Sam’s Club is serving up a seriously fun mix this week, and your cart is about to get crowded. We’re talking cozy bakery treats, dinner shortcuts, pantry staples, sippable favorites, and a few home finds that make great gifts. Some are total wins, a couple made me raise an eyebrow, and all of them deserve a look before your next warehouse run.
1. Member’s Mark Chocolate Silk Pie – $12.74
This is a 10-inch Member’s Mark pie with a smooth, creamy chocolate filling, a chocolate cookie crumb crust, a swirl of whipped topping and chocolate shavings. It arrives ready to serve and has to stay refrigerated. The ingredients include chocolate cookie crumbs, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, sweet chocolate, egg yolks and butter, and it contains egg, milk, wheat and soy.
You should know this pie replaced the beloved French Silk, and it’s divisive. Some of you will like the sturdier cookie crust, which beats the old thick pastry shell. Others find the crust too crunchy, the topping a bit gummy and the flavor slightly chemical. It also seems smaller for the same price. If you love a big chocolate hit, it’s worth a try, but I’d keep my expectations moderate.
Takeaway: Buy it for a chocolate-heavy dinner party, but don’t expect it to taste like the old French Silk.
2. Member’s Mark Double Smoked Thick Cut Brown Sugar Glazed Bacon – $12.87
This is double smoked, thick cut hickory pork bacon sold raw, with two glaze packets of brown sugar, sugar, maltodextrin, natural flavors, molasses, maple syrup and honey. The official directions say to lay the slices on a parchment-lined sheet, sprinkle on the glaze and bake. The package makes about 22 servings.
This is candy-like bacon with real smoke behind it, and it’s an easy crowd-pleaser. It tastes a lot like those pricey “million dollar” style bacons, but without the effort. Use the oven, because that’s where it shines. The thick slices stay hearty and the glaze turns sticky and caramelized. It’s a bit sweet for everyday eating, but as a weekend treat, I’m sold.
Takeaway: Line the pan with parchment, because the glaze makes cleanup sticky.
3. Spanglish Asadero Beef Birria Seasoning Bombs – $10.98
These shelf-stable seasoning blocks are made from chile peppers, Hatch green chiles, onion, garlic and spices. You add one to a pressure cooker or Dutch oven with beef and broth and simmer. The bag is 5.75 oz.
This is a smart shortcut if you’ve always wanted birria but dreaded a long ingredient list. Pair it with a chuck roast and you get rich, smoky, tender beef with little work. It won’t replace a grandmother’s recipe, but for a weeknight it’s very good. The heat is moderate, so you can adjust it with extra chiles if you want more kick.
Takeaway: Perfect for taco night when you want big flavor and minimal prep.
4. Member’s Mark Tart Sweet Apple Turnover – $5.98
These are baked-fresh-daily turnovers made with flaky puff pastry, apple filling and a granulated sugar coating. The ingredients include enriched wheat flour, apples, sugar, margarine and spices. There are eight in a pack.
At roughly 75 cents each, this is one of the best deals in the bakery. They’re flaky, light and not too sweet, with a good amount of apple. Warm them in a toaster oven or air fryer, because cold turnovers are a missed opportunity. The microwave works in a pinch but softens the pastry. They also freeze well, so you won’t be racing against stale pastry.
Takeaway: Freeze half the pack and crisp them in a toaster oven as needed.
5. Member’s Mark Chocolate Chunk Cookies – $7.48
These cookies are baked fresh in the club daily and are loaded with semi-sweet and milk chocolate chunks, about 25% of each cookie. The ingredients include enriched flour, butter, semi-sweet chocolate, brown sugar, eggs and natural vanilla flavor. There are 18 per container and no trans fats or high fructose corn syrup.
These are the bakery’s reliable all-stars. They have a buttery, chewy base and plenty of chocolate, and they cost under 50 cents each. A 4.8-star rating from thousands of reviews matches my experience. Warm one for a few seconds and it tastes nearly homemade. A few readers report spotty availability, so grab a box when you see one.
Takeaway: If you want to bake your own, ask about the frozen dough cases and keep them in the freezer.
6. Member’s Mark Ground Coffee – $18.18
This Member’s Mark Classic Roast ground coffee is 100% Arabica and is sold in a 40 oz container. The official description promises a rich aroma and a velvety, smooth finish.
Honestly, I’d be cautious here. The aroma is bitter and the brew has a heavy, molasses-like taste, so you may need extra creamer to soften it. It’s affordable, but you can find better coffee at the same price. If you drink coffee mostly with lots of cream and sugar, it’ll do. If you like to taste your coffee, look elsewhere.
