Rotisserie Chicken
Average Price: $4.98
If you have ever shopped at Sam's Club, then you already know the Member's Mark Rotisserie Chicken is one of their most popular items.
Clinton highlighted that for less than $5.00, shoppers can get a seasoned, fully cooked, juicy whole chicken. "Compared to a grocery store rotisserie chicken that costs $7-$10, and is less flavorful and much smaller," she said. "The rotisserie chicken can be eaten right off the bone or used in multiple meals like soups, tacos or salads throughout the week."
All-Purpose Flour
Average Price: $8.48
If you love to bake and cook from scratch, the Member's Mark All-Purpose Flour is one of Sam's Club's best bulk value items in the store, according to Clinton.
"It's high-quality, and costs [$8.48] for a 25-pound bag, which is the same cost as a 5 [to] 10-pound bag of name-brand flours like Gold Medal," said Clinton, adding that the Member's Mark all-purpose flour works just as well for bread-making, baking and everyday cooking at half the price.
Cooked Bacon
Average Price: $13.87
In Clinton's opinion, the Member's Mark Fully Cooked Bacon is a freezer staple that's worth every penny.
"It costs $13.87 for a multipack compared to grocery store versions that are much smaller packs and cost the same," said Clinton. "This bacon saves time because it's fully cooked and doesn't compromise on quality or flavor."
Laundry Detergent
Average Price: $15.98
Clinton called the Member's Mark Laundry Detergent better than national name brands like Tide and Gain, and cost significantly less with 196 fluid ounces, which is enough detergent for 127 loads.
"This equals around $10-$15 of savings over time," Clinton said. "The Member's Mark detergent offers reliable and consistent cleaning results, cuts grease, stains, odors and smells fresh, just like the brands you love!"
Olive Oil
Average Price: $17.48
Clinton shared that Member's Mark Organic Olive Oil is one of the best items with the best value at Sam's Club, especially for those who use it daily.
At its price point, a bottle is "... $10 less than name-brand organic olive oils at the grocery store. Its flavor is mild, rich, and delicious, and it can be used for so many different things," she said.
