These Are the 5 Frozen Foods Our Editors Never Leave Costco Without

Introduction

Costco is a treasure trove of products, but with the warehouse’s vast selection and constant samples, it’s easy to get distracted and overlook some great items. Fortunately, our team of editors at EatingWell are frequent Costco shoppers who have identified some must-have frozen foods that you won’t want to miss.

Bibigo Vegetable Spring Rolls

If you’re looking for a quick appetizer or snack, consider keeping a box of Bibigo’s Vegetable Spring Rolls in your freezer. Our associate editorial director, Carolyn Malcoun, first discovered these spring rolls on sale a few years ago and now always has a box on hand. Each spring roll features a mix of jicama, edamame, carrot, cabbage, and sweet potato. You can cook them in the air fryer or oven, and they come with a soy-ginger sauce for dipping. These savory spring rolls are a hit with vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Bibigo Steamed Dumplings

Another Bibigo product that our editors swear by is their steamed dumplings. Our number one frozen food to buy at Costco, these dumplings are a convenient and satisfying option for a quick lunch or dinner. Each tray includes six dumplings, featuring a filling made from chicken, cabbage, and mushrooms. Simply pop the tray in the microwave and cook for two minutes, and you’re ready to go.

Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend

Kirkland Signature’s Three Berry Blend is a staple in many of our editors’ freezers. This 4-pound bag of mixed berries is an incredible value and lasts for at least a month. Our nutrition editor, Jessica Ball, M.S., RD, uses the berries in her smoothies or overnight oats and loves the mix of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Try the berries in our Triple-Berry Blended Oats recipe.

Kirkland Signature Frozen Fish

Having frozen fish on hand is a game-changer for many of our editors. Our associate editorial director, Carolyn Malcoun, keeps two varieties of Kirkland Signature frozen fish in her freezer: Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and Wild Caught Atlantic Cod Loins. Both come individually portioned, making it easy to grab and thaw just what you need for dinner. Use the salmon in our Sheet-Pan Roasted Salmon & Vegetables or Salmon with Smoky Mayo & Quinoa Pilaf, or use the cod in our Lemon-Garlic Baked Cod or Crispy Cod with Charred Snow Peas & Creamy Herb Sauce.

Kirkland Signature Stir-Fry Vegetable Blend

Finally, our News, Trending & Updates Editor, Abigail Abesamis Demarest, recommends Kirkland Signature’s Stir-Fry Vegetable Blend as a convenient and healthy side dish. This blend contains a medley of broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, yellow and orange carrots, mushrooms, red bell peppers, water chestnuts, and onions. Simply cook the vegetables in the microwave or oven and add your favorite sauce. Abesamis Demarest likes to add soy sauce and sesame oil for a savory flavor.

Conclusion

These five frozen foods are must-haves for our editors at EatingWell, and we hope they’ll become staples in your freezer as well.

Whether you’re a busy professional or a busy parent, having these frozen foods on hand can help make mealtime easier and more enjoyable.
