I got a frozen pizza that was much better than your typical frozen pizza, not sure on the brand but it had a picture of a guy from one of those cooking shows on it (not emeril).

The Purdue popcorn chicken is pretty good! Not too unhealthy but not too healthy either. Also try Yoplait yogurt if you're into yogurt. I always get the catfish filets and the 50-70 count tail off shrimp. You can pop the shrimp into the microwave for about a minute depending whether you like to eat cold shrimp or warm shrimp and add some cocktail sauce and you're golden. Shrimp is healthy! Some Costco's have grilled chicken strips which you can pop into the microwave for a quick snack. I also get the 8 pack Campbell's Chunky Chicken soup too! Costco's awesome.

Also, over by the butcher section by the prepacked deli meats, they often have authentic Mexican tamales. Most people don't even know they're over there, but they're darn good too.

THanks!

Oh, come on. Walk around the freezer dept. All Costco locations are different.

They have this frozen french onion soup that is really good. (Surprisingly) They also had these chicken bowls... I can't remember exactly but they were really good as well.

are they the McDonald type or real hashbrowns?

Real as frozen can get anyway. They're the strips and when you put em on a griddle, they're all scraggly at the edges where there wasn't enough hash to stick together.

The Tyson Lemon Lime Wings are awesome but only available seasonally in the summer I believe.

Marie's chicken pot pies are the best of the bunch. I've tried Pepperidge Farm and Boston Market but Marie's is so much better.

I love to go there around lunch time to get the free samples....you can try many different things. I really don't eat much frozen food any more. But their pizzas, meat, seafood, and yogurt is unbeatable!

I'm not kidding when i tell you the ABSOLUTE BEST frozen food is the Tyson's buffalo wings and also Tyson's honey BBQ wings. You can use an oven or microwave.

I like Kirkland meat and sausage lasagna. Frozen King crab legs rock as well.
