Cheapest Costco prepared meal costs shockingly little per serving: 'Can't beat the price'
Costco shoppers aiming to stretch their dollars may want to take a closer look at the club's prepared meals. A new report from the food site Tasting Table estimated which Kirkland Signature deli favorites cost the most and least per serving. The outlet estimated the cost per serving using Denver-area prices, estimated package weights and the serving sizes listed on nutrition labels.
Based on those estimates, Costco's Kirkland Signature Mac and Cheese offered the lowest estimated cost per serving, the outlet found — while the Kirkland Signature Rotisserie Chicken Asian Wrap with Dressing ranked as the most expensive among the meals it analyzed. A tray of the mac and cheese costs about $4.
