The prepared foods section at Costco is diverse, affordable and delicious—the perfect solution for picking up a quick dinner on a busy night or a ready-to-eat dish for a potluck. In fact, the prepared mealsare quite popular with customers and there is a wide variety to choose from.

However, a couple of items seem to be less satisfying and not worth the purchase, according to Costco fans and customers on Reddit. Actually, several users had a lot to say in a Reddit thread discussing the worst Costco prepared foods available based on personal experience and preference. (Plus, for the most part, users agreed on which ones to avoid, creating a general consensus.) 

Here are the top suggestions from Redditors on which prepared foods to skip the next time you go to Costco.

I recently saw a bit on a late night talk show that prompted viewers to come up with the everyday activity they’d win a gold medal in if it were an Olympic sport. For me, that prize-winning skill is making pancakes. As a mom of three, I make a lot of pancakes. Chocolate chip, Mickey Mouse, silver dollar, monster truck, fire truck, blueberry, banana; you name it and I’ve poured, flipped, and plated it. 

All that practice has led to my being able to whip up a batch of pancakes without a recipe, just good vibes. A little flour, egg, dairy, some leavener, a pinch of cinnamon and usually some sort of fruit or vegetable I’m trying to hide from my kids. Through all of this tinkering I feel qualified to tell you the one ingredient that makes the best pancakes every single time is ricotta cheese. Why? This one ingredient guarantees my pancakes–no matter what their shape–are the lightest and fluffiest possible.
