7 Items To Avoid Buying At Sam's Club - Tasting Table

"Whether you're shopping for a big family, a large event, or just want to stock up on non-perishable grocery items, warehouse membership stores like Sam's Club offer just what you're looking for. These stores allow you to buy in bulk, which often yields better deals than those you'd find at a more conventional grocery store. But that doesn't mean every product at Sam's Club is worth buying. In fact, there are some that you should actively avoid when you find yourself browsing the warehouse."

"Depending on your local warehouse, you may have to contend with your produce going bad too quickly after you buy it. While there are ways to keep your produce fresh longer, some find that their purchases end up rotting faster than they're able to use the bulk products. A user on Reddit even mentioned that because the packages are so large, it's hard to know if everything in them is fresh at the time of purchase."

Warehouse membership stores like Sam's Club sell items in bulk that often offer lower per-unit prices than conventional grocery stores. Bulk purchases are useful for large families, events, or stocking nonperishable supplies. Not every product is worth buying in bulk because some items have poor quality or limited utility. Fresh produce in large packages frequently spoils before consumers can use all of it. Large packaging can conceal already-rotting pieces, leading to significant waste. Fresh fruits and vegetables tend to be more reliably fresh and available in manageable sizes at smaller grocery stores or farmers markets.
