Meal prepping can save the average individual roughly $2,600 per year, or more than $216 per month, according to SweatEthic.com. It also saves time and, if you choose your foods carefully, can help you eat healthier.
Costco is known for selling tasty bulk items, making it a meal-preppers paradise.
Wild Alaska Coho Salmon
- Price: $199 for 10 lbs.
Salmon is a heart-healthy protein that you can add to a salad or stir fry, or serve as a main course with a quick salad. This Coho salmon is individually packaged in 6 – 8 oz. portions, but you may be able to save even more money if you purchase whole filets that you can slice into portions at your local club.
Royal Basmati Rice
- Price: $25
Rice is a versatile food you can use to stretch any meal. Get 20 lbs. of Royal Basmati Rice from Costco for just $25. Toss it in your rice cooker to prep sides for days. This premium quality rice has a low glycemic index, which means you can eat a bit healthier even if you only have minutes, not hours, to get dinner on the table.
Dash Egg Cooker
- Price: $18.99
Hard-boiled eggs make a quick grab-and-go breakfast or can be added to salads for a protein-rich lunch. The Dash 17-piece All-in-One Egg Cooker is a necessity for any meal-prepping household. You can boil or poach eggs in minutes, and even use the system to steam vegetables.
Cambro Food Storage Containers
- Price: Prices Vary
You can’t meal prep without freezer-safe storage solutions. Cambro offers a variety of storage containers in different shapes and sizes. The 4-quart and 2-quart round packages are perfect for soups, stews, and sauces.Â
Rotisserie Chicken
- Price: $4.99
Why pay more for a chicken you have to cook yourself, when you can grab a Costco Rotisserie Chicken, still only $4.99, and add it to any meal? Prep chicken soup, chicken salad, potpie and more, all with meat from your rotisserie chicken.
And on those days when you’ve run out of prepped meals and have no time to cook? Costco’s rotisserie chicken and a quick salad save the day!
