The bigger containers of hummus are good, the refrigerated jars of pesto are really good and my kids like the spinach ravioli. I also like the packaged salad kits in the produce area.

The chicken pot pie and shepherds pies are excellent, but they may be more cooler weather options? My kids love the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I wish you could but just the potatoes bc they are really great. The salmon with pesto is good. Grab a jar of pesto bc it’s great, too. The pork ribs are hard to find in stock but are excellent

Their quiche is pretty good. Two in the package, so we freeze one.

Has anyone tried the chicken pot pie?

I hope you're not going to the Gaithersburg location.


+100 I always bring it to potlucks and folks love it!


A Mayo based seafood salad sounds terribly at a potluck. Especially one that is pre-made at a grocery store up to days in in advance

We like the beef kabobs from the falafel company. They are actually koobideh not beef chunks, which you can tell from the picture. Heats up quick on the grill or air fryer, serve with plain Greek yogurt, hummus, tomato’s, pita or naan.

Kids like the Mac n cheese.

I actually think that their prepared foods aren’t as good as their frozen options. Been disappointed with some of the Indian prepared foods.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I throw it in throw it in the freezer. 350 degrees for 2 hours plus a green veg and I've got a family friendly meal. Mac n cheese is good in the freezer too. Street tacos are just "eh" - the meat is eaten and then there are about 100 tortillas that never get eaten. Milano salmon is good too, but doesn't freeze.

I would try a couple of things before buying a ton of different things because I haven't loved theit prepared stuff or frozen food that you justheatup.

I would not go for the first time over the weekend. It will be crowded and unpleasant and you won't be able to browse.

Not sure yet but I just got the Yakisoba Stir Fry Noodles With Seasoned Chicken but will be making it for dinner. I like the street tacos generally.

The pot roast that is sold during the cooler months is amazing. The meatloaf is pretty good.

We also love the stuffed peppers and lots of people really like the street taco kits. We used to get the ravioli lasagna but I haven’t seen them lately and they’re really not very healthy lol!

My family likes the stuffed peppers. I would not recommend the chicken salad. It’s made with their rotisserie chicken meat and has kind of a slimy texture because of that I think.

I’m sure this has been asked often, but I have a brand new membership to Costco and will excitedly be going for my first time as a member this weekend.


I’ve gotten good tips to stock up on bottled water, juice boxes, Rao’s tomato sauce, bulk Tylenol, and paper products. I’m also going to check out prices on fresh meat and fish plus wine and produce. I’m wondering what products that are specifically ready to eat (prepared in store) or in the refrigerated section (manufactured) like prepackaged microwavable enchilada kits or value packs of hummus, that you love and would recommend. I’m looking for some quick and easy dinner ideas during the week and I’m hoping to find some great options.

TIA!
