Let’s go to Costco babe today I’m going to be taste testing every single pre-made meal from Costco to let you guys know which ones are the best and spoiler alert I’m also taste testing this pre-made meal let me just tell you the food that I brought to this house is

Enough to feed an entire generation it is insane how much food you get for the price that you get at Costco for some of these pre-made meals we’re in a recession and we need bang for buck let’s jump into the snacks all right I’m going to start with with Costco’s chili

This is bigger maybe not bigger than my head because most things aren this is a very very big head but it’s pretty substantial the lady who was checking me out at Costco was like this is my sister’s favorite chili of all time I’m like okay well high expectations High

Bar what do you expect from Costco Costco has like the best reputation in all the land I feel like other than the fact that maybe they might have some of that fake lab grown meat coming I don’t get into conspiracy theories but maybe other than that what is the bad thing

That Costco has done you know if there is a bad thing don’t tell me cuz I need to live in ignorance cuz everything else is ruined thanks to tick tock all of these meals that I bought by the way you do mostly need to heat up for like an

Hour in the oven so chili is one of those things that will sneak up on you you got to be extra cautious it’s the mom and me it’s the mom haircut talking that is so good oh my gosh I’m going in for more I’m going in for more

This is going to be a double bite day I can just feel it in my bones y whatever that recipe is that Costco uses to make this chili must have been historically the first recipe of any chili ever made it has that good bones to it it’s thick it’s beefy it’s cheesy

It’s spicy but not hot gosh it’s like everything I hoped I could be in my own existence may we all strive to be as good at our life as this chili is being a chili these mashed potatoes look decadent they look better than like mashed potatoes I seen at fancy AF

Restaurants I’m very passionate about the presentation of this this is not if you told me this came from Costco I would never believe it it just looks to homemade Gourmet premium so that entire Sasquatch size container cost me $122 and 15 just like any decent food taste

Deser I’m going to eat straight out of of the container because you know what it’s my my company and my job and I get to put the rules into place I am not cooking for Thanksgiving this year this is so delicious oh my if you have a potluck or something this

Year like a friends giving and you got to show up with something go to Costco this SM these are so good I need wine to wash that someone just turned out the lights in heaven hello don’t abandon this now Lord I will say the bacon is

Very heavy if you’re not into bacon I’ve kind of been not friends with bacon recently we’ve had like a little bit of a falling out that’s another story for another day but the flavor B oh this these two what is this wine French so I can’t tell tell what it’s called it’s

This one screen grabbit $13 if I’m not mistaken 10 out of 10 recommend all right next up are Costco’s Beef stuffed bell peppers and I have to be real with you I got all of this stuff yesterday and we already ate half of it I told

Matt there was way too much food for us not to eat it for dinner last night I didn’t want it to go to waste and also these look so freaking beautiful this is not a good representation right like this is what I look like first thing in

The morning when I wake up out of bed but let me just tell you yesterday the presentation was on point to the point where I couldn’t say no also how cute are these plates my neighbor made them by hand she’s incredible I’ll link her down below if you’d like to buy yourself

Some homemade ceramic dish wear any who speaking of who I feel like I look like Cindy luhoo with this hair I can’t tell if I look like a Ken or like a cool jenzer maybe I’m not na nailing either all right let’s give it a try again I already have this but eating

That right now feels like it was the first time it was still so so good I can’t get over how balanced everything is it does have beef and rice and seasoning and all that and then the the pepper on the outside I’m a person who doesn’t really love Peppers as much but

The way this is prepared the balance is so good I feel like it’s very hearty I could eat one bell pepper and feel full like there’s a lot of girth to it which we love it’s not as good as the chili in my opinion but they’re like neck and

Neck can’t do that too hard cuz I think I might have broken my wrists or my hands still so we’re still waiting to find out from the doctor but I’m over that cast it’s so annoying so here we are I’m a rebel you know what I mean

Drinking wine at 10: a.m. and not taking care of myself welcome to the channel subscribe if you’re new thumbs up this video if you’re also a rebel next up is this giant tub of mac and cheese I’ve already carved out a decent dissection section again this could be used to

