12 Costco August Freezer Deals That Are Too Good To Pass Up

Costco's frozen aisle is quietly one of the best places to stretch a grocery budget, and this month it's worth a slow lap. Five freezer favorites are marked down through Aug. 23 as part of Costco's August savings event — including $5.20 off Giovanni Rana's beef and short rib lasagna and $4 off the cult-favorite Just Bare chicken chunks — and we rounded up seven more finds that earn their spot in your cart at everyday prices.

If you want to save money at Costco without clipping a single coupon, start here. Just don't wait too long: the markdowns thaw out on Aug. 23.

Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location. Prices shown reflect Costco Same-Day Delivery and are typically lower in-warehouse.

Price: $15.77 (on sale from $19.77)

If there's one freezer deal to grab this month, make it this one. These lightly breaded, boneless-skinless chicken chunks are the ones shoppers swear taste like a certain chicken chain's nuggets, and right now they're $4 off (down from $19.77) through Aug. 23.

You get a resealable 4-pound bag, which pencils out to less than $4 a pound for fully cooked chicken — a rare thing these days.

They crisp up in the air fryer in about 12 minutes, work in wraps, salads, and rice bowls, and keep busy-weeknight dinners cheap and painless. Cage-free chicken, no artificial ingredients, and no cooking skill required. Stock up before the markdown ends.

Price: $13.38 (on sale from $18.58)

This is the freezer dinner to keep on hand for the nights you want something that tastes like you fussed without actually fussing. Giovanni Rana's lasagna layers tender beef and short rib in a rich sauce, and at $5.20 off (down from $18.58) through Aug. 23, it's the deepest discount on our list.

The 42-ounce tray feeds about four to six, which makes it an easy sub for takeout or a restaurant pasta night that would cost three times as much. It bakes straight from frozen, and Costco members clearly approve — it carries dozens of member reviews on Costco.com. Keep one in the freezer for a rainy day.

Price: $15.08

Friday pizza night doesn't have to mean a $30 delivery order. This two-pack of authentic Detroit-style deep dish comes loaded with double pepperoni, thick focaccia-style crust, and those crispy, cheesy caramelized edges Detroit pizza is famous for.

At $15.08 for two full pizzas, you're paying about $7.54 each — less than a single personal pie at most pizzerias, with no tip and no delivery fee.

Each one bakes up in the oven in around 20 minutes, feeds a couple of hungry people, and honestly rivals what you'd get from a good local shop. Keep a box in the freezer and you'll never overpay for a pizza craving again.

Price: $14.18

When you want to end the day with something that feels like a real treat, these deliver. Häagen-Dazs bars pair creamy vanilla ice cream with a thick milk chocolate shell and crunchy roasted almonds — the same premium bars that cost a small fortune bought individually at a convenience store.

This box of 15 works out to under a dollar a bar, a fraction of the single-serve price. They're the kind of freezer luxury worth keeping on hand for quiet nights, weekend guests, or whenever you deserve a little something extra. Buying the multipack instead of grabbing them one at a time is a small, painless way to keep more money in your pocket.

Price: $12.47 (on sale from $16.47)

These pork and chicken gyoza are a freezer MVP, and they're $4 off (down from $16.47) through Aug. 23. The box holds five trays of 12 — 60 dumplings total — so you can pan-fry a quick appetizer, round out a stir-fry, or pull together a light dinner without defrosting the whole batch.

They go from freezer to crispy-bottomed in about 12 minutes, and the thin, delicate wrapper genuinely tastes like something from a restaurant. Costco members rate them 4.8 out of 5 stars, so you're not gambling on this one. At this price, they're one of the best low-effort, crowd-pleasing buys in the whole aisle.

Price: $7.93 (on sale from $10.93)

At under $8 — and $3 off through Aug. 23 — these vegetable spring rolls might be the best value on the list for entertaining.

The bag holds 50 rolls with a soy ginger dipping sauce included, which works out to roughly 16 cents apiece. That's practically free compared to what a plate of spring rolls costs at a sit-down restaurant.

