The freezer section at Costco is one of the warehouse club's most popular departments, stocked with easy meal solutions and delicious desserts galore. Here's a section of the store that always has a good variety of tried-and-true staples, but also a rotating selection of new items to try. While there is always the occasional "miss," most items are worth returning to while they're available.

If you are looking for healthy frozen dinners, you'll want to pay attention to the ingredients and nutrition facts. Oftentimes freezer meals are loaded with sodium, saturated fat, and preservatives.

With the start of fall and the new school year, Costco has introduced a great selection of options including staple brands with new products, old favorites, and entirely new to the freezer section items. Plus, a few seasonal options you'll want to grab fast.

Here are 25 freezer finds at the warehouse to try right now.

There's usually some form of dumpling in the Costco frozen aisle, but these pork and chicken gyoza from Ajinomoto appear to be new. (You'll often see the same brand's instant ramen at the warehouse.) These are meant to be pan-fried and the cooking time is about 12 minutes, meaning you can get these done quickly. A box of 60 normally will cost you $14.99 at the warehouse, but I recently found it on sale for just $10.99.
