A light, flaky crust and sumptuously creamy egg custard make these tarts a fan favorite.

Pass on pricey restaurant hot pot meals and make your own at home with this frozen foodie find. The 16-ounce pack of Certified Angus Beef is a popular choice among Costco shoppers. Redditor Mr_Beast commented, “Just tried it tonight for some bibimbop, and personally, I liked it. The shabu-shabu beef they have in the meat section is cut too thick, and this was a better price than the frozen rolls of meat we get at the local Asian market for hot pot normally.”

Price: $16.99

Your family will think you ordered takeout — but this frozen fish costs less than a catered meal. The 1.75-pound box of herbed brown butter-coated, almond panko-crusted Steelhead is a deal for under $17. Get five individually wrapped vacuum-packed pieces of trout.

Fans of Realgood’s plain frozen breaded chicken will enjoy this subtly spiced flavor. With 23 grams of protein, only one gram of sugar, and three grams of net carbs per serving, this is a healthier (and less expensive) alternative to restaurant meals.

The three-pound bag is a bargain compared to other Realgoods products. This Costco deal equals $0.29 per ounce, while Target’s per-ounce price for the brand’s low-carb chicken nuggets is $0.40.

Price: $11.39

Tired of takeout prices? Instead of ordering in, microwave a pouch of this shrimp fried rice for a quick, convenient, and tasty meal in minutes. The 3.05-pound box includes six easy-open pouches of stir-fried rice, shrimp, carrot, egg, edamame, and red bell pepper mix.

Price: $13.79

Add the three-pound pack of tender pork dumplings to your favorite soup recipe, or steam the preservative-free bao and serve them with a spicy dipping sauce.