They bake or air-fry to a satisfying crunch in minutes, making them a lifesaver when guests drop by or when you need a fast, no-fuss side for an at-home takeout night. Vegan and dairy-free, too, so they cover a lot of dietary bases at your next get-together. Keep a bag on standby.

Price: $18.15

If your family loves Korean fried chicken but not the takeout price tag, this one's for you.

Bibigo's Sobaba chicken delivers that shatteringly crunchy coating tossed in a sweet-savory glaze, and the 48-ounce (3-pound) bag runs about $6 a pound. A single order of Korean fried chicken from a restaurant can easily cost more than this whole bag, and you'd get a fraction of the food.

It heats up in the oven or air fryer and works as a main over rice, a party appetizer, or the base for rice bowls and lettuce wraps. It's the kind of freezer find that turns an ordinary weeknight into something everyone's excited about.

Price: $19.28

Getting more fish into the weekly rotation gets a lot easier with a bag of these in the freezer. Sea Cuisine's tilapia fillets are coated in a corn tortilla crust with chipotle pepper and garlic, so they bake up crisp and flavorful without any breading, seasoning, or cleanup on your end.

The 2-pound bag gives you individually breaded fillets you can cook one or two at a time, which is ideal for smaller households or portion control.

They're perfect flaked into tacos, laid over a salad, or served alongside rice and veggies for a fast, lighter dinner. For restaurant-style crusted fish at under $10 a pound, it's an easy add to the cart.

Price: $8.84 (on sale from $11.84)

Dessert doesn't get much easier — or cheaper — than a freezer stocked with these. Oreo's mini ice cream sandwiches are $3 off (down from $11.84) through Aug. 23, bringing a 24-count box to about 37 cents per treat.

The little size is exactly the point: they're just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth without going overboard, which makes them great for portioning out after dinner or handing to the grandkids on a hot afternoon.

They're individually wrapped for grab-and-go convenience, so they stay neat in the freezer and travel well to a cookout or pool day. A fun, low-cost treat that beats a trip to the ice cream shop every time.

Price: $17.81

Every freezer needs a reliable crowd-pleaser, and a 5-pound bag of mozzarella sticks more than earns its shelf space.

At $17.81 for five pounds — about $3.56 a pound — these cost a fraction of what a single appetizer order runs at a restaurant, and you get enough to feed a house full of hungry kids, game-day guests, or after-school snackers with plenty left over.

The crispy seasoned breading holds up beautifully in the air fryer or oven, staying crunchy outside with that satisfying cheese pull inside. Serve them with a bowl of warm marinara and they disappear fast. It's the ultimate low-cost, high-payoff freezer staple for entertaining on a budget.

Price: $13.27

A breakfast classic earns its spot for sheer value: this box packs 72 Homestyle waffles for $13.27, which comes out to about 18 cents a waffle. Try matching that at a café.

They toast up in a couple of minutes for busy school mornings, and they're endlessly flexible — top them with fruit and yogurt, turn them into breakfast sandwiches, or let the kids build their own.

With more than 140 Costco member reviews, this is a tried-and-true favorite that families keep coming back to. Buying breakfast staples in bulk like this is one of the simplest ways to shave money off your grocery bill week after week.

Price: $15.77

These have become a genuine Costco cult favorite, and it's easy to see why: whole strawberries dipped in a layer of white chocolate and then milk chocolate, frozen so the fruit stays juicy and the shell stays snappy. They feel like a special-occasion treat but land in dessert-for-one-or-two territory.

The value math works, too — Costco's 24-ounce tub runs about 66 cents an ounce, versus roughly $7.27 for an 8-ounce bag at Walmart (about 91 cents an ounce).

Keep them in the freezer for an elegant after-dinner bite, a party platter addition, or a better-than-candy treat that still feels a little indulgent. Once you try them, they earn permanent freezer real estate.

Costco's freezer section rewards shoppers who plan ahead, and August is a smart month to stock up — five of these picks are marked down through Aug. 23, and the rest deliver everyday value that beats takeout and single-serve prices. Load up while the deals are live, and weekly deals like these can also help you save more money on groceries.
