Despite consolidating as one of the retail chains with the greatest impact and significance throughout the United States and in a great number of countries on the planet, Sam's Club is also known for housing a wide variety of products that, no matter how attractive they may be, can become a problem if you don't consume them quickly, in addition to being more expensive than in other places.
Due to the nature of the brand itself, there are products that you simply shouldn't buy if you're not going to consume them immediately or in large quantities. This is because most of them are fresh and should be used almost immediately.
It is important to mention that these products, as well as their prices, are subject to change, so they may vary depending on the state where you make your purchases.
Products you shouldn't buy at Sam's Club
Fresh products
Unless you intend to throw a party and want to serve trays of fresh vegetables, this product, due to its short lifespan, can become a problem in your refrigerator.
Milk
Sam's Club only offers milk by the gallon, so it won't be useful if you want smaller quantities.
Moisturizing cream
Once you start using it, moisturizing cream or lotion usually lasts between 12 to 24 months, so if you keep a large jar, it may not have the same effects for a long time.
Diapers
Despite their great usefulness, the store brand diapers Maker's Mark have higher prices, and they have been reported to have leaks.
Shampoo and conditioner
Just like moisturizing cream, it is not convenient to buy your shampoo or conditioner at Sam's Club unless you have a large family.
Cooking oil
According to various studies, cooking oil has a shelf life of up to 4 months, so if you're not going to prepare a feast, it's best not to purchase this product at Sam's Club because they only offer it in gallons.
Spices
Despite having a longer shelf life than other products, once you start using spices, the clock starts ticking. Therefore, look for smaller options if you only plan to use them for your daily meals.
Flour
Sam's Club, compared to other stores, offers a wide variety of flour. However, their large quantities can be a problem for those who won't use it quickly or in large amounts.
Gift wraps
Unless you have a big party coming up, it's best to avoid this product at Sam's Club as it is offered in packages of four rolls or more, so you could end up with significant waste.
Salmon
Despite its low price of 10.98 dollars per pound, the salmon from Sam's Club may not be the most convenient due to the variety of organic contaminants it can harbor due to its farming origin.
Greek yogurt
The main "disadvantage" of this product at Sam's Club is its price, as compared to other stores, it is usually offered at 0.21 dollars per ounce.
Fresh chicken
Like yogurt, fresh chicken tends to be more expensive at Sam's Club. For example, in this store it can be found at 2.68 dollars per pound, while in other stores, like Walmart, it is available at 2.67 dollars per pound.
Books
Despite not being their "strong point," Sam's may not offer you a wide variety of titles or recent works. In fact, their prices can be comparable to specialized bookstores.
Gift cards
Due to the wide variety of options to acquire this type of cards at lower prices, Sam's Club has become a lesser option for all those who wish to purchase various paid subscriptions.