Defend yourself and it has that oh that pungent Aroma of fancy mac and cheese so ooh it’s very aesthetic oh and they have those big thick pasta noodle things which I love huh I think that deserves another second bite you know it could use some salt and

Pepper there’s a lot of cheese there it does taste special and elevated I don’t know if I would say it’s the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had but it’s certainly not I mean I’d eat that whole pan if I could mac and cheese for me I

Just expect so much right my brain goes to like magical unicorn land places with what I’m going to experience and then often times with mac and cheese I eat it and it just never lives up to the mental hype that I’ve built up for myself so I think it’s my own psychological issue

That I have but I think it’s definitely like an eight or nine out of 10 let’s get into this chicken alfredo she’s not reading on camera as delicious she’s got really more of a face for radio for 18 bucks for like a special dinner or something I think it’s worth it and I

Also feel like if you have a chicken alfredo they just increase the cost just because it feels fancy you know I don’t like it I don’t know why I don’t something’s off doesn’t something tastes like like not real I don’t know there’s like a weird aftertaste that tastes I don’t

Know the way Barbie smells that’s such a strange such a strange descriptor but there’s like um a weird what is it have you guys had this before what is that all right they also have kind of grab and go type meals as well this is like a chicken croissant sandwich with a salad

And again very generous on the portion sizes we’ve got cheese there’s a lot of meat like a lot this is so good it tastes like a middle School field trip where they give you the pre-prepared meals I think this is prevalon very good prestin everything’s Crispy Crunchy fresh all

Right let’s go into the Caesar salad huh very very good usually Caesars can go really fishy and ancho ve it’s very good it’s just a diff it wasn’t what I was expecting moving into another kind of grab and go option if you’re not into Chicken on croissants maybe chicken

On a sprouted grain bread would be more of your fancy F bread is nice it look looks like a cracker but feels like a panini and we have cheddar on this one versus provolone on the other I think this is that seizure again with the lemon oh this is hard I don’t

Know which sandwich I like better I feel like they’re both very very good and they taste signature in their own way let’s talk about this other giant soup option this is a chicken noodle soup this whole thing cost $13 I’d say very much worth it there’s a lot of chicken

In there when you are sick everybody’s like go eat some chicken noodle soup but at that point you can’t like homem make chicken noodle soup if you live in an apartment by yourself all you can do is go buy it from somewhere and this is much healthier and much probably tastier than

Canned pretty good I think you could again use a little bit more seasoning could be a little saltier the broth is a little thicker a little bit more creamier without dairy I don’t think there’s dairy in here but it has that like thickness to it which is nice the

Smell is weird to me I don’t like the way it smells but I love the way it tastes so it’s a little confusing a little Jackel and hide let’s talk about this Taco kit let’s talk about it so the kit comes with everything you need for

Many tacos I bet you’d like maybe 10 or 12 tacos the meat is already seasoned ready to go all you have to do is throw it in the pan and heat it up so I’ve went ahead and put some cheese some lettuce on my taco and it comes with two

Sauces one is like a salsa and this one is a cilantro lime cream sauce I don’t love cilantro but this looks so decadent and delicious it actually smells like a ranch to me which is makes me more confident to try it even though I can’t stand cilantro so let’s just do a little

Seems like a lot actually let’s try it I hate cilantro so much it tastes like perfume let’s try it with the salsa I think this is going to be better all cilantro issues aside I was a pretty good bite I have to say the chicken is very well

Flavored I feel like there’s so much good I feel like the seasoning in the chicken is so good it’s a little spicy a little kick to it lots of like smoked flavors but the sauce is just kind of like poo poo on the party it’s not they

Don’t Elevate the flavors at all I almost feel like I’d like this if it was just dry without sauce similar to the build your own taco Costco also has a build your own Euro box and I’ve heated this up they tell you in the instructions to kind of heat this stuff

Over the stove top you guys there’s like taziki sauce veggies cucumbers like everything you could want in a delicious Mediterranean snack yum that is surprisingly delicious there’s a lot of flavor the taziki sauce is really kind of like a seven out of 10 but the freshness of all the toppings

