Introduction
Costco is known for its great deals on bulk items, but it seems that their steak dinner kit is not living up to the hype. Many shoppers have taken to social media to express their disappointment with the kit, claiming that it is not a good deal. In this article, we will explore why shoppers are not satisfied with the steak dinner kit and what alternatives they are considering. We will also look at what Costco has to say about the kit and how they are responding to the criticism.
Shoppers Say Costco’s Steak Dinner Kit Is “Not a Good Deal”
Costco shoppers have recently been voicing their disappointment with the store’s steak dinner kit, claiming that it is not a good deal. The kit, which includes two ribeye steaks, two potatoes, and two vegetables, is priced at $19.99. While this may seem like a good deal, shoppers have been saying that the quality of the steaks is not up to par.
One shopper, who posted a review on the Costco website, said that the steaks were “tough and flavorless.” Another shopper said that the steaks were “very thin and not worth the price.” Other shoppers have also complained about the potatoes and vegetables, saying that they were not fresh and of poor quality.
Costco has yet to respond to the complaints, but shoppers are hoping that the store will take their feedback into consideration and make changes to the steak dinner kit. Until then, shoppers are advised to look elsewhere for their steak dinner needs.
When you don’t have the time or energy to cook, popping a pre-made meal into the microwave or oven can be a real lifesaver in the kitchen. Whether you’re looking for something simple like a frozen pizza or something more elaborate like a Thanksgiving dinner, Costco offers quick and easy options designed to satisfy these needs.
However, not all of the warehouse club’s products are winners, according to shoppers. In a recent Reddit thread, one user shared a photo of Costco’s New York Steak Dinner With Creamer Potatoes, which is priced at $10.99 per pound. Among the 120-plus comments, many Redditors expressed their frustration with the cost of the ready-to-cook meal being around $40.
“Looked amazing until I zoomed in for the price. No thanks! Very unlike Costco tbh,” one user wrote on the thread. “Not a good deal at all,” another one added.
Several other users pointed out that purchasing the ingredients separately would be cheaper than the meal kit. One Redditor noted, “At my Costco you can get a four pack of steaks for under $40 so I would rather do that and then go get one of those giant bags of potatoes.” The user also suggested purchasing your own seasoning and added, “you’re good to go for the same price but you have quadruple [the] food.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with several Redditors focusing their disappointment on the meal kit’s potatoes. While a couple of users presumed that half of the product’s weight comes from the potatoes, others highlighted how the price of potatoes is typically less than a dollar per pound.
Costco’s steak dinner kit isn’t the only item that shoppers have been calling overpriced. Last month, Instagram user @costcohotfinds spotted the retailer’s Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaves for $14.99. While many Instagrammers expressed their excitement about the product’s return, others shared their disappointment with the price increase, with the baked good being sold for $10.99 in January 2022.
