10 Hot Sam's Club Buys Even Experienced Shoppers Overlook

When you're looking to save money on groceries, buying in bulk can be a good way to cut costs. However, not every product in the store is a good deal.

Sam's Clubs average over 130,000 square feet, which means it's easy to get overwhelmed when you're searching for products that deliver the best value, and you might miss something that could save you big-time cash. Here are the hot Sam's Club buys that even experienced shoppers often overlook.

While you can get rotisserie chickens at other savings clubs and grocery stores for a similar price, many people are shocked when they try Member's Mark Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken from Sam's Club.

Compared to grocery store prices, this organic grass-fed ground beef is a steal. At other stores, you would likely pay about $2 more per pound.

Almond milk is a great-tasting non-dairy milk alternative, but it can be pricey. This two-pack of Member's Mark Almond milk offers significant savings compared to buying other brands at the grocery store. Club members love this milk for its smooth texture and creamy flavor.

Price: $19.98

Paper towels are a household staple. Club members love the 15-pack of Member's Mark paper towels because they are thick and absorbent. Each roll is perforated, so you can "select and tear" to choose how big of a sheet you need. 

Members also love that the rolls are individually wrapped, so the towels stay protected and dry until you're ready to use them.

These jalapeno cheddar smoked sausages are a customer favorite. They come fully cooked and ready for you to pop on the grill or stovetop whenever you're looking to add some spice to your meal. This is a three-pound package, which is great when you want to cook for a party or a large crowd.

Whether you're looking for a quick party meal or just need an easy lunch option, Sam's Club sells this delicious ready-to-eat cranberry pecan chicken salad.

If you're looking for a dupe for a certain popular fast-food chicken to save money, look no further than Sam's Club. For the cost of a value meal, you can get three pounds of these chicken bites. Renowned for their pickle juice brine and flavor, customers love these tender chicken bites.

One club member said this cake was one of the best things she'd ever eaten, and lucky for you, it's available in the refrigerated case year round. Layers of white cake and chantilly cream topped with fresh fruits — ready for any party, anniversary, or birthday celebration.

Shopping at warehouse stores is a great way to stretch your Sam's Club budget. While you do need to pay a membership fee to take advantage of these lower prices, you can save year-round on essentials, produce, meat, and easy-to-grab frozen foods.

Not only does Sam's Club have great savings on everyday items, but they also carry limited-time items for the seasons and holidays. Watch for extra savings items, which are marked with yellow tags when shopping in-store.
