Most Produce
Several shoppers said bulk produce often goes bad before smaller households can finish it, potentially canceling out any savings.
"Unless you're cooking for a lot of people, it's extremely tough to get through it before it goes bad," wrote one shopper.
Prepared Foods
While shoppers praised the affordability of prepared foods, some questioned their overall quality. One employee also raised concerns about food-preparation standards at their location.
Bakery Items
Bakery products received some of the strongest criticism in the discussion, with shoppers specifically calling out the bread, sheet cake and carrot cake.
"The cream cheese frosting tastes like chemicals and some of the nuts taste rancid," said one shopper of the carrot cake. "It's awful."
Canned Soda
Although canned soda packs at Sam's Club are typically priced lower compared to full-priced cans at other stores, shoppers said you're better off holding out for a sale at a traditional grocery store, when prices tend to be even lower.
Rib Meat
Shoppers caution against buying the ribs sold in the same area as Sam's Club's famous rotisserie chicken.
"Worst thing ever," said one shopper. "I was expecting fall-off-the-bone goodness and was just so disappointed. I felt robbed."
