Authentic Asia Chicken Wonton Ramen with Bok Choy
Price: $14.99
Pass on pricey takeout this May, and nab this enticing entree from Costco's freezer section.
Fans of this brand's Shrimp Wonton Ramen are in for a treat. The chicken and bok choy version is just as good, if not better than, the popular seafood selection.
Pur Vida Fire Roasted Mexican Street Corn
Price: $10.99
Serve a side that gets noticed. Forget about canned corn, this rich, smoky freezer section find features fire-roasted kernels blended with crumbled queso fresco cheese and tangy sour cream elote sauce.
Don't worry about finishing the entire 3.5-pound bag at one meal. This bulk buy is cleverly divided into four 14-ounce packs.
Nutella Ice Cream Cones
Price: $9.99
Nutella, ice cream, and a crunchy cone, what could be better? The chocolate hazelnut spread isn't just in the pantry aisle. Now you can get the flavor you savor in a frozen sweet treat.
This is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day, according to shoppers. Redditor daisydxw gave the new novelties a 10/10, writing, "A good layer of Nutella on top is super thick and creamy and almost melts in your mouth."
Kirkland Signature Ground Beef Patties
Price: $33.99
Summer grilling season is here. But the climbing cost of ground beef could break your barbecue budget.
These ready-to-cook, raw, frozen patties save time and money. Get 18 of the one-third-pound 75/25 burgers for under $24 this month.
Amylu Breakfast Bites
Price: $13.49
Start your day off with a filling meal. Each six-piece serving contains a whopping 14 grams of protein. And bonus, the fully cooked chicken sausage bites aren't filled with artificial ingredients. Instead, they're made with antibiotic-free chicken, sea salt, spices, parsley, crushed red pepper, and vinegar.
Kirkland Signature Breaded Panko Shrimp
Price: $19.99
Toss this popular party-ready pick into your cart ASAP. Whether you're entertaining outdoors or hosting another type of event, the 40 to 50-count box of crispy Panko-breaded shrimp is an easy (and affordable) app.
Shoppers rave about this frozen food. Redditor mamapapapuppa gushed, "10/10 recommend…Came out better than most shrimp appetizers from a standard restaurant."
Lilly B's Organic Bean, Rice, and Cheese Burritos
Price: $11.99
These cheesy brown rice and pinto bean burritos are everything you need rolled up into one convenient heat-and-eat wrap.
With 11 grams of protein per serving, this pick is a hearty meal that won't disappoint. And at $11.99 for an eight-count box, you'll have money left over to splurge on spicy salsa or creamy guac.
Columbus Turkey Burgers
Price: $10.79
Not a fan of beef? If you're looking for an easy alternative, snag a 10-count (3.33-pound) box of these turkey burgers. The 90/10 lean patties are pre-seasoned and ready for you to grill.
Kirkland Signature Crispy Chicken Wings
Price: $14.99
Why waste money on takeout wings when you can get this four-pound bag (with a tangy Buffalo sauce included) for under $15? An order of 15 bone-in wings from Buffalo Wild Wings costs $5 more. And that doesn't even include a delivery app fee or tip.

Dole Whip Tropical Guava Passion
Price: $9.89
Pineapple Dole Whip fans are in for a treat. Costco just stocked the tasty tropical version of the whipped frozen dessert.
Why is Dole Whip so popular? The 3.6-ounce guava passion cups are light, airy, and dairy-free.
Russet House Organic Sweet Potato Fries
Price: $8.99
Switch things up and swap plain French fries for this sweet potato selection. The frozen find doesn't contain added sugar, trans fat, or cholesterol, making it a healthier alternative to fast food.
Here's a helpful hint: Instead of deep-frying this pick, use an air fryer for a light, crispy texture.
Sabastasso's Gluten-Free Four Cheese Pizza
Price: $16.99
No gluten? No problem. You don't have to waste money at an overpriced specialty store. This gluten-free pizza has a light, crispy crust and decadently dreamy four-cheese blend (mozzarella, fontina, parmesan, and asiago).
Get three of the pies for under $17. In comparison, a single takeout Gluten-Free Traditional Cheese Pizza costs over $21 at California Pizza Kitchen.
Kirkland Signature Premium Vanilla Ice Cream
Price: $12.99
Satisfy your sweet tooth without splurging on a fancy brand-name buy. For under $13, Costco's gallon-size bulk buy of generic Kirkland Signature vanilla ice cream is more than just a good value. Target sells a 48-ounce tub from Tillamook for $5.99. At that price, you would pay more than $34 for the warehouse club's quantity.
Red's Egg 'Wich
Price: $14.99
Breakfast just got better, easier, and more affordable. We spotted this box of eight microwavable chicken sausage sandwiches for less than $15.
If you're counting carbs, this protein-rich pick (15 grams per serving). But that's not all. Instead of bread, these sammies contain cage-free egg patties.
Bottom line
Frozen foods combine convenience with affordability. And at Costco, you can nab bulk bargains (like our 14 favorites) that won't break the bank.
Are you looking for more ways to save money on groceries this May? We've got an easy-to-follow tip: Choose generics — Costco's Kirkland Signature line features deals on dupes that taste almost identical to the brand-name versions.
