From croissant sandwiches to French toast, don’t let summer end without stocking up on these six frozen meals for under $20 at Costco.
Smuckers Uncrustables
The kids will be back in school sooner than you think and if you want to have a quick lunch on hand on busy days, buying a box of Smucker’s Uncrustables is a great idea.
Each box contains 18 large soft bread sandwiches, which works out to about 88 cents per Uncrustable. And if the peanut butter and grape jelly flavor pictured above isn’t a hit in your household, Costco also sells the strawberry jam Uncrustables for the same price.

Each individually wrapped croissant sandwich features sausage, free-range eggs and cheese and can be quickly reheated in the microwave and enjoyed. With 18 croissant sandwiches in each box, the amount Costco members pay is about 92 cents each.

Kellogg’s Homestyle Eggo Waffles
Whether you need to buy breakfast foods in bulk for your college student or stock up on waffles for the family, don’t leave Costco without picking up a box of 72-count homemade Eggo waffles.
How much more money does a Costco member save by purchasing Eggo waffles at Costco versus a wholesaler? Target, for example, sells Eggo waffles in packs of 24 for the regular price of $6.99. To get 72 waffles, you would have to buy three packs at Target and spend $20.97: almost $7 more than at Costco.
Farm Rich French Toast Sticks
Add variety to your breakfast plans by purchasing a box of Farm Rich French Toast Sticks at Sam’s Club.
At 48 ounces per box, Costco members get a lot for their money and save money compared to shopping at other supermarkets. Farm Rich French Toast Sticks, sold at Smart & Final in the same 48-ounce size, cost $13.99, according to Instacart.

It’s also a reasonably priced lunch option compared to the cost of eating out. With 15 sandwiches in each box, Costco members pay about 98 cents each.
Kirkland Signature Cheese Pizza
Who can resist leaving Costco without pizza? While there are several types of pizza available for purchase in the frozen food section, the Kirkland Signature Cheese Pizza is one of the most affordable offerings.
There are four cheese pizzas in each box, meaning each one costs about $3.15. Compared to the cost of takeout pizza, it’s a no-brainer to stock up for inexpensive, stress-free dinners.
