Price: $10.88

If you want to skip the prep work of making your own salad at home, pick up this Cobb salad kit from Sam's Club, complete with chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and more toppings. 

The salad is $5.28 per pound, so prices will vary, but you'll get nine servings per container, meaning each serving will be a little over a dollar.

Price: $11.98

Just throw these mini tacos in the oven, and you've got a delicious, low-cost meal. Packed full of chicken, corn salsa, and Monterrey Jack cheese, they're perfect as-is or as the base layer for your own delicious taco creation. 

You'll get 60 tacos between the two packages, working out to 20 cents per taco.

Price: $14.98

It's hard to beat a Stouffer's lasagna's saucy, cheesy, meaty goodness, especially for just $14.98. The frozen lasagna contains 12 servings, which means it's $1.25 per meal — or $2.50 if you want seconds. 

That's nearly half of what you'd pay for a family-size Stouffer's lasagna at Target, which is $2.00 per serving.

Price: $13.98

The Sam's Club in-house brand, Member's Mark, offers some of the most creative, delicious prepackaged meals in the store, like this premade pork carnitas. 

The two-pound container of tender, shredded pork is a crowd favorite among Sam's Club shoppers. "The meat is tender, flavorful, and has just enough fat to keep it moist when reheating," one reviewer says.

Grab a stack of tortillas, and you'll have 11 servings of flavorful pork tacos for under $20.

Price: $10.98

Slow-cooking pulled pork yourself can be very time-consuming, so this Member's Mark pulled pork is an easy shortcut. 

The two-pound container holds 11 servings, which works out to just about a dollar per serving, which is much cheaper than Target's three-serving Good & Gather pulled pork, which has three servings for $7.99.

Pile it on a bun to make a sandwich or top homemade nachos with the smoked pulled pork for a cheap meal the whole family will love.

Price: $10.76

These precut wraps make the perfect no-fuss lunch — no assembly required. It's priced at $5.38 per pound, so the cost will vary, but you'll likely pay around $10 for nutritious, ready-to-eat wraps.

If you're wondering whether it would be cheaper to make the wraps yourself, think again. A pack of Member's Mark sliced chicken breast alone will cost you more than the wraps at $9.97.

Price: $12.98

These lightly breaded, boneless chicken breasts are stuffed with cheesy broccoli for the perfect protein and vegetable combination, no ingredient prep required. 

With six portions for $12.98, you'll pay just $2.16 per meal. In comparison, the same dinner would cost $7.99 for two servings at Safeway.

Price: $17.94

Instead of taking the time to season and cook the beef yourself, serve these herby Angus beef bites with a side for a classic, hearty meal on a budget. 

The tender, bite-sized beef is slow-cooked and topped with a herb garlic compound butter, saving you money and time on a delicious dinner. You can't beat the price of $2.36 per plate.

Price: $15.12

If you're not in the mood for a plain Sam's Club rotisserie chicken, the ultimate cheap meal, then these rotisserie chicken enchiladas are a tasty alternative. 

They come already assembled and ready to pop in the oven for just $3.98 per pound. 

Price: $15.94

Pour this buttery shrimp scampi over pasta and veggies, or serve it on its own for a delicious, low-cost seafood dinner. 

For $15.94, you get two one-pound bags with enough food to feed eight people. And it's only 98 cents more than a bag of plain frozen jumbo shrimp without the prep work.

Price: $16.44

We love this taco kit because it's an easy way to have a DIY taco night and offers the ability to customize your tacos with additional sauces or toppings. 

Just open the box up and start assembling your shredded chicken, slaw, cheese, salsa, and delicious cilantro-lime crema. 

Top with fresh lime, and these tacos are cheaper per serving than most premade taco kits you'll find in other grocery stores, from Safeway to Sprouts.

Price: $14.78

This delicious New Orleans-style dinner will look and smell like a homemade meal, from the blackened white meat chicken mixed to the perfectly al dente penne pasta and zesty cheese sauce. 

However, you'll be paying just $1.85 per serving for the pasta dish instead of the $3 per serving you would pay for Target's Good & Gather chicken alfredo.

Price: $12.98

Chicken pot pie is one of the coziest meals around, and there's no need to make it from scratch with these personal pies packed with 17 grams of protein. 

From the crispy, flaky pie shell to the tender white meat and mixed veggie filling, this is comfort food on a budget. You'll get eight for $12.98 or $1.62 per serving, which is $1.15 less than a single pot pie from Walmart.

While Sam's Club prices can help you save money on all kinds of groceries, shopping for prepackaged meals is the way to go if you want to save time and money on family dinners.

Be sure to factor in any additional meal costs, like side dishes or desserts, as you budget, so you can save even more during your next grocery trip.
