No, not the hot dogs and pizza. I'm talking about the pre-prepared meals they sell. Let's post them. They make some interesting stuff and occasionally rotate them out.

Right now among my favorites is:

Tortellini pasta salad with mozzarella pearls. I don't usually like olives but this is pretty good. It has tri-colored tortellini with strips of ham. It's really good.

Turkey and Swiss roll-ups. I stop buying these because I could demolish a box.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp. If you like seafood, shrimp in particular this is heaven.

Chicken Salad with Rotisserie Chicken. Enough said.

Add your own.

That spinach salad is GOAT. Love that damn thing.

 

[Watevaman]

We get their Fettuccine Alfredo all the time. It's the best.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Oh no.

We had these for my son's first birthday party last year. They were good.

And then we had them the next day.

And then the next day.

And then the next day.

Never again.

 

[dragonflys545]

Thanks guys... Guess I'll head to Costco after work today.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Everything is really good, but they should sell half-portions. We always end up throwing some away because the packages are so big.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Love that shrimp. Hate that Costco Taiwan doesn't have it, and instead has a weird Thai seafood salad that is not as good.

 

[Zhengi]

Their poke is delicious.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I swear everyday about an hour before lunch someone makes a thread that makes me twice as hungry.

That chicken rotisserie salad, and that shrimp thing look

Never been to costco though.

 

[Tenck]

I could live off the chicken salad. It's so good ;_;

 

[Tom Nook]

I'm hungry...

Their sushi is pretty good.

 

[JimJamJones]

Their turkey and swiss roll things are so damn addictive.

They don't last more than a day or two when I buy them.

The GOAT:

 

[ILoveBish]

The Greek pasta salad is incredible. I can't eat it anymore, but back when I used to eat badly, it was one of my favorite foods.

 

[XenodudeX]

Those prices tho..

 

[Risible]

Their poke is delicious.

Do tell.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Their poke is delicious.

THEY SELL POKE?!

BRB going to Costco.

 

[johnny_park]

Their poke is delicious.

Where do you live?

 

[Charlatan]

Wait, some Costcos have a food bar? WHAT????? Never seen one on the east coast.

 

[painey]

$10 for a salad???

 

[Wag]

Their poke is delicious.

WTF is this? My Costco doesn't sell pre-prepared food behind a salad bar. They just sell it in pre-packed containers. It looks like you have a much wider selection than mine does as well too.

 

[Zhengi]

Where do you live?

I'm in Los Angeles. They sell them in those clear plastic boxes. Some Costcos sell poke like in the picture I posted.

 

[Tenck]

Not every Costco sells it. I know some guy who works for a Costco in California says they rotate their offerings. I've never seen it in Phoenix.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

$10 for a salad???

Nevermind, it's chicken salad. Still it's a lot of chicken salad.

 

[donkey show]

Do tell.

Had it when I went to the Costco in Kauai. It's pretty damn good. Apparently they sell it at Costcos in So Cal as well during the weekends, but I've never seen it when I used to live there a couple years back.

 

[johnny_park]

I live in Hawaii and I've never seen it here. Maybe because I never looked. I always by my poke from Foodland.

you could buy a whole rotisserie chicken, a loaf of bread and 2L of soda for less than $10 at my local grocery store

 

[daveo42]

The issue with them Italian Roll things is that they seem overly salty. Well, most deli foods are overly salty. Bleh.

 

[Wag]

I could buy myself chicken parts, a glass of water and some bread for $5.

It's not like I buy this stuff all the time. Once in a while you gotta splurge.

That shrimp tho...

 

[Ryuukan]

none of that is chicken salad tho?

 

[Cels]

how many people does that boxed stuff feed?

(referring to the cilantro lime shrimp and chicken salad)

there is no way i could finish that by myself. maybe even with another person.

 

[Rizific]

ive always been interested in some myself. i tried the chicken alfredo last week. disappointed. its sort of tasty, but not enough sauce and really oily. i wont be buying that again and would not recommend it.

 

[Tenck]

I take it you never had the chicken salad. They don't go easy on the portion. I've had it last me 2 days.

Easily feeds two people. My sister and I shared one box when we first bought it and we barely finished it by the end of the day.

yeah, but I thought the whole point of Costco was that it was cheap as fuck.

 

[Quixzlizx]

A rotisserie chicken that's at least 50% larger than the one I can buy at my local supermarket is $5 at Costco.

I always buy the rotisserie chicken thighs 8-pack for $5, because I'm too lazy to carve a whole chicken, and because I like dark meat better anyway.

 

[CrocMother]

yeah, but I thought the whole point of Costco was that it was cheap as fuck.

The point is that everything is cheaper in bulk.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

The true GOAT.

 

[Tenck]

It's all in bulk. Just because the price is $10 doesn't mean they cut back on the portions they sell. It's still a lot of food. That picture does the salad no justice. You have to see it in person.

 

[Spasm]

They make THE best chicken pot pie I've ever had. To bad it's like, 12lbs and I wouldn't be able to eat 1/4 of it before it went bad.

 

[Ryuukan]

it doesnt have any bread or soda in it, so he would probably find it disgusting

 

[Wag]

The true GOAT.

But what's the point if I fail a drug test and can't work? 😀

Costco used to cater exclusively to big business. Those days are long gone. Now it's more individuals and families who use it than anything. That's why they sell pre-packaged meals and such.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

lol, 10 dollars for chicken salad.

 

[loaf of bread]

you could buy a whole rotisserie chicken, a loaf of bread and 2L of soda for less than $10 at my local grocery store

You could do the same thing at costco. Rotisseries are 5 bucks

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

This. The quinoa salad is amazing, too.

 

[Tenck]

I like to load up on carbs yo!

Monster chicken. Even Sam's Club can't match the size. It's crazy.

 

[Wag]

lol, 10 dollars for chicken salad.

It's a lot of chicken- plus it's rotisserie chicken. No bones. It's well worth it. It's delicious. 😀

 

[turtle553]

That spinach salad is GOAT. Love that damn thing.

Yes.

Although I'm still salty they got rid of the chicken caesar salad wraps.

 

[BigDes]

As an ignorant uk type, what is poke and why is it such demand?

 

[Rival]

The only bad thing I ever got from there is the ribs.

 

[mm04]

Bring back the Chicago style deep dish pizza, Costco! Damn it was good for like $9.
