The $2 Costco Frozen Breakfast Find That Has Shoppers Buying 4 Boxes at a Time
Starting your morning routine with a warm, comforting, and flavorful breakfast sandwich is a great way to kick off the day. There’s something so satisfying about biting into a cheesy handheld layered with smoky bacon or savory sausage. But, sometimes, amid a hectic morning routine, getting one of these bites from a drive-through is easier. The only problem? Week after week, spending money on takeout can get expensive.
For quick math: A bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from McDonald’s costs about $2.50 each, while one served on a croissant from Starbucks sells for nearly $5.99. Buying one of these handhelds for breakfast every week can get pricey. To stay on budget, shoppers have been hitting up Costco to get an equally delicious and satisfying frozen dupe.
If you scour the freezer aisle at Costco, you’ll find applewood-smoked bacon, egg, and cheese nestled in between a spiral croissant bun. One box comes with eight sandwiches, so you can dig into them throughout the week. You can heat them in the air fryer or microwave, and breakfast will be served within minutes.
A pack of bacon, eggs, and cheeses from Costco costs $18.71, and making each breakfast sandwich costs about $2. This deal has shoppers racing to Costco to grab a pack to fill their freezers up.
In this Instagram post detailing the drive-through breakfast sandwich dupe, one person commented, “I just bought the breakfast sammie for hubby, and he said it is amazing!” While another shopper called out how they couldn’t “wait” to get their hands on the handhelds.
Costco has many dupes if you’re hoping to ditch your morning drive-through run. They sell sous-vide egg bites similar to the ones from Starbucks in two flavors: bacon and Gouda, as well as roasted red pepper and cheese for nearly half the price. You can also find bottles of the Starbucks Pink Drink sold at the warehouse store for a discounted rate. So, if you’ve been wanting to implement more budget-friendly practices into your routine without compromising on flavor, head to your nearest Costco location to get saving.
