Sam's Club Vs Costco: Whose Pumpkin Pie Is Better?
by HELENA NICHOLS
Costco
Costco's Kirkland Signature pumpkin pie has gained a cult following. People wait for the pie to drop, and entire Facebook pages are dedicated to it.
Sam's Club
Sold under the Member's Mark label, Sam's Club may not have the same cult following, but in 2021 alone, they sold 450 football fields' worth of pumpkin pies.
Ingredients
Both pies have similar ingredients, although Sam's Club has more preservatives and thickeners listed, which aren't without value but change the consistency.
Nutrition
The Costco and Sam's Club pumpkin pies have 12 servings for each pie. A Costco pie has slightly fewer calories, fat, sugar, and carbs than a Sam's Club pie.
Size
These two supersized pies are 12 inches long, about double the square inches, and three times the weight of an average 8- or 9-inch pie.
