Stocking my freezer is one of my favorite ways to make life easier, especially on those busy nights when I don’t have the time or energy to cook from scratch. Over the years, I’ve discovered my Costco frozen food favorites, which I always keep on hand. If you’re wondering how I manage to keep all these frozen foods at home, it’s because I have two fridges! From quick weeknight meals, after school snacks, or appetizers for last-minute guests, these freezer items save me time. Here are the Costco freezer staples I swear by—you might just find a few new favorites to add to your list!
Ling Ling Potstickers
These potstickers are a staple in my freezer. My kids love them, and they’re my go-to whenever I’m tired or lazy. I usually pan-fry them, and they cook up perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I love serving them with rice. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Caribbean Food Delights Jamaican Beef Patties
These beef patties are my secret weapon for quick lunches. My son loves them so much he even eats them for breakfast (it’s that good!) They’re flaky, not too spicy, and full of flavor. They’re easy to prepare—just microwave for 2 minutes, and they’re ready to eat.
Just Bare Chicken Tenders
I’ll admit, these chicken tenders might be my favorite Costco freezer find. First of all, they taste delicious—very similar to Chick-fil-A. They are also easy to prepare—just air fry and serve. Both my kids and husband love them.
Morey’s Wild Alaskan Salmon
This salmon is a lifesaver for healthy weeknight dinners. It’s pre-marinated and so flavorful that all I have to do is bake it. Serve it with veggies and rice or pasta for a complete meal.
Clovis Farms Organic Super Smoothie Blend
This is my go-to frozen smoothie mix, and it’s truly a game-changer. What I love most is that it comes in individually portioned bags, perfectly blending organic blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kale, spinach, and bananas. Call me lazy, but having it pre-portioned makes the entire smoothie-making process so much easier—it feels like one less roadblock to making smoothies. Plus, if you’re worried about the kale flavor, don’t be—it’s barely noticeable. My kids love them, making it a win for the whole family!
Kirkland Stir Fry Vegetables
In my effort to eat more plant-based foods, this has become my go-to veggie mix for quick and healthy meals. It’s pre-chopped and ready to go so that I can sauté it with a little soy sauce in no time. Unlike most frozen vegetables, this mix holds its shape beautifully—thanks to hearty ingredients like broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, bell peppers, carrots, water chestnuts, and onions. I also love that it includes mushrooms, which add a richer flavor and make it feel like a complete mix. It’s the perfect, hassle-free side dish for dinner.
Trident Fish Sticks
These fish sticks are my daughter’s favorite, so I always keep them on hand. They are really easy to prepare—just air-fry and serve. They come out crispy and delicious.
Kirkland Lasagna
When I don’t feel like cooking, this lasagna saves the day. It’s layered with rich meat sauce, creamy cheese, and pasta, and it tastes way better than you’d expect from a frozen dish.
Bibigo Steamed Dumplings
I can’t count how many times these dumplings have saved me from a hunger meltdown. They come in individual trays and are ready in just 2 minutes.
Tattooed Chef Sheet Pan Vegetables
I’ve recently discovered these Tattooed Chef Frozen Sheet Pan vegetables. I like that they’re already seasoned and roast beautifully. It’s an easy vegetable side dish.
Authentic Asia Shrimp Wonton Ramen
This ramen is my ultimate comfort food. The shrimp wontons are delicious, and the broth tastes like something you’d get at a restaurant. It also feels like I’m eating a healthier version of the dried instant ramen. It’s perfect for lazy nights at home.
Hot Maki Beef Bulgogi Kimbap
I recently discovered these Beef Bulgogi kimbaps, and they’ve quickly become a family favorite. They’re delicious Korean sushi rolls filled with savory beef bulgogi, and my kids can’t get enough of them. Lately, I haven’t seen them at my Costco warehouse, but I’m really hoping they don’t discontinue them. They’re so easy to prepare—just heat them in the microwave and serve.
Foster Farms Buffalo Chicken Wings
These Foster Farms Buffalo Chicken Wings are always a hit in my house, and they’re so convenient. I just pop them in the oven or air fryer, and they’re ready to serve with celery and blue cheese dressing.
Bibigo Mini Wontons
I always keep a bag of these mini wontons in my freezer because they’re an easy dinner entree on busy weeknights. Now, if you’re like me and not a fan of cilantro, don’t let the label scare you off! For the longest time, I avoided trying these because of the cilantro, but I’m so glad I finally gave them a chance. They’re absolutely delicious, and the cilantro flavor is so subtle, you won’t even notice it’s there. Check out 17 Costco Meals Cheaper than Restaurant Take Out to Save You Money
