15 Frozen Sam's Club Staples I Never Leave Without

Sam's Club is known for offering quality products at reasonable prices, and I'm all for a good discount. I gravitate toward Sam's Club for everything from a quick lunch to freezer staples, and I've found that certain items stand out for their price, quality, and availability. 

From breakfast sandwiches to salmon fillets, these are the frozen finds I keep coming back to, plus how several of them stack up against fast food on price.

If you want to make the most of your Sam's Club membership, don't miss out on these must-have finds. Run, don't walk, to your nearest store and grab them while they're still in stock.

Price: $13.86

Back in my fast food days, I used to enjoy a delicious fish fillet from McDonald's. I often thought about recreating that at home, but I could never find the right fish fillet until now. 

I discovered Gorton's frozen breaded fish at Sam's Club, which is available in a large bag for about $0.50 per fillet. Each 54-ounce bag holds 28 fillets made with wild-caught Alaska pollock, and Sam's Club reviewers say they cook up crispy in the air fryer in about 10 to 12 minutes.

When you add buns, tartar sauce, and a slice of glorious golden cheese, you end up with a satisfying fish fillet dupe for under $3.

Price: $13.98

In the morning, I often neglect cooking breakfast, which leads me to grab calorie-dense snacks that leave me feeling unsatisfied. Jimmy Dean croissant sausage and cheese breakfast sandwiches offer a quick solution: just microwave one, wrap it in foil, and you're ready to go. 

Each sandwich comes individually wrapped in a pouch you can microwave straight from the freezer with no defrosting, and it packs 13 grams of protein. Sam's Club members give it 4.7 out of 5 stars from more than 6,000 ratings.

While Dunkin' sells a pretty delicious sausage, egg, and cheese croissant for about $4.11, Sam's Club provides this Jimmy Dean dupe in a pack of 12, saving you $2.94 per sandwich.

Price: $12.24

Speaking of breakfast, I think these Jimmy Dean chicken biscuit sandwiches are a great alternative to Wendy's honey biscuit sandwiches. They're light, crispy, and easy to pack in your lunch bag. 

Plus, they offer a whopping 13 grams of protein to start your day. Best of all, they're more affordable: At $1.53 compared to Wendy's $3.75, you're saving $2.22 per sandwich.

Each sandwich features a crispy white meat chicken patty and real honey on a soft, flaky biscuit. Heat one in the microwave for a quick bite, or use the air fryer for an extra-crispy texture. Sam's Club sells them in an eight-count pack, and reviewers say the biscuits stay moist instead of drying out.

Price: $8.68

Luigi's Italian ice variety pack is a go-to treat in my house, even after the hot summer months end. For me, no game day or movie night is complete without them.

Not only are they absolutely divine, but I find them easy to carry around, and they don't melt all over my hands and arms. This 24-count pack includes individually wrapped 3-ounce squeeze-up tubes in three flavors: cherry, lemon, and strawberry. 

They're made with no artificial colors or flavors, and at about 36 cents each, they're an easy treat to keep on hand for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, and birthday parties.

Price: $13.47

Pick up a bag of lightly breaded chicken breast bites if you're craving the Chick-fil-A taste at home. These bites are reminiscent of popcorn chicken but are much lighter and less greasy. In fact, they're some of the cleanest chicken bites you'll find on the shelf. 

They're made with all-white-meat chicken breast, have never had antibiotics, and pack 16 grams of protein per serving.

When comparing volume and price, you'll get nearly three times the amount of chicken for just $3.99 more than what you'd pay for a Chick-fil-A 12-piece. The fully cooked bites come in a 3-pound bag, so you can warm them in the air fryer or oven, then toss them on salads, roll them into wraps, or serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Price: $11.87

Waffles were a staple in my household throughout my childhood. We enjoyed them for breakfast every Friday and could top them however we liked. 

My favorite combination was chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and nuts. I still treat myself to them occasionally, though now with healthier toppings. Fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a spoonful of peanut butter all work well.

After a bit of shopping around, I discovered that Sam's Club offers the best deal on them with a box of 60 for under $12. Now I "leggo my ego" at about $0.20 per waffle. Since they pop right into the toaster from the freezer, they're an easy option for busy school mornings.

Price: $29.98

Member's Mark Angus beef patties are my absolute favorite shortcut for a last-minute grill and chill. This pack comes with 18 patties, priced at just under $2 each. 

Each 1/3-pound patty is made with 80/20 ground Angus beef, a satisfying size for a hearty burger. They come frozen, so you can keep a pack on hand and cook only as many as you need.

Although Sam's Club carries seasoned patties, I prefer these since I can add my own seasoning before grilling them. Try a simple salt and pepper blend, Cajun spice, or garlic herb seasoning, then top them with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion for a classic cheeseburger.

Price: $23.94

A few years ago, I joined the fish oil trend after reading about its numerous benefits for heart and brain health. Since then, I've aimed to have at least two servings weekly, with salmon being my absolute favorite. 

