What’s New At Sam’s Club This Week (And Why We’re Excited)

When it comes to grocery hauls, I love a gimmick. I love a theme, too. Sam’s Club has delivered neither of those two things for us this week. They’ve set us on a sensible path. The world is in chaos (and who knows what a dollar is worth anymore), so maybe it’s needed. Stability isn’t bad, I suppose. These are the things for the straight shooters out there. The ones who want to get in, get out, and just enjoy the rest of what life has to offer. I see you, I respect you: here’s the sensible new items that Sam’s Club has launched this week.

Member’s Mark Chicken Shawarma Kit

As a single guy, meal kits are a favorite of mine from warehouse clubs. It can be hard to lock yourself into a big box of one thing, so easier-to-stomach (no pun intended) meal kits are the preferred option. Sam’s Club’s chicken shawarma kit, with two sauces included, is perfect for throwing into the mix when you want a quiet night in.

Member’s Mark Breakfast Platter

“Vinz didn’t you just include a breakfast platter in the Sam’s Club Easter brunch haul?” I did but this is somehow a new breakfast platter? I don’t know; I just roll with what I find. Though this breakfast platter has the same name, it comes with different options this time. In this version, you get strawberry delight, lemon raspberry, cinnamon crumb, chocolate swirl, and blueberry streusel pastries.

Rising Star Baking Supply Cocoa Powder

Good cocoa powder can cost you an arm and a leg. While Rising Star Baking Supply’s cocoa powder may come in a daunting 1.25 lb container from Sam’s Club, it’s sold at an appealing price point. It rings up for nearly half the price ($11.48) as a comparable option at my local grocery store. Besides, who doesn’t want more excuses to bake up some kickin’ brownies and truffles?

The Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

Mother’s Day may have passed, but it’s never too late to get mom a bottle of wine. Call it a late thank you present for putting up with the countless stress you added to her life. Maybe you’re looking for something to pair with the fudgy brownies that you made with Rising Star’s cocoa powder. Either way, a nice bottle of wine from Sam’s Club is always welcome in the cart.

Catalina Crunch Blueberry Muffin Cereal

You’re an adult. You can’t be eating sugary and fruity cereals for breakfast! No, you need healthy and fruity cereals, duh. Catalina Crunch’s blueberry muffin cereal from Sam’s Club is protein forward with a fiber kicker. Just what the doctor ordered. Eat this to keep you satiated before the big merger meeting you have on the agenda for the day.
