One of the best-known items at Costco is the rotisserie chicken in the deli section.

For $4.99, you can serve the chicken on its own for dinner. Alternatively, you can pull it apart to use as a main ingredient for shredded barbecue chicken or chicken salad.

Check out the refrigerated section for a side dish like Main St. Bistro All Natural Mashed Potatoes, just $9.94 for two 32-ounce packages.

The garlic butter shrimp comes in a pack of two 1-pound containers for $18.65, or $9.32 per package. You can also add pasta or vegetables and make a complete meal.

Chili is a delicious option for any night of the week. Check out the Kirkland Signature Beef Chili, which comes in at $4.96 per pound or about $20.21 per container.

That amount of chili should easily feed a family of four, giving you extra room for crackers or add-ins like extra onions.

Get a delicious meal that's also easy to make with Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pies.