Takeaway: Best for creamer-heavy drinkers who care more about volume than nuance.
7. Member’s Mark Albacore White Tuna – $13.48
This is wild-caught solid white albacore tuna packed in water and fully cooked, with hand-selected, double-washed loins. The ingredients are white tuna, water and sea salt. Each 5 oz can has 110 calories and 27 grams of protein.
This is a pantry favorite for good reason. The pieces are firm, clean and not fishy, and they hold up in salads, wraps and casseroles. At about 34 cents an ounce, it’s slightly cheaper than the competition. Some shoppers say it’s the only tuna they’ll buy, and I get it. It’s a no-brainer stock-up.
Takeaway: Stock up if you eat tuna weekly, since the price per can is good.
8. Starbucks Coffee – $19.98
This is a ready-to-drink Starbucks Mocha coffee drink made with Starbucks brewed coffee, real reduced-fat milk, sugar, cocoa and pectin. It’s sold in 9.5 oz grab-and-go bottles.
It’s a sweet, creamy, chocolatey bottle you can chill and drink straight. It tastes like a coffeehouse mocha, only less nuanced. It’s convenient for road trips and busy mornings. If you want true freshness, bagged beans won’t be fresh from the roaster, so don’t expect a specialty cafe. It’s a decent treat when it’s discounted.
Takeaway: Watch for the instant savings on Starbucks coffee before you buy.
9. over&back 12-Piece Queen Anne Stoneware Dinnerware Set – $29.97
This set includes dinner plates, salad plates and cereal bowls in 100% stoneware with a natural glaze and a hand-finished look. It’s gray, dishwasher and microwave safe, and designed to mix and match with other over&back pieces.
For under $30, this is a bargain set. The soft curves and gray color look more expensive than the price, and it pairs well with colorful accents. It’s great for a first apartment or a quick table refresh. Stoneware can chip, so stack it carefully.
Takeaway: A great housewarming gift or starter set for a new kitchen.
10. Member’s Mark Seasoned Pulled Rotisserie-Style Chicken – $15.27
This is fully cooked, marinated and seasoned Member’s Mark rotisserie chicken with 19g of protein per serving. It is made with no antibiotics ever and has no MSG, artificial flavors or colors. The ingredients include chicken, a seasoning solution, a spice rub with garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, and natural flavors.
The flavor is the familiar rotisserie goodness you know. The catch is that the pulled tub costs far more than the $4.98 whole bird, and the whole bird is the price I’m quoting here. You’re paying mostly for the shredding. It’s also on the salty side. If you hate carving, it’s a time-saver. If you don’t mind two forks and five minutes, skip it and save your money.
Takeaway: Only worth it if you value convenience over cost. Otherwise, buy the whole bird and shred it yourself.
11. Member’s Mark Calzones – $14.39
These are precooked mini calzones from the Sam’s Club deli, filled with mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage and bell peppers. The recipe has been refreshed with more filling and a slightly thinner dough.
The first version was a letdown. It was dry, skimpy on filling and had tough, thick dough. The revamp fixes those problems, and the cheese pull looks fantastic. If you passed on them earlier this year, they deserve a second chance. I still wish I knew the price before you go, so check your club.
Takeaway: Give them another try if the first version burned you, and reheat in the oven for a crisp crust.
12. Slim Jim Giant Candy Cane .97oz Sticks 10-Pack – $12.98
This is a limited-time holiday pack of Slim Jim Giant Candy Cane sticks, 10 sticks at .97 oz each. It’s available for pickup at select Sam’s Club locations.
It’s a goofy, fun stocking stuffer for the jerky lover in your life. I’d treat it as a gag gift more than a gourmet snack. It’s the same salty, smoky Slim Jim experience in a festive shape. At about $1.30 a stick, you’re paying for novelty, and I’m fine with that.
Takeaway: Grab it for the Slim Jim fan who has everything, and check pickup availability first.
13. Member’s Mark Sauvignon Blanc – $6.94
This is a Member’s Mark Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, with tasting notes of citrus, gooseberry and melon and a zesty, herby finish. It is aged three months in stainless steel to keep it crisp and fruity.
For a bargain bottle, this is a great pick. It’s a drinkable Marlborough that tastes like a wine that costs a few dollars more. It’s bright and grapefruit-leaning without being too tart, and it’s fine for cooking too. I’d keep a bottle chilled for impromptu company.
Takeaway: Stock a couple of bottles for both sipping and deglazing a pan.
