When it comes to Sam's Club frozen meals, the variety is impressive, with options ranging from store-made to name-brand, vegan to indulgent favorites. The portions are generous, and there's something to suit almost any cuisine. If you want to unlock the true value of your membership, these frozen finds are a great place to start.
I'll be the first to admit that finding a clear winner amongst these 13 choices was pretty difficult, but after tasting everything twice, the champion was clear.

Runner-Up: InnovAsian General Tso's Chicken
Price: $9.98
If you're searching for a restaurant-style General Tso's chicken, this is the one.
InnovAsian created this dish with white meat chicken battered in tempura and topped with Asian-style barbecue sauce. It's slightly spicy because it includes chili pepper flakes, but the heat is manageable.
I usually add it to rice or noodles, which helps stretch the meal and get more servings out of the box.
Runner-Up: Barber Foods Stuffed Broccoli and Cheese Chicken Breast
Price: $10.98
Sam's Club members rated Barber Foods Stuffed Broccoli and Cheese Chicken Breasts a 4.7 out of 5 stars, so I had to try them.
I appreciated that they were frozen raw, so they weren't dried out or overcooked before I had a chance to prepare them. Cooking them in the oven allowed all the flavors to meld together, which resulted in tender, juicy, and golden chicken breasts.
Runner-Up: Member's Mark Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza
Price: $12.98
If you're a fan of Sam's Club Food Court Pizza like me, you'll love Member's Mark Rising Crust Pizzas. My favorite movie night choice is pepperoni, which offers great value for money at just under $13.
For that price, you'll get three pizzas loaded with pork, chicken, and beef. What I like most, though, is the crust. It rises similar to a Di Giorno pizza and is held together by a delicious mixture of mozzarella and unsmoked provolone.
Runner-Up: Member's Mark Tempura Orange Chicken
Price: $12.98
If you want to impress your dinner guests, start by purchasing Member's Mark Tempura Orange Chicken. Fry it in sesame oil with yellow and orange bell peppers. Then, drizzle it with orange sauce and toss to coat. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve it alongside fried rice.
Once you try this, you'll never go back to takeout orange chicken — it's that good. Trust me.

Runner-Up: El Monterey Signature Steak and Cheese Chimichangas
Price: $13.97
Next time you're at Sam's Club, grab a bag of El Monterey Signature Steak and Cheese Chimichangas — they are worth it. While they are available at Walmart for $15.12, you only get 12 chimichangas. At Sam's Club, you'll get 14 for just $13.97.
Each chimichanga is packed with real steak, onions, bell peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, and a mild chili sauce, making for a delicious meal.
Runner-Up: Zatarain's Frozen Blackened Chicken Alfredo
Price: $14.78
After discovering Member's Mark Chicken Alfredo, I thought I was set until I tried this version from Zatarain's. And I wish I had tried it sooner because this dish is divine.
This box contains two 30-ounce trays of mouthwatering blackened chicken, penne pasta, and zesty cream sauce — enough to feed a small family or even yourself for a few days.
Runner-Up: MiLa Beef Pho Soup Dumplings
Price: $12.96
While exploring the best frozen meals at Sam's Club, I was thrilled to discover MiLa's dumplings.
They're truly restaurant-quality in both flavor and texture, yet each serving contains only 150 calories. What impressed me most is that they're made with rich Pho broth and steam perfectly without falling apart.
Runner-Up: Stouffer's Signature Lasagna With Meat Sauce
Price: $14.98
Stouffer's Signature Lasagna is a beloved family favorite. Each serving features freshly made pasta topped with savory homemade beef and vine-ripened tomato sauce, finished with bubbly mozzarella cheese.
The package contains 11 servings, offering excellent value at just under $15, compared to Walmart's price of $16.48 for the same product.

Runner-Up: Ajinomoto Vegetable Chow Mein
Price: $15.76
I'll never get tired of chow mein. Every bite offers a slightly different flavor, something I rarely find in other dishes. This brand, in particular, is absolutely packed with vegetables, and the sauce is perfectly balanced — enough to coat the noodles without drowning them.
I like to toss in a chopped chicken breast for extra protein and finish it off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Runner-Up: Sea Cuisine Smoky Bourbon BBQ Shrimp Skewers
Price: $16.44
The Sea Cuisine smoky bourbon barbecue shrimp skewers are a customer favorite. After reading the glowing reviews about them, I decided to try them myself, and they did not disappoint.
Each box contains eight skewers layered with shrimp, green bell pepper, pineapple, red bell pepper, and shallots, making for a flavorful and colorful dish. Best of all, you can grill, bake, or air fry them.
Runner-Up: Member's Mark Southern Style Chicken Bites
Price: $13.97
Speaking of excellent value for money, Member's Mark Southern Style Chicken Bites in a massive three-pound bag are a must-have. When I'm running low on my protein intake but don't feel like cooking, I often toss a few of these pieces into my salad.
This brand uses 100% white meat chicken with no artificial flavors, preservatives, or antibiotics, and each serving provides 13 grams of protein.
Runner-Up: Lobster Roll Meal Kit
Price: $99.98
This is one of those splurge items I save for special occasions, and it's worth every penny.
The lobster meat in this meal kit is lightly seasoned, perfect for enjoying as-is or customizing with your own seasoning, which I always do. It even comes with split-top buns, so everything's included. Best of all, there's enough in the kit to generously feed eight people.
Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill
Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:
- Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
- Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
- Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.
Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.
Winner: Member's Mark Chicken Pot Pie
Price: $20.41
Member's Mark Chicken Pot Pie is prepared on-site daily, ensuring freshness.
It features a flaky, buttery crust and is filled with shredded chicken, unlike other store-bought brands that use chunks of chicken. But the benefits don't stop there. This pie also offers excellent value for money, as it serves four to six people.
Bottom line
I tried a lot of meals — more than I'd like to admit — but one stood far above the rest: the Member's Mark Chicken Pot Pie. Because it's sold by weight, you might get yours for less than I did, and it'll still taste just as incredible.
Skip the oven and check out Sam's Club's pre-cooked and frozen meals, available through Instacart or curbside pickup at no extra charge — a smart way to save on groceries without sacrificing flavor or convenience.
