5 Sam’s Club Foods That Are Absolutely Worth The Freezer Space

Sam’s Club stocks plenty of staples, but buying anything in bulk requires a real commitment. You not only need to make sure what you’re picking up is tasty (and worthy of your money), but also that you have plenty of room to stash a supersized supply.

And, since some of the best food at Sam’s Club isn’t sitting on the store’s shelves — instead, you’ll find it in the freezer aisles — you also have to decide if it’s worth sacrificing precious freezer space for. Luckily, after many trips to Sam’s Club and plenty of freezer rearranging, I’ve found five foods that are absolutely worth buying in bulk and making room to keep on hand week after week.

Member’s Mark Rising Crust Pizzas

Frozen pizza is always a good idea when you want a low-effort dinner, but Sam’s Club’s very own Member’s Mark Rising Crust Pizzas are one of my favorites to stock up on. These frozen pizzas come in a three-pack (which means you’ll get three nights of easy dining, no cooking required for your money) and two flavors: 3 Meat and classic Pepperoni.

But I’ll be honest, making room in your freezer for these large boxes isn’t easy. Luckily, they’re so affordable and delicious that it’s well worth doing. I love the self-rising crusts, which puff up in the oven, offering a soft-but-crispy final result that achieves the best of both worlds. Plus, they’re sizable enough for a family to share (although my husband would disagree on the nights he’s interested in eating a whole pizza himself). 

Member’s Mark Breaded and Boneless Homestyle Chicken Bites

The next time you’re craving chicken nuggets from your favorite fast food restaurant, head to Sam’s Club and pick up one of these giant packs of Member’s Mark Breaded and Boneless Homestyle Chicken Bites instead. They’re not some mysterious chicken mix that winds up with soggy, poorly seasoned breading after cooking; these are so good that they rival the drive-thru versions.

Made with real, adult-sized bites of chicken, these nuggets crisp up perfectly whether you toss them in your air fryer, toaster oven, or full-size oven (yes, I’ve baked an entire bag for a party). You do need to cook them a little longer than the package instructs, but once they’re done, they’re fantastic — and kid-friendly, too. Just take it from one experienced reviewer: “This product is fantastic for a quick meal when I’m dead tired and unsure I like my family.” As an added perk, they’re more than just nuggets. You can use them on salads, in sandwiches, and so many more ways.

Member’s Mark Uncured Ham & Swiss Cheese Croissant

I love a good sandwich that uses croissants instead of basic ol’ bread, and Sam’s Club has the Member’s Mark Uncured Ham & Swiss Cheese Croissant to fill my needs perfectly. This bulk-sized pack of frozen sandwiches might seem like a treat versus a necessity, but trust me: Whether you’re looking for a quick meal for yourself or you have kids in the house, these frozen meals come in handy.

Not only do these premade croissant sandwiches heat up in less than a minute, but they also taste fantastic whether you like them crispy (in the air fryer or oven) or microwaved. Shoppers call them “easy” and “a hit at my house,” noting that “There is plenty of ham and cheese, and they are the perfect size for a snack,” too. Trust me: You’ll reach for these more often than you think.

Member’s Mark Southern Style Waffle Fries

Okay French fry fans: You’ve got to clear some space in your freezer for the Member’s Mark Southern Style Waffle Fries at Sam’s Club. Yes, the bag is massive. Yes, it’s easy to think thoughts like, “That’s far too many fries.” But speaking as someone who dumped half of this bag on a sheet pan last night and used them to make carne asada fries, I’m here to tell you to ignore those thoughts, because these fries are excellent in taste and so incredibly useful.

Chick-fil-A fans will love this dupe of those classic waffle fries, and I personally love how these crisp up in both the oven and air fryer. Sam’s Club shoppers say “These are made from top-quality potatoes” and call them “extremely tasty,” with “more crunch [that] holds onto seasoning really well, so every bite has great flavor.” If you’ve been looking for a quick and easy frozen side dish, main, or snack, these deliver in a way other frozen fries don’t.

Member’s Mark Cinnamon French Toast Sticks

Lastly, while you might think of French toast sticks as a non-essential freezer item, take it from this adult: You’re going to need these in bulk once you taste them. They’ll take you right back to weekends and school day mornings from childhood — the Member’s Mark Cinnamon French Toast Sticks are light and fluffy, with just a thin layer of crispiness across their exterior. It’s like someone perfected French toast, made it into dippable sticks, and froze it.

And when it comes to flavor, the dusting of cinnamon on top of these irresistible sticks is just right. It’s not too powerful, but you won’t walk away feeling like your French toast needed a lot of syrup, either. In fact, these are so good and pillowy in texture that I often steal a few from my son’s plate and eat them without syrup.
