"When you want the flakiest, butteriest, most decadent baked goods at a great value, Costco and Sam's Club have you covered. But which one has the best bakery department overall? You may think Costco's got this one in the bag, but it's actually a squeaker. Sam's Club holds its own when it comes to its selection and price of baked goods. Costco has it beat in variety and bulk offerings, but each has its pros and cons."
"If you're looking for bulk savings, Costco offers larger multi-item packs than Sam's Club. This can be a good way to feed a larger family or freeze a portion to enjoy at later. However, if you have a smaller household or limited freezer space, Sam's Club smaller baked good packs are a more practical option than struggling to finish an eight-pack of blueberry muffins by yourself before they go bad. That's one of the many things Sam's Club does better than Costco."
Costco provides larger multi-item packs and a wider variety of bakery offerings, which can be economical for large families or for freezing. Sam's Club sells smaller packs that better suit smaller households and limited freezer space, reducing waste. Taste preferences vary, with many favoring Costco treats while some Sam's Club items rival or exceed Costco quality. Costco's baked goods contain fewer preservatives and therefore spoil faster, which can offset bulk savings if items are discarded. Cake preferences split among shoppers, with differences noted in design, whipped topping, and mousse filling.
