Sam’s Club aims to keep youngsters satisfied and grown-ups energized throughout the week. Naturally, they didn’t miss a chance to borrow a page from Costco’s bakery lineup this week. If I saw Costco’s latest hits, I’d be tempted to borrow a trick or two as well, so I won’t fault them. Here are five fresh food and beverage launches hitting Sam’s Club this week.
Member’s Mark Freeze-Dried Fruit Assortment
Blink and we’ve leaped from “the school year isn’t far off” to “school has already begun.” This pick lands a touch late for Sam’s Club, yet it remains a dependable addition to any lunch routine. The pre-portioned freeze-dried strawberries, slices of banana, and apple pieces make for a simple, convenient component to enhance a school lunch all year round.
Member’s Mark Cranberry-Orange Walnut Boule
Think of it as a playful nod to Costco’s Cranberry Walnut Round Bread, with a citrus twist. Sam’s Club has introduced a version that tucks in a hint of orange, giving an already popular loaf a fresh, bright touch and turning it into something distinctly new.
La Colombe Black Unsweetened Cold Brew Cans
This particular offering may not strike a chord with everyone. I tend to prefer beverages that lean sweet enough to mellow the coffee flavor, but different folks enjoy different styles. That said, La Colombe’s latest arrival at Sam’s Club features a straightforward, unsweetened cold brew in a can—perfect for a no-nonsense energy kick first thing in the morning.
Bloom Sparkling Energy Drinks — Variety Pack
Now we’re getting flavorful. No offense to the black-coffee crowd, but this lineup aligns more with my taste. Bloom has rolled out a sparkling energy drink variety pack at Sam’s Club, including familiar flavors like strawberry watermelon and strawberry lemon, plus a new option: crisp apple. It looks like an opportunity to revisit our Bloom Energy tasting with a broader palette.
Smash Kitchen Organic Tomato Ketchup
Smash Kitchen’s condiment line is moving from Walmart to Sam’s Club, bringing mayo, mustard, and now organic tomato ketchup into the local clubs. For this week’s feature, we chose a classic staple to highlight. While I’m still partial to Heinz when it comes to ketchup, it’s nice to have an expanded lineup to choose from.
