If you want to skip the prep work of making your own salad at home, pick up this Cobb salad kit from Sam’s Club complete with chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and more toppings. 

The salad is $5.28 per pound, so prices will vary, but you’ll get nine servings per container, meaning each serving will be a little over a dollar.

Don Miguel Chicken and Cheese Mini Tacos

Price: $11.98

Just throw these mini tacos in the oven, and you’ve got a delicious, low-cost meal. Packed full of chicken, corn salsa, and Monterrey Jack cheese, they’re perfect as-is or as the base layer for your own delicious taco creation. 

You’ll get 60 tacos between the two packages, working out to 20 cents per taco.

Stouffer’s Signature Lasagna with Meat Sauce

Price: $14.98

It’s hard to beat a Stouffer's lasagna's saucy, cheesy, meaty goodness, especially for just $14.98. The frozen lasagna contains 12 servings, which means it’s $1.25 per meal — or $2.50 if you want seconds. 

That’s about half of what you’d pay for a family-size Stouffer’s lasagna at Target, which is $2.20 per serving.

Member’s Mark Pork Carnitas

pork carnitas

Price: $13.98

The Sam’s Club in-house brand, Member’s Mark, offers some of the most creative, delicious prepackaged meals in the store, like this premade pork carnitas. 

The two-pound container of tender, shredded pork is a crowd favorite among Sam’s Club shoppers. “The meat is tender, flavorful, and has just enough fat to keep it moist when reheating,” one reviewer says.

Grab a stack of tortillas, and you’ll have 11 servings of flavorful pork tacos for under $20.

Member’s Mark Pulled Pork

Price: $10.98

Slow-cooking pulled pork yourself can be very time-consuming, so this Member’s Mark pulled pork is an easy shortcut. 

The two-pound container holds 11 servings, which works out to just about a dollar per serving, which is much cheaper than Target’s three-serving Good & Gather pulled pork, which has three servings for $7.99.

Pile it on a bun to make a sandwich or top homemade nachos with the smokey pulled pork for a cheap meal the whole family will love.

Member’s Mark Sundried Tomato Chicken Wraps

Price: $8.45

These precut wraps make the perfect no-fuss lunch — no assembly required. It’s priced per pound, so the cost will vary, but you’ll likely pay under $9 for 10 nutritious, ready-to-eat wraps.

If you’re wondering whether it would be cheaper to make the wraps yourself, think again. A pack of Member’s Mark sliced chicken breast alone will cost you more than the wraps at $8.87.

Member’s Mark Poblano Queso Chicken

Price: $14.96

These chicken breasts cooked in a cheesy roasted poblano sauce are ready to heat, and they're gluten-free.

The 32-ounce container can feed six people, breaking down to $2.49 per plate. “Add a couple of packs of 90-second rice, and you have a restaurant-quality meal that could easily feed eight!” one reviewer says.

Barber Foods Broccoli and Cheese Raw Stuffed Chicken Breasts

These lightly breaded, boneless chicken breasts are stuffed with cheesy broccoli for the perfect protein and vegetable combination — no ingredient prep required. 

With six portions for $12.98, you’ll pay just $2.16 per meal. In comparison, the same dinner would cost $5 for two servings at Safeway.

Member’s Mark Seasoned Angus Beef Bites

Price: $15.42

Instead of taking the time to season and cook the beef yourself, serve these herby Angus beef bites with a side for a classic, hearty meal on a budget. 

The tender, bite-sized beef is slow-cooked and topped with a herb garlic compound butter, saving you money and time on a delicious dinner. You can’t beat the price of $1.93 per plate.

If you’re not in the mood for a plain Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken — the ultimate cheap meal — then these rotisserie chicken enchiladas are a tasty alternative. 

They come already assembled and ready to pop in the oven for just $2.22 per serving. Even Stouffer’s frozen enchiladas sold at Target can’t beat that at $2.62 per serving.

Member’s Mark Shrimp Scampi

Price: $14.44

Pour this buttery shrimp scampi over pasta and veggies, or serve on its own for a delicious, low-cost seafood dinner. 

For $14.44, you get two one-pound bags with enough food to feed eight people. And it’s only 52 cents more than a bag of plain frozen jumbo shrimp without the prep work.

Member’s Mark Chicken Taco Kit

Price: $13.97

We love this taco kit because it’s an easy way to have a DIY taco night and offers the ability to customize your tacos with additional sauces or toppings. 

Just open the box up and start assembling your shredded chicken, slaw, cheese, salsa, and delicious cilantro-lime crema. 

Top with fresh lime, and these tacos are cheaper per serving than most premade taco kits you’ll find in other grocery stores, from Safeway to Sprouts.

Zatarain’s Blackened Chicken Alfredo

Price: $14.78

This delicious New Orleans-style dinner will look and smell like a homemade meal, from the blackened white meat chicken mixed to the perfectly al dente penne pasta and zesty cheese sauce. 

However, you’ll be paying just $1.85 per serving for the pasta dish instead of the $3 per serving you would pay for Target’s Good & Gather chicken alfredo.

Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pies

Price: $12.98

Chicken pot pie is one of the coziest meals around, and there’s no need to make it from scratch with these personal pies packed with 17 grams of protein. 

From the crispy, flaky pie shell to the tender white meat and mixed veggie filling, this is comfort food on a budget. You’ll get eight for $12.98 or $1.62 per serving, which is $1.15 less than a single pot pie from Walmart.

Red Baron French Bread Pepperoni Pizza

Price: $10.98 (on sale from $12.98)

For family pizza night, pick up a box of these crusty, pepperoni-topped French bread pizzas that come in personal-sized portions. 

They’re individually wrapped, and you’ll get nine for the current sale price of $10.98, which is just $1.22 per pie. “I love the flavor of the sauce and the bread has a great crunch to the outside yet tender inside,” one reviewer says.

Bottom Line
