Sam's Club Items You Need To Try Before You Die

Owned by Walmart, Sam's Club is the members club of our dreams. A mecca for groceries, everyday household items, and whatever your heart desires, chances are you could probably find it here. In operation since 1983, they are committed to providing their members with an endless variety of goods, along with some serious savings and a slew of perks along with that. You can grab a state-of-the-art big screen television or even your prescription, but we're all about the food, and boy, do they deliver. 

While there are some items you should take a hard pass on, there's a large number of edible treats and boozy beverages that have us coming back again and again. Looking to pick up a bottle of wine? How about some irresistible dessert? They got you. The club's own brand, Member's Mark, features many a must-haves, some with even a cult following. You'll also not want to sleep on their food court. Fuel up for any shopping journey or pop in for a quick lunch and enjoy delicious bites at unbelievable prices. We're handling the heavy lifting here to ensure that you are well-informed for your next trip to the warehouse retailer. Here are the Sam's Club items you need to try before you die.

It's Sunday and you're nursing a wicked hangover. The only thing that will cure you are those beautifully crunchy (and just a bit greasy) waffle fries from Chick-fil-A. Unfortunately, the mega chicken chain is closed on Sundays. Have no fear. Member's Mark Southern Style Waffle Fries are a shocking imposter of the beloved drive-thru item. A Sam's exclusive, they're good on their own, or paired with the line's copycat spicy chicken sandwich. After just minutes in the air fryer, you'll swear these are the real deal. Each 4-pound bag makes about 21 servings, so you won't soon be going hungry.

Morning, noon, or night, we're always down for a slice of pie. Pizza pie, that is. Fortunately for all of us, Sam's Club Café is dishing out some pretty legit offerings, including their four meat pizza. While we're a fan of all of their pizza varieties, this version won us over and combines pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, and bacon. Each of the meats are full of flavor in their own right, but work harmoniously together for an explosion of flavor only made even better by the generous portion of cheese. Grab this one by the slice or a monster 16-inch full pie if you're looking to share (or not).

You may have long thought of fried pork rinds as a salty treat reserved for a visit to the truck stop on those long highway rides. They've recently emerged as a popular snack, thanks to the keto diet. These fried pieces of pig skin (you may have some reservations, but trust us) are naturally high in protein with the added bonus of being totally carb-free. Versatile in their own right, Member's Mark Original Fried Pork Rinds are an easy-to-grab and satisfying snack to pop in your mouth when hunger calls, but they can also be ground up and used in a variety of recipes, including as a sin-free breading for poultry.

There's nothing like rounding out a wonderful meal with family and friends than with a great dessert. Sam's Club has got your back so you can enjoy those extra precious minutes with the fam and out of the kitchen. They offer a nearly 4-pound cheesecake sampler for less than 15 bucks that is seriously delicious. Featuring seven different flavors, you're sure to please everyone with a creamy peanut butter cup slice, the ultimate rich chocolate supreme, the fruit-forward strawberry swirl, white chocolate raspberry, a straightforward and crowd-pleasing marble, a turtle with salty pecan and luscious caramel, and a wonderful take on classic New York-style cheesecake.

Few can resist the allure of a churro. A staple of any visit to a theme park or county fairs, these desserts are generously coated in cinnamon and offer the perfect crunchy exterior with a softer, cake-like interior. We're pleased to share with you that Sam's Club Café has pretty much nailed this signature dessert, no theme park ticket (or even Sam's Club membership) required. Clocking in at a whopping foot and a half long, these double twisted portable sticks of sweetness are a bargain any day of the week and have even been known to occasionally go on sale for 50 cents.

When Sam's Club reinvented their in-store brand, they set out to rise above their competition. They accomplished this by placing the focus on well-produced products that would have the average consumer rethinking the notion of "store brand." Premium products debuted and the new lineup launched with Italian-sourced olive oil and other hand-crafted items, including Member's Mark Clover Honey. Working with a bee cooperative, this new product was the result of their partnership with hundreds of independent beekeepers. This exclusive product receives rave reviews from this customers who note its wonderful taste and versatility.

Sam's Club is home to a wonderful assortment of pretty stellar dips, including their spinach and artichoke dip (more on that to come) and classic hummus. We promise you that this one takes the cake ... or is it pie? Step up your hors d'oeuvre game with Italian Rose Pumpkin Hummus. This gluten-free dip shines with flavors of paprika coming through and a just a hint of sweetness. It's wonderful by the spoonful or with a nice salty pita chip.

Making a homemade pie for the holidays is a tedious task requiring loads of your time, and frankly, we're just not that interested. We think you deserve to take a chill pill because Sam's Club is doing the work for you with their impressive Member's Mark Pecan Pie. So good your guests will think it was homemade, one bite will have you conjuring up memories of holidays past. Using real butter and a bit of maple, the light and flaky crust gives way to a traditional egg custard filling that is deliciously rich and decadent. No one will be going hungry this holiday as one 12-inch pie weighs an impressive 56 ounces.

