Sam’s Club is the place to find fantastic prices on brands that rarely (or never) offer coupons. Plus, Sam’s Club deals beat competitors — like Costco — on many items, sometimes even beating its own flagship store, Walmart.

Here are some items you can buy at Sam’s Club and have total confidence you’re getting a great deal:

1. Member’s Mark baby formula priced so low you’ll save about $450 per year.

When you’re spending between $50-$100 per month on baby formula, every little bit of savings helps. Members Mark baby formula is comparable to Similac, and it costs $0.52 less per ounce! It’s even more affordable than other store brands like Kirkland, and it’s the cheapest you’ll find at Sam’s.

(An average family spends close to $1,400 in the first year of formula feeding when they buy a brand like Similac. This means if you go with Member’s Mark instead, you’re going to save at least $450 in that first year and more likely, closer to $700.)

 

2. Serve Sam’s Club frozen salmon for under $3.30 a plate.

I could only get this cheaper if I went fishing and caught the salmon myself! Seriously, a generous, six-ounce helping of salmon rings up at $3.30, which means it’s only $19.80 to feed my family of six.

  • Sam’s Club: Member’s Mark Atlantic Salmon Fillets, 2.5 pounds, reg. price $21.98, or $0.55 per ounce
  • Costco: Kirkland Signature Atlantic Salmon, 3 pounds, reg. price $26.99, or $0.56 per ounce
  • Target: Simply Balanced Atlantic Salmon, 16 ounces, reg. price $9.99, or $0.62 per ounce
  • Walmart: Sam’s Choice Frozen Skinless Atlantic Salmon Portions, 24 ounces, reg. price $15.94, or $0.66 per ounce

 

3. Sam’s Club Cage-Free Eggs are so cheap, you’ll give up your dream of owning chickens.

What? Not everyone wants chickens in their backyard? Well if you do, you won’t anymore when you realize you can get your cage-free eggs at Sam’s Club 33-40% less than competitor’s prices.

 

4. Member’s Mark dog food is 68% cheaper at Sam’s Club than Costco.

Member’s Mark dry dog food is less than half the price of Kirkland dry dog food. The only way to possibly beat this price is to print dog food coupons from KCL and use them when you see a sale.

 

5. Stock up on Always maxi pads for less than the KCL stock-up price. (No coupons needed!)

Maxi pads are a great price at $0.15 each — it’s the KCL stock-up price. That’s why Sam’s Club’s price is particularly fantastic at $0.03-$0.04 cheaper per pad than their competitors.

 

 

6. Sam’s Club frozen triple berries are up to 30% cheaper than other stores.

Frozen berry coupons are rare, which is why I have to know which store has the lowest price. Sam’s prices definitely beat Costco here, but Sam’s whoops other supermarkets.

7. Grab Member’s Mark kitchen trash bags for almost 50% less than Target’s brand.

This is a three-month stock-up price for trash bags, and the only way to get them cheaper is to print Hefty coupons you find on The Krazy Coupon Lady. Seriously though, there’s no shame in just buying them at Sam’s Club at this price!

 

8. Buy Kraft Easy Mac cheaper at Sam’s Club than at Costco, Target, even Walmart.

Gotta love the blue box and the convenience of Kraft’s Easy Mac. No sense in spending a fortune at other stores when you can grab it cheap at Sam’s Club. Even Walmart can’t beat Sam’s price and they carry both the pouches and cups!

  • Sam’s Club: Kraft Easy Mac Microwavable Macaroni & Cheese, 18-count 2.15 ounce pouches, reg. price $14.78, or $0.15 per ounce
  • Walmart: Kraft Easy Mac Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, 8-count 2.05 ounce cups, reg. price $6.48, or $0.40 per ounce
  • Costco: Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, 12-count 2.05 ounce cups, reg. price $8.99, or $0.37 per ounce
  • Target: Kraft Easy Mac Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, 6-count 2.15 ounce pouches, reg. price $3.19, or $0.25 per ounce
  • Walmart: Kraft Easy Mac Original Macaroni & Cheese, 6-count 2.05 ounce pouches, reg. price $2, or $0.16 per ounce

 

9. Eat Ritz Crackers by the sleeve with Sam’s Club cheap prices.

Ritz Crackers are another item that you can confidently buy at Sam’s. The only possible way to find them cheaper is to stack Ritz coupons or rebate app offers from Ibotta with a sale.

10. Save almost 50% on Smucker’s strawberry jam at Sam’s Club over their closest competitor.

Can’t have a PB&J without some fresh jelly or jam. Sam’s Club carries Smucker’s strawberry jam (a favorite at my house) for way less than you can get it at Target.

 

 

11. Buy Sam’s Club chicken base cheaper than brands at other stores.

With the prices of chicken base hovering around $0.40 and up, Costco and Target can’t beat Sam’s. Even Walmart (at $0.42 per ounce) and Kroger (at $0.54 per ounce) aren’t in the running here! Sam’s is still the place to get cheap, great-tasting chicken bouillon base.

 

12. Enjoy Goldfish Crackers from Sam’s Club for about $0.14 per handful.

Because that’s how fishy crackers are meant to be eaten! And if we’re talking about a toddler’s hand, it’s more like a penny per handful.

  • Sam’s Club: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers, 66 ounces, reg. price $9.53, or $0.14 per ounce
  • Costco: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers, 58 ounces, reg. price $8.69, or $0.15 per ounce
  • Walmart: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers, Cheddar, 30 ounces, reg. price $6.28, or $0.21 per ounce
  • Target: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cheddar Crackers, 30 ounces, reg. price $7.79, or $0.26 per ounce
