$235 bought me more than 90 meals at less than $2.60 per meal with no cooking

I'm disabled which makes cooking tough. Here is my every other month food shopping at Costco in San Jose CA. I already have cereal from last month.

@carolee Costco Business Center has more pre-made food packed and frozen in bulk if you want more variety in your life.

@richard334 Kinda far from my house but thanks for the tip. Might take the drive next month.

 

[richard334]

@carolee There arent rotisserie chickens or food courts there, but I found better food deals over all.

 

[daisydoodle78]

@richard334 good to know thanks

@carolee How does this get you 90 meals?

 

[carolee]

@elizabethc I counted

@carolee This response is awesome.

@carolee That's maybe a week for me. Maybe but I'm very tall and work out alot .... still

 

[carolee]

@24marco Breakfast: One yogurt and either A: A handfull of cashews and apple/banana or B: Jimmy Dead breakfast sandwich (20 yogurts per case, 2 bags of cashews that will be part of 40+ meals, Jimmy Dean breakfast 12 pack) = at least 20 breakfast meals (will run out of yogurt first)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich or Raybern's Philly Cheese steak + pork jerky (3 packs of lunchmeat @ 5 sandwichs per, or 2x 6 pack of Rayberns sandwichs (12) + pork jerkey (3 packs for those 12 servings) = 27 meals

Dinner: 2x Frozen Lasagna double packs (4 packs) @ 4 servings per pack = 16 meals or 2x Rotissere chicken = 8+ meals or 2 amy burritos = 4 meals = 28 meals

I have cereal to mix with the Silk Oat milk for another 15+ meals and some Orange Juice.

@carolee Nice plan. Beans, rice, potatoes and frozen veg r my go to for saving and very healthy. I can't take these prices no more. It hurts

 

[elizabethc]

@carolee I was looking for some detail on your daily food intake but thanks anyway

 

[mohit0707]

@richard334 Can you get in with a regular costco membership?

 

[richard334]

@mohit0707 Yep! If you buy chicken by the case is often less than a dollar a pound but the whole case is huge!

 

[revmarkkie]

@richard334 Might be worth checking on Nextdoor if any neighbors want to go in on such a cost, maybe someone with a car but no membership would be willing to split a case and provide the transit.

 

[monicac]

@richard334 How many pounds?

 

[burns7272]