14. Sarah J. Maas ACOTAR Collection Chenille Throw – $29.98
Each throw measures 60″ x 70″ with soft chenille on one side and mink fabric on the reverse. It comes in a collectible magnetic-closure display box inspired by the matching book cover, in five designs.
If you or someone you love is an ACOTAR fan, this is a very cute gift. The box alone looks great on a shelf. The big catch is availability. Fans report empty shelves and confusion about the online drop, so you’ll need patience. At $29.98, it’s a fair price for a licensed blanket, and you’ll want to move fast.
Takeaway: Call your local club before driving over, since stock is spotty.

1. Holiday Throw Blankets – $19.98
You May Be Interested In
The Adult Licensed Christmas Holiday Silk Touch Throw Blanket is 60″ x 70″ and features characters like Bluey, Gilmore Girls, Hello Kitty, Stitch, and Winnie the Pooh. It’s made from silk touch polyester and is lightweight and machine washable. The brand is Jay Franco.
You’ll love how soft this is for movie marathons and chilly nights. It’s lightweight rather than heavy, so don’t expect a thick winter quilt. The character designs make it a fun gift for fans. If you don’t need a character, the plain Member’s Mark holiday throw is cheaper at $10.88.
Takeaway: Buy the character one for a fan, and the cheaper Member’s Mark throw for everyone else.
2. Member’s Mark Jingle N’ Mingle Holiday Snack Mix – $7.98
This is a new, limited-time holiday snack mix from Member’s Mark. No ingredient or size details were provided, so I can only tell you it’s a festive blend built for the season.
If you love a snack mix that feels like Christmas in a bowl, you’ll want to grab this one. Shoppers keep saying it has all the best parts of Christmas, and the sweet-and-salty variety makes it easy to graze on. It’s limited-time, so don’t wait if you like it. At under eight bucks, it’s an easy add-on.
Takeaway: Buy two bags, because one will vanish before the party starts.
3. Sam’s Club Thanksgiving Charcuterie Tray – $29.14
This Charcuterie Entertainment Tray includes hot soppressata, prosciutto, and Genoa salami. It also has Havarti dill, brie, and natural smoked gouda. The extras are a Greek olive medley, fig jam, stone-ground mustard, mixed nuts, pepper jelly, and multigrain crackers. It serves 10 to 12 people.
You’re getting a no-work centerpiece, and this year’s version is a real upgrade. Brie replaced last year’s sharp cheddar, and there seem to be more olives, which I’m fully on board with. It runs just under $30 on its own. If you miss the cheddar, toss a block on the tray yourself. You’ll still come out ahead on effort.
Takeaway: Buy it on its own if you’re hosting a crowd and want to skip the cheese-shopping stress.
4. Sam’s Club Stroopwafels – $13.12
These are a returning holiday snack at Sam’s Club. No official description, ingredients, or size details were provided, so all I can tell you is that they’re the classic caramel-style waffle cookie treat.
You’ll want these for your mid-morning slump, because they’re about the best excuse for a sweet break. They’re a seasonal return, so they feel like a little event when they show up. The one downside is that they disappear fast in a house with a sweet tooth.
Takeaway: Stash a pack at your desk, but expect coworkers to find it.
5. Member’s Mark Pulled Rotisserie Chicken – $12.97
This is a new deli item from Member’s Mark: rotisserie chicken that’s already pulled. No ingredient or size details were provided.
It’s a real time-saver, because you skip the picking and shredding. But be honest with yourself, because it costs more than a whole rotisserie chicken. You’re paying for convenience. If you’re a busy parent or just hate dealing with the carcass, it’s worth it. If you’re on a budget, grab the whole bird and pull it yourself.
Takeaway: Buy it on your busiest weeknights, and stick with the whole bird when you’re watching your budget.
6. Sam’s Club Jalapeño Popper Dip – $7.77
This is the Member’s Mark Pineapple Jalapeño Popper Dip, a spreadable take on jalapeño poppers. It combines cream cheese, jalapeños, pineapples, onions, green onions, salt, and a touch of lemon juice.
You’ll love this if you like sweet heat, because it’s tangy, a little salty, and not too hot. Even milder eaters should be fine with it. It’s well loved, with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from over 2,200 reviews. The annoying part is that not every club stocks it, so check your app first.
Takeaway: Check availability in the app before you drive over, and pick up extra for the holiday table.
7. Sam’s Club Fresh Tortillas – $6.73
These are fresh flour tortillas made in store at select Sam’s Club locations. They’re baked on a machine and bagged up for sale. No ingredient or size details were provided.
You’re going to notice the difference right away. They’re a bit rustic and slightly misshapen, with a just-baked chewiness that the prebagged kind can’t match. Newer stores seem more likely to have them, so ask the bakery. The catch is that plenty of locations don’t make them at all.