And the meat is just so good and the crispiness of that PE is delicious and there’s lots of flavor this is phenomenal okay A little price here a little price here it’s $20 but this is very very good better than the taco kit I still have more to go if you can

Imagine perhaps the most famous item on this food list of mine is the Kirkland’s roasted chicken when I was at Costco yesterday I saw women grabbing this roasted chicken like it was a Black Friday Free TV deal I was punched in the face one time during a Black Friday

Chaotic moment over a toaster I just happened to be in the way and they got they like elbowed me in the face but that was the vibe I was getting from the roasted chickens I’m like oh crap I need to get in here and get out of here as

Fast as possible but people were buying these in bulk and the fandom is real let’s try it very good I am not going to say that is the best roasted chicken I’ve ever had I was kind of expecting that the way people were acting like oh my gosh this

Is I’ve HTE gold I mean I couldn’t make a chicken breast this good On My Own by myself so I totally understand why you would go and buy it pre-done because it’s just so much easier I’m going to give that a 7 out of 10 maybe my expectations were too high maybe the

Women yesterday threw me off but I expected something a little bit more mind-blowing than that I think if you put it into something else I think it would be good I just don’t get the hype so I just pulled this meatloaf straight out of the oven so it’s hot piping and

Ready for exploration I have mixed feelings about meatloaf because I always liked meatloaf and I never understood why people didn’t like it until I realized that it’s mostly just bread and ketchup that feels kind of gross doesn’t it but I’ve always liked it so maybe I’m

Just a bread and ketchup kind of but this meatloaf tray comes with its own mashed potatoes offering my one issue is that I was asked to heat this up in this tray and this tray is made of some type of plastic material that I’m sure

They’re going to tell me is safe for the oven blah blah blah but that always worries me because I feel like 20 years from now we’re going to read an article where we find out that like everything we knew was a lie let’s just give it a shot let’s try the meatloaf first

Oh I had to spit that bite out because I got a big glob of ketchup on it it was so sweet it was good it was going in a great Direction and then like a lot of my past relationships just took a woo slight crazy turn I have to tell you

That’s very good I just had like a weird bite so I’m going to kind of wash it down with the mashed potatoes good good M why like cuz there aren there’s no bacon in here so it’s really more of a pure mashed potato flavor and very good very balanced very

Buttery we love all of that when it comes to our tators okay I think this is delicious you got to make sure you get the right kind of meat to loaf to ketchup balance to make sure you don’t get overwhelmed with sweetness I would

Give this a 10 out of 10 if it didn’t come in a plastic tray now this would not even even be a proper taste test without a dessert option Costco has a Labyrinth of delicious pastries pies like literally pies that are bigger than my torso cakes tius mooses or moose

Moose anyway they also have a cheesecake and I went over there and I was like this could be an entire video by itself but I wanted to just dabble a little bit so if you like this video and you want to see me try all of Costco’s dessert

Let me know in the comments thumbs up this video to let me know you like it I feel like I I might cry this is the most delicious thing I’ve ever had hold let me take another bite and make sure I’m not hallucinating oh my gosh this is a

Lifechanging food moment for me everything in this video was delicious for the most part this deserves its own video so creamy so light so fluffy fresh it’s not dense you know some cheesecake can be like really thick it is it is thick but it’s like really puffy thick

It’s like the Michelin Man like marshmallowy thick and it’s it’s got like a nice sweetness to it but it’s not like crazy super super sweet but it oh my gosh it tastes so good the last thing is a fruit tray and I felt like I needed

To buy it just because it was a part of the deli section and there’s a lot of delicious stuff here I’m not going to try it all but I am going to take a little assortment to see if like cheese is good and the berries are fresh first

Of all this whole tray is $18 you know not the cheapest cheese tray of all time but I I will say you get a lot of stuffff here a lot of different Fruits I don’t know what that is it’s really good it’s like a soft light cheese let’s grab a grape I have to be careful with these cuz they’re very toxic to dogs even one grape can like take them out so oh did you hear that crunch delicious let’s see the

