I use my Costco executive membership to pick up easy meal options for my household of two.
The Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken makes its way into my cart on almost every Costco trip.

Despite not having a large family to feed, I've been shopping at Costco for more than 20 years. I pay $120 annually for an executive membership, which comes with a 2% reward of up to $1,000 on qualified Costco purchases.

Like many of Costco's over 129 million members, I look for groceries that provide great value. My wife is a teacher, and I work from home, so we're not always able to make a meal from scratch on busy days. That's why having some easily prepared options is essential.

Here are some of my favorite easy meals to get at Costco.

Prices may vary by location.
