread and freeze it. I buy croissants and baguettes, a dessert from the bakery once in a while. Moon cheese tortilla chips bulgogi jerky other jerky callagen powder drink mix Muscle milk anti-histamines make-up wipes Ritalin pain killers MCT oil ghee and coconut oil, though I prefer Aldi's sizes, but the ghee was so yellow at Costco last time TP, paper towels, bowls, spoons, sometimes red cups, but I don't like the small cups they have now Fiji water, various seltzer waters almond milk case macadamia nut milk case kirkland coffee pods Panko-breaded chicken nuggets chicken breasts The Tillamook cheese blocks are to die for, but my shredder broke quesadilla cheese Gerry five-pocket pants various plaid "flannel" shirts jackets trash cans computer chairs margarita mix batteries don't fall for the cheap light bulbs - that's only worth it if you don't mind changing them often sometimes a giant bag of dorito's or skinny pop ferrero rocher stupid huge m&m's bucket honey that brand of jelly made by a French family who hid Nazis from Jews, very good and gets better when you get used to European mixes of berries hiking shoes toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes Pho soup bowls q-tips frozen dumplings frozen smoothie mixes the vanilla ice cream cartons, has a little taste like McDonald's vanilla, but more grown-up texture peeled boiled eggs heavy cream (now in smaller size - the half gallon was way too big) The Kerry butter! You were really asking about pre-mades... variety of salad kits big enough for a family they make lots of cheap things from the left-over rotisserie chicken, but my family just won't let things be that easy for me pre-cut fruits pre-cooked frozen sausage and hamburgers - very good for those things that usually aren't good frozen There should be good frozen breakfast sandwiches Oh, oh, the mini tacos street tacos refrigerated ribs refrigerated soups tikka masala frozen meal and various other meals in that shape of packaging, refrigerated but I freeze them I get the roast beef lunch meat, cheddar slices, and croissants. 10 seconds in the microwave as a sandwich A billion things from the frozen section for the air fryer wings When they get tired of that, Trader Joe's has some frozen meals like chicken stir fry, etc.

Or text their friend "we have NO food in the house!" Can you tell it sort of triggers me. I've been tempted when they say that to actually remove all the food in the house and let them experience what it really means to have no food. Sorry for the tangent. Back to the scheduled thread.

Re: Costco
Threekids, that is quite a list! Makes me want to go shopping.
I was getting Horizon organic half and half which is just the very best, for I think 2.99 for a quart, but mine has stopped carrying it. :wah

Re: Costco
Thank you so much for all of the responses! Costco, as it turns out, is a bit overwhelming, and it must take time to get used to all of the choices. Like Sam's Club, I can see myself spending WAY too much if I'm not careful. There's SO much that I love (now that I've been).
For pre-made meals, I meant the kind in the deli that are fresh (not frozen). So far we've tried the Ravioli Lasagna (YUM!), Chicken Alfredo (kind of bland), and Chicken Enchiladas (decent, but better homemade). DH commented that the Ravioli Lasagna tastes like it is made in an Italian restaurant. It was really good! Several people mentioned street tacos and that's still on my list of things to try next! I love reading other people's lists! |
