Costco has some legit decent prepared food. It's not going to blow your socks off, but it's better than some restaurants.

My wife goes during work hours on a weekday as it's much less crowded. We don't go there on weekends. Way too crowded.

Yeah, wish that were true here. It's just a 24/7 zoo. Or whatever it's hours are.
They tried to build another in the area, but couldn't for zoning or something.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Crazy.
We have two here. Coincidentally, my co-worker just told me his wife had him running an errand there for lunch today.

1. I've been in Costcos in other cities. goddam I wouldn't have a membership if my local ones were like that. The two in Toledo will be crazy for about 2 days around Thanksgiving and xmas, but otherwis just flirt with various levels of "kinda busy."
2. The rotisserie chicken, if done properly, can feed you for a week on $5. Two-Four full servings of white meat, then boil the shit out of the carcass and you have a gallon of broth. You'll have to supplement with cheap rice or beans, but the protein and flavor is there on the cheap.

The "jumbo" meatballs.

My kid loved giant meatballs, the restaurant "Max & Erma's" had one that he liked, then they went out of business. Probably because the meatballs were so huge.
But I saw these at Costco, and got them for the kid because he was home on spring break.
1. They are priced by the pound, so the price on the wall doesn't shock you. It's like $8/pound. The package is 3 pounds.
2. So you assume you're getting three pounds of meatballs, so ok, that's not a bad deal. But no. You're getting about 1 pound of 7-8 meatballs, and the rest is a crappy red sauce that smelled like a fresh can of Chef-Boy-Are-Dee. Meaning, not good.
3. The meatballs themselves are not "jumbo." When I make them homemade, I would call those on the high side of medium sized.
So absolutely skip these. The fact it's mostly sauce being sold by weight makes it one of the worse deals I've ever seen at Costco.