After shopping around, I've concluded that Sam's Club is the most cost-effective option for purchasing portioned filets.

For about $25, you'll have enough salmon to enjoy two portions a week for a month. The 2.5-pound bag contains skinless, boneless center-cut portions that are farm-raised, sustainably sourced, and individually wrapped, so you can thaw only what you need. 

Each serving has 23 grams of protein. Bake them with lemon and dill, cook them in the air fryer, or flake leftovers into a salad.

Price: $25.87

Member's Mark chicken wings are one of those items I don't leave Sam's Club without. They're individually glazed before being frozen, so they don't clump together and are much easier to thaw. 

Plus, $25.87 for a 10 lb. bag is a deal that's pretty hard to beat. I'm not alone, either. The wings earn 4.5 out of 5 stars from more than 12,000 Sam's Club ratings, and reviewers describe them as large and meaty.

I pop mine in the refrigerator overnight before seasoning them and grilling them the following day. You can also bake, fry, or air fry them before tossing them in buffalo sauce or your favorite dry rub.

Price: $17.98

OK, I might be revealing one of my biggest secrets here, but here it goes. Whenever I'm invited to a function where I need to bring "my own" dish, I always bring crab cakes, and of course, everyone loves them. But little do they know, I didn't make them; I bought them from Sam's Club.

For this tasty deception, I choose Member's Mark hand-made crab cakes. They taste fresh and are perfectly seasoned. 

Each pack includes six 3-ounce crab cakes made with wild-caught blue swimming crab, plus red bell peppers, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemon zest. Serve them on a bun, as an appetizer, or over a salad.

Price: $17.88

I prefer to keep my fat low and protein high, so I tend to choose chicken breast meat over thighs. However, breast meat is like the Mercedes-Benz of chicken parts; it's very expensive. Luckily, I found these at Sam's Club a while back and have been buying them ever since.

They're priced reasonably, pre-seasoned, and pre-grilled, making them the most convenient protein source for a quick lunch or dinner. T

he 3-pound bag holds fully cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets with rib meat, and each piece is individually frozen in a resealable bag. They're labeled No Antibiotics Ever and heat up in the oven or microwave.

Price: $7.47

My trainer recommended this blend to me as an option for low-calorie vegetables that are high in fiber. Sometimes, I add grilled chicken to the mix; other times, I add a little Alfredo sauce, salmon, and fettuccine noodles.

Honestly, the combination of meals you can make from this blend is endless. The 4-pound pack includes four 1-pound steam-in-bag pouches filled with broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and orange and yellow carrots. 

Each bag cooks in four to five minutes, and the blend is low in sodium with no preservatives or artificial flavors. Because the bags are pre-portioned, you can cook just enough for one meal and keep the rest frozen.

Price: $10.98

I am a bona fide smoothie addict. I have to have a smoothie every day, and three items that are a must-add are blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I used to purchase them fresh, but they would spoil so quickly that I started looking for a frozen solution.

This triple-berry blend provides me with more than enough fruit, often lasting over three months. The 4-pound bag includes blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries that are picked at peak ripeness, washed, and ready to eat, and they're high in vitamin C. 

Beyond smoothies, the frozen berries work well stirred into yogurt or oatmeal or baked into desserts.

Price: $8.58

What's a top 15 list without french fries? And what better fry to make its way to my list than Ore-Ida Crispy Crinkles? These fries cook up perfectly every time. They're crisp, golden, perfectly salted, and soft on the inside.

As much as I'd like to keep it low-carb, this is undoubtedly my favorite cheat. The 8-pound bag is made from Grade A potatoes grown in the U.S., and the fries are gluten-free. 

At about $1.07 per pound, it's an affordable way to stock your freezer for burger nights, game days, and quick family dinners. Just bake them in the oven until golden.

Price: $14.98

Movie night just isn't the same without popcorn, nachos, and pizza. I get my pizza from Sam's Club, specifically the Red Baron combo pack. This pack contains pepperoni and four-cheese deep-dish pies. What I like most about these pizzas is that they don't taste frozen.

They remind me of the deep-dish pizzas I used to get from the local pizzeria on Coney Island Avenue, and that says a lot coming from a New Yorker. The 12-pack comes with personal-size pies, so everyone can grab their own. 

Sam's Club reviewers give it 4.6 out of 5 stars from more than 6,000 ratings, and many recommend the air fryer for a crispier crust.

As you can see, Sam's Club has frozen treats for everyone, no matter your dietary needs or flavor preferences. From dairy-free delights to protein-packed options, there's something for every freezer and every taste bud.

With the money you save, you could easily grab a few extra items to stock up on or save money on groceries like snacks, pantry staples, or household goods. The choices are endless.

Before you head to the club, check the Sam's Club app, since prices can vary in club and online. Many of these items are also available for curbside pickup or same-day delivery, which makes restocking your freezer even easier.