Strawberries are a little soft very good these are the top 10 best pre-made food items you can buy from Costco and let me just say items that you should should buy because they’re great values great portion sizes and I love all of these starting at number 10 we have the fruit

And cheese tray coming in at number nine macaroni and cheese I thought it would be positioned higher but it’s still a great go-to if you have like a party or friendsgiving next is the roasted chicken again I feel like I was a little Bamboozled out there on the Tik Tock

Streets of America telling me that they’re the best ever but still very good coming in next is the Euro box next is the grain Deli bread chicken sandwich I think it’s a little bit better than the croissant chicken sandwich coming in next are mashed potatoes coming in next

Surprisingly even though I I did spit it out but you guys understood the caveat there is the meatloaf option coming in in the third spot which is means it’s very very very good are the bell peppers so balanced so delicious and the second spot is the chili that lady at Costco

Did not steer me astray the number one best thing that you can buy at Costco the cheesecake I can’t even say it I should sing about it that’s how good it is do you want to see me taste test everything from the Costco pastry section also thumbs up this video

  1. Yeeeesss do try the iCisstco pastries INCLUDING the WONDERFUL brownies let me teelllll you tho I may be a little bit biyest bc brownies are MY FAAAAVV dessert you must try the Costco brownies they're just warm soft gooey and fresh tasting and it's funny bc I do NOTT care for brownies from most places but if I did have a Costco membership I most likely would be in big trouble not just bc of those but I mean all the good food items that they have their and only had the chance to try them ONCE bc someone brought for a birthday and let me just WOOOW

  2. Best meatloaf ever:
    2 lbs hamburger
    1 jar pace pecante sauce
    2 eggs
    Mix together and put in oven at 350 for 50 minutes- an hour.
    Do not put ketchup on the top, that's blasphemy ❤

  3. The way Erin was holding the whole chicken soup by the lid with her fingers….😬😬😬😱
    I was just waiting for the lid to pop off and spill all over the floor. 🫣

  4. At least if people complain about your tree still being up say well we decided to decorate early this year. Another of youtubers have already started decorating for Christmas. I like your review to costco meals.

  5. I do like the rotisserie chickens. I do think they are so popular because 1. They are a good deal. Larger than grocery store rotisseries and cheap! And 2. Delicious and very versatile. I can make several meals/recipes from one chicken.

  6. Yes! New subbie here. I loved this and would love to see the sweets. And maybe a third video featuring some of the hyped up and/or new frozen foods.

  7. I meal prep with those bell peppers! So good! The chicken Alfredo has a weird aftertaste to me too, I think it may be the fresh parsley on top. I'm a big fan of the chicken stir fry too, it has veggies and noodles with it.

  8. I got shoved by an old lady for a black Friday vacuum. I snagged that vacuum when my husband (then boyfriend) started reprimanding her about assaulting his girlfriend. That $35 vacuum has been chugging along strong with us for the last 15 years

  9. Love this video! It's also funny because our family LOVES the tacos, meatloaf and chicken soup and we will never rebuy the stuffed peppers or chicken alfredo 😆

  10. Oh sweet girl, I have not seen you since the pandemic. I have not seen you come up on my algorithm in a long time. My family loves some of the Costco prepared meals…but we don't have all the wonderful things you have here in the US.

  11. Are these prepared meals regional? Most of what you showed isnt available at the Costco locations where I live (Hawaii).
    Then again, Costco Hawaii stores have in-store, standalone Poke and Sushi counters; unsure if that’s available anywhere else.
    Loved the food you tested.

  12. Between 4-14% of the population has a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. That may be why you don’t like it

  13. Girl, Tres-leches cake! Cheesecake, and other cakes would be good. But sometimes, you just gotta slow down.

  14. I think people love the rotisserie chicken, because the price is unbelievable. every time I’ve gone to every other grocery store it’s $7.99 and up

  15. I totally agree with you about the chicken alfredo. There is a really strange taste to the sauce. We didn't like it all. However, we love the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, such a great, easy dinner!

  16. Is it possible anymore for anyone to make a video without endless cuts and lame attempts at sounding funny and clever???