Takeaway: Ask at your bakery counter, and if they have them, grab a bag for tonight’s dinner.
8. Sam’s Club New Glazed Bacon – $12.87
This is a brand-new glazed bacon at Sam’s Club. No official description, ingredients, or size were provided, so I can only say it’s a sweet-glazed take on bacon.
If you’re a sweet-and-salty person, you’ll want to try this. I’d say go in with moderate expectations until you’ve tasted it, since it’s new and details are thin. A glaze does mean it can burn faster, so keep an eye on it in the pan or oven.
Takeaway: Cook it low and slow so the glaze doesn’t scorch.
9. Grinch Advent Calendar – $24.98
This advent calendar features 24 boxes packed with goodies like Grinch gummies, Santa sugar cookies, chocolate truffles, and peppermint patties. It holds over 2 pounds of treats.
For $24.98, you’re getting a lot of candy, which makes it a great deal for kids. It’s heavy on sweets, so it’s more of a candy fest than a precious countdown. If you want a fun, silly start to your holiday season, you’ll love it. Just hide it from the grown-ups who like peppermint patties.
Takeaway: Buy it early for the kids, and pace it out to one box a day.
10. 3D Holiday Village Advent Calendar – $49.98
This Deluxe 3D Holiday Town Advent Calendar is an illuminated winter village scene with a daily reveal. It includes treats from Lindt Lindor, Ghirardelli, Mrs. Fields, Pirouline, and Truffettes de France. It holds about 2 pounds of sweets.
You’ll like this one as a decoration as much as a candy source. The glowing village looks great on a mantel or table, and the name-brand chocolates are a step up from basic advent candy. It costs twice as much as the Grinch version, though. If you want something that doubles as holiday decor, it’s worth it.
Takeaway: Get it while supplies last if you want a display piece for the whole month.
11. Sam’s Club Pumpkin Pie – $5.98
The Member’s Mark Pumpkin Pie is made fresh in-house daily. The filling is 100% pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and spices. It’s 12 inches across and 58 ounces.
At $5.98, you can’t beat the value. It’s a penny cheaper than Costco’s version. Mine is custardy with a thick, almost cheesecake-like texture. The crust can be a little tough, though, and Costco’s has a bit more pumpkin flavor. It rates 4.6 out of 5 across more than 7,500 reviews, so plenty of people are happy.
Takeaway: Buy one of each and run your own taste test at the table.
12. Sam’s Club Thanksgiving Meal (11-item spread) – $158.72
This expanded holiday meal has 11 items, including turkey, ham, mac and cheese, and pumpkin pie. It serves 16 and is ready in under 2 hours, for under $10 per serving.
If you’re hosting a big group, you’ll love how little work this is. You get a real feast with both turkey and ham. The price per person is higher than what some other stores charge. Still, the spread is a lot bigger. You’ll likely want to add your own touches so it feels like yours.
Takeaway: Order it early if you’re feeding a big family and want to skip the stress.
13. Sam’s Club Bakery Muffins – $6.82
Sam’s Club sells muffins in packs of six, including blueberry, double chocolate, and banana nut. There are also seasonal variety packs. The muffins are bigger than Costco’s.
You get large muffins, but I’ll be honest about the double chocolate. It’s spongy and doesn’t hit the rich chocolate notes that Costco’s triple chocolate does. The pack also used to have nine muffins for just 50 cents more, so the change stings. They’re fine, but not my top pick.
Takeaway: Pick the variety pack if you want options, but know that Costco has the edge on chocolate.
14. Bow Pillow – $17.94
This is a trending home décor pillow with a bow design. No official description, materials, or size details were provided.
It looks far more expensive than it is, which is exactly why you’ll want it. It works as a quick, cute refresh for a couch or bed. Since I don’t have size or material info, check it in person before you buy.
Takeaway: Feel it in the store first, since fabric details weren’t listed.
15. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm Holiday Gift Set – $16.48
This limited-edition Burt’s Bees holiday collection includes 10 full-size lip balms in classic and festive flavors, including the Sam’s Club exclusive Sugar Plum. It comes in a fun oversized lip balm container. The regular price is $19.98, less $3.50 instant savings.
At about $1.65 per balm, this is a stocking stuffer win. You can split it up for teachers, coworkers, and kids, and keep a couple for yourself. The Sugar Plum flavor is a nice exclusive touch. Just remember it’s a lip balm, so it’s useful but not exciting.
Takeaway: Split the set up for stocking stuffers and cover your gift list in one go.
