META: Amy’s Kitchen serves up quick, easy eats that won’t break the bank.
Just because you’re pinching pennies doesn’t mean you have to tighten your belt. Sure, food prices have shot up 28% since 2019, according to nerdwallet.com, and ordering take-out or dining out can really add up. However, brands such as Amy’s Kitchen aim to give shoppers more bang for their buck. The company offers an expanded variety of family-size portions of its most popular dishes, designed to provide affordable organic meals that feed multiple people.
“We know that inflation has been difficult. A lot of families balance child care with work and life, and they need something that really tastes good, that’s convenient, and feeds the whole family at an affordable price,” says Amy’s Kitchen President Paul Schiefer.
The family-size lineup features beloved Amy’s dishes, including its top-selling cheese enchiladas, vegetable lasagna, pesto tortellini, poblano enchiladas with cream sauce among the supersize offerings, along with broccoli cheddar bake and pad Thai. These larger portions help budget-minded shoppers get more value while maintaining the same organic ingredients and cooking methods Amy’s customers have come to expect.
What’s the Skinny on Amy’s Kitchen’s Family-Size Entrees?
While prices vary at multiple retailers, Amy’s Family Size Frozen Roasted Poblano Enchilada currently retails at Target for $15.49 and offers six enchiladas. The brand’s family-size cheese enchiladas sell for $14.47 at Walmart.
Fans of the larger size Amy’s Kitchen meal packs have been sharing their thoughts on the bigger, better deal on various websites.
“When we realized that there was a larger version available — the Amy’s Family Size Vegetable Lasagna — we grabbed our forks and got ready to dig in,” states a review on freezermealfrenzy.com. “While a lot of ‘family sized’ meals really only have enough food for one or two people, this dish lives up to its name. It’s a pretty big lasagna, and it’s stuffed with ingredients, which means even a smaller serving is going to be pretty filling.”
Another reviewer had positive things to say about the larger version of Amy’s pad Thai.
“Amy’s Pad Thai family size is perfect for our busy family. Finally, a portion large enough to feed my family! We are big fans of Amy’s Pad Thai, and the family size provides a great value for what you get,” Da0419 reviewed on target.com.
Multipack Burritos Make Meal Planning Simple
Beyond family-size entrees, Amy’s Kitchen now offers multipacks of the brand’s popular burritos. These bundles provide an economical way to stock up on quick meals while reducing the per-unit cost. The multipack format particularly benefits busy families looking to stretch their grocery budgets without sacrificing quality.
Shoppers can find Amy’s Kitchen products at retail locations across the United States. The extensive distribution network includes major national chains such as Target, Walmart, and Costco, regional grocery stores like Publix and Kroger, and natural food retailers, including Whole Foods Market.
Amy’s Kitchen maintains its commitment to organic ingredients even while offering larger, more economical portions. The company works directly with farmers to source high-quality organic vegetables, grains, and other ingredients. Its cooking process mirrors home kitchen methods — sauteing onions and garlic, building roux, and using herbs and spices rather than artificial flavors.
The company produces over 1 million meals daily while maintaining traditional cooking techniques. Manufacturing facilities prioritize real cooking over industrial processing, creating meals that taste homemade despite their scale.
Consumer-Driven Development
Rachel Berliner, company co-founder, reads and responds to every consumer letter sent to Amy’s Kitchen. This direct feedback helps shape new product offerings, including the development of family-size portions and multipacks. The company’s focus on customer experience extends beyond transactions to creating meaningful meal occasions.
Product development starts with meals enjoyed by team members, family, and friends. The company tests new recipes extensively, gathering feedback from employees, retailers, and consumers before launching products. This thorough process ensures new items meet both taste and value expectations.
Budget-conscious shoppers can feel good about choosing Amy’s Kitchen products. The company sources organic ingredients that support soil health and biodiversity. Its manufacturing facilities increasingly use renewable electricity, with 35% to 40% currently coming from renewable sources. Additionally, 75% of Amy’s packaging materials can be composted or recycled.
Making Organic More Accessible
The founders of Amy’s Kitchen started with a simple premise in 1987: Create meals good enough to serve to family and friends. This philosophy continues today as they expand access to organic, vegetarian foods through larger portion sizes and value packs.
Manufacturing facilities combine culinary expertise with modern technology. The company invested in sophisticated refrigeration systems, inventory management, and quality control while maintaining traditional cooking methods. These improvements allow Amy’s Kitchen to produce meals efficiently without compromising its homestyle approach.
Savvy shoppers can maximize their Amy’s Kitchen budget by looking for family-size portions of popular dishes and watching for sales at major retailers.
“We take immense pride in bringing families, whether born or chosen, together around the table and believe this new line will make it even easier,” said Fred Scarpulla, chief culinary officer at Amy’s Kitchen.
