Swiffer Duster Kit
Price: $14.58
A Swiffer Duster Kit, containing one handle and 24 refills, costs $14.58 at Sam's Club. Designed to eliminate dust from hard-to-reach spots, it removes up to 95% allergens and is rated 4.6 stars by customers.
A pack of two Amazon Basics 360 Heavy Duty Duster Kits costs $13.81. Each kit contains one handle and seven dusters, which only equates to 14 total dusters.
The Swiffer Duster set is priced higher, but it offers a better value.
Keter Everest Adirondack Chair With Integrated Cupholder
Price: $89.98
Available in a variety of colors, the Keter Everest Adirondack Chair with Integrated Cupholder is rated 4.5 stars by Sam's Club customers. Featuring an ergonomic design, this durable, weather-resistant chair comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
On the other hand, the Amazon Aware FSC Certified Outdoor Folding Adirondack Chair has a customer rating of just three stars. It's also only offered in dark gray, which might not be every customer's first choice.
Member's Mark Nicotine-Coated Gum
Price: $62.98
Offered in mint or fruit flavors, Member's Mark Nicotine-Coated Gum is available in 2-milligram or 4-milligram tablets. Rated 4.7 stars, each package contains two 150-count pieces of gum -- for about $0.21 per piece.
Comparatively, Amazon Basic Care Coated Nicotine Gum costs $0.43 per piece.
Avani Dead Sea Collagen Eye Cream
Price: $29.98
Designed to enhance elasticity, reduce puffiness and smooth wrinkles, Avani Dead Sea Collagen Eye Cream is sold in a two-pack of 1.7-ounce jars. Rated 4.2 stars, this all-natural, chemical-free, cruelty-free eye cream hydrates the skin and plumps fine lines.
Rated just 3.4 stars, Amazon Basics Moisturizing Gel Eye Cream costs $10.40 for a 0.5-ounce jar. Unsatisfied customers have complained that the cream is too thick for proper application, believe the formula isn't as effective as they hoped and some experienced irritation in the eye area.
Jill Zarin Anguilla Outdoor Rug
Price: $149.98
Rated just 3.4 out of five stars, the 9-foot-by-13-foot Amazon Basics Rectangular Outdoor Rug is $187.99. A comparable 9-foot-by-12-foot Jill Zarin Anguilla Outdoor Rug -- offered in a variety of colors -- is rated 4.7 stars at Sam's Club.
Sure, the Amazon Basics rug in the two-tone gray color is cheaper than the Jill Zarin option, but given the difference in customer ratings, you'd likely have to replace it sooner.
