Costco sells a lot of affordable foods that you can quickly pack for work or use for meal prepping.
The wholesale retailer has a wide variety of loaves of bread and cold cuts.
You can also buy large packs of frozen burritos or salads for under $12.

Oftentimes bringing a packed lunch is cheaper than dining out — and if you're looking to plan ahead you may want to head to Costco.

The wholesale retailer is known for offering lower prices when you buy in bulk, which makes it a great place to find dishes you can prep ahead or pack for work or school.

Here are 10 of the best lunch items Costco has to offer.

Note: Prices are based on what I found at my local Costco in Long Island, New York, and they may differ from location to location.
