Costco's Steak Dinner Deal May Not Be Worth It. Here's Why
By Stacie Adams
The combination of steak and potatoes is a down-home, hearty meal sure to satisfy even the most famished person in your family. That's probably why Costco thought it was a stellar idea to offer a prepackaged meal consisting of New York steak and creamer potatoes.
While you can't beat it when it comes to convenience, the price of this dinner option is a little off-putting. With a unit price of $10.99 per pound, some packages can cost more than $40 and only feed two to three people.
Purchasing the items individually would save you way more money, since some Costco locations offer six 6-ounce frozen top sirloin steaks for $25.99 and some spuds for $1 to $2 per pound. That means you can afford an entire meal for your family for less than what Costco's prepackaged option goes for, making it another item to avoid in order to keep under budget.