Charcuterie and cheese boards have been all the rage these last few years. If you're looking to step up your entertaining game, Sam's Club is a one-stop shop to design the board of your dreams with quality meats and cheeses. Our cheese of choice here is their Member's Mark Chevre Fresh Goat Cheese Log. Made using American goat milk, the flavor is creamy with a bit of a punch, and it offers a gentle firmness that gives way to a crumbly texture. Fans have noted on their Sam's Club website that it has just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering and is an excellent value for the quality.

So, you've been to Napa a few times and all of a sudden your palate is elevated. We get it. But just hear us out on this one. Sam's Club upped their game in the liquor department and their Member's Mark line is nothing to turn your nose up over. Specifically, the Member's Mark Sangria. Crafted in Spain, this fruit-forward concoction is an incredible bargain at less than 7 dollars per bottle. Grab some fresh fruit from their produce section to slice up and now it's a party.

We hope you're as impressed as we are with the freshly baked goods found at your local Sam's Club. This next one even earned the praise of one fan calling it the "BEST cake we've ever had." The Member's Mark Tres Leches Style Cake is a wow-worthy dessert and a showstopper for any dinner party. Baked fresh on-site each day, the 10-inch cake features soaked sponge cake, fresh strawberries made into a filling, freshly whipped icing, walnuts, and decadent dark chocolate. The endless excellent reviews over on Sam's Club website are sure to sway even the most reluctant. One customer states that it is: "very tasty, moist, not too sweet, and the fruit was fresh" while another is bold enough to claim that it is "definitely one of the best cakes at Sam's."

Sam's Club has been earning high marks in the world of booze thanks to their private-label line of wine and champagne offerings. In addition to their standout Chardonnay, Riesling, and Cabernet, they also sell an impressive Member's Mark Asolo-Prosecco. We were even fooled by the bubbly that retails for under 8 bucks. The white sparkling wine features all the crispness you want from a traditional prosecco with the fruit-forward elements and refreshing notes of apple. It's even certified Prosecco Superiore DOCG. While a few customers have stated it has a bit of a bitter taste, the overwhelming majority is in favor of the budget bubbly.

When deciding what to bring to your next get together, a dip is usually a safe bet. Win over the crowds with Member's Mark Buffalo Style Chicken Dip. The 28-ounce tub, which retails for under 10 dollars, is made from premium cheese, spicy cayenne, and juicy chunks of white meat chicken. It's everything you love about chicken wings, with the added convenience of being able to easily scoop it up. There's a good amount of spice found here and the dip can be served cold or hot. If you love the flavor of hot sauce, you're going to love this one.

Friends bring happiness into our lives, but best friends bring wine. If you're headed over to a buddy's place, you'll likely be picking something up on the way to present to your gracious host. You're going to want to rethink your visit to local liquor store when you become privy to the deal Sam's Club has for you. Their own Member's Mark Chardonnay, part of their private-label line, is shockingly good, and considering the fact that it's about 8 bucks, worthy of adding to your regular rotation. With the fruit-forward flavor you'd expect from a good chardonnay, this one is produced in Sonoma County, the top growing region for the white wine variety. Color us impressed. 

If you're looking for the ultimate ready-to-heat side dish for that quick mid-week meal, you have got to try Member's Mark Twice-Baked Potatoes. Priced by pound and served refrigerated, four twice-baked potatoes are topped with a shredded cheddar cheese blend and come with a side of sour cream. Your only job is to heat and serve. Customers have commented on just how easy and satisfying this side dish is, as well as the fact that they are generously portioned.

The rotisserie chicken is usually a hot ticket item on any trip to a warehouse retailer. While Costco does a standout version, Sam's Club is also offering up a delicious version of the bird. The Member's Mark Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken is made fresh daily onsite. It's roasted to a golden brown and features a unique marinade, giving way to tender meat and wonderful flavor, thanks to their use of Lawry's seasonings. Delicious on its own, it also works well shredded in salads, pasta, and even enchiladas. For less than 5 bucks, it's tender, full of flavor, and everything you'd want from a rotisserie chicken.

The only thing we love more than snacks are individually wrapped snacks. Nonni's Almond Chocolate Biscotti is a win-win and an absolute pantry must. You can satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard and eating the entire container. This artisan product will seriously one up your cookie game. Perfect on its own or dunked into a cup of coffee, the biscotti is topped with almonds and then dipped in chocolate. It's an all-around quality product at an affordable price point, with a jar of 24 cookies setting you back just shy of 10 dollars.

While we've captured the attention of our Keto friends out there, we have to shine the spotlight on another wow-worthy product. We also promise that you don't have to be on board with the low-carb trend to love the Member's Mark Jalapeno Artichoke Dip. With a near perfect rating from customers over on the Sam's Club website, this dip has earned its spot as a party favorites. Fresh jalapenos are blended with artichokes, green chiles, and a cheese blend that includes Neufchatel and Parmesan. The result is a welcome spice that's immediately cooled by the inclusion of sour cream.
