There are a lot of things to think about when making a food list for your next trip to Sam’s Club. Maybe you’ll want to get some yogurt cups for an effortless snack in your bag or coffee to wake you up in the morning. This month, the Sam’s Club Instant Saves book is on your side, no matter what.
From August 28 to September 22, you can save a lot of money on things you’ll need for early fall, like healthy snacks and tasty drinks. Enjoy a better breakfast every day with $1.50 off packs of Godshall’s turkey bacon, or end the cooking season with $2 off Amylu chicken burgers.
There are even excellent deals on things like freezer staples, very useful tools, and cool cooking storage. Here are eight of our top deals for you to monitor. Get your pen ready, because making a shopping list just got a lot easier.
Tyson Chicken Nuggets with White Meat
It’s very helpful to have frozen nuggets on hand as the school year gets going and your days get busy. For a full-on comfort meal, our Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Fries or Copycat Five Guys Oven-Baked Cajun Fries are excellent.
You can also mix the nuggets with some veggies to make a chicken nugget salad. You can do it either way; dinner will be ready in minutes. Next time you go to Sam’s Club, buy a 5-pound bag and save $2 while the sale lasts.
The Babybel Cheese
These little cheeses are ideal for when you need a little extra protein at snack time, a tasty side dish for your lunch, or something ready-portioned that you can throw in your bag before you leave the house. For a quick lunch, you can eat them by themselves or with fruits and vegetables, like our Clean-Eating Bento Box Lunch.
You can get a 26-count bag of tiny Babybel cheeses for $3 less than the usual price. You can choose between 26 original cheeses or a pack of sharp original, Monterey Jack, and white Cheddar.
Starbucks K-Cups and Nespresso capsules
This fall, you can only get some deals online. One example is the deal on Starbucks-branded Nespresso beans. It costs $7 less to buy boxes of 60 pods that work only with machines from the original Nespresso line, not Vertuo machines.
There are 20 standard espresso pods, 20 blonde espresso pods, 10 Pike Place roast pods, and 10 single-origin Colombian pods in each variety pack. And if you want to try something new with coffee, you could use one of those espresso pods to make a tasty Pumpkin Spice Latte to welcome autumn.
You can still find a deal on Starbucks K-Cups for your trusty Keurig machine if you’d rather shop in a store. There are boxes of Pike Place roast, single-origin Sumatra, French roast, Veranda mix blonde roast, and decaffeinated medium roast that are all $8 less expensive.
Even though it is possible to drink too much coffee, research has shown that a cup of java can be beneficial for your health, so drink up!
Blue Diamond Nuts
Nuts are always a beneficial thing to have on hand. Almonds are full of good things for you, so you can eat them on their own, in a salad, in a snack mix, or even by themselves. As of this month, 40-ounce bags of whole almonds will cost $3.25 less.
This is true whether you choose lightly salted, smokehouse, ranch-flavored, or plain nuts. Pick up the plain kind and season them yourself, like we do with our Everything-Seasoned Almonds. You could also add them to a tasty recipe, like our five-star Almond Joy-Inspired Energy Balls.
Chobani Flips and Yogurt Cups with No Sugar
The best place to start when you want to eat more gut-healthy foods is with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is thick and creamy. It contains probiotics, which are good for your digestive system, as well as protein, which makes you feel full. In August and September, you can save $2 on 16-count boxes of Chobani Flips and Chobani’s Sugar-Free Cups. Each flip comes with flavored yogurt and tasty toppings to mix in.
The 16-count variety pack has tastes like s’mores, cookies and cream, strawberry cheesecake, and pumpkin harvest crisp for fall. Strawberry cheesecake, milk and cookies, vanilla, and mixed berry tastes are all in the zero-sugar pack.
This is the Member’s Mark 8-Piece Fliplock Pantry Storage Set.
This set is a suitable replacement for OXO’s POP containers. Each set has eight different containers, so you should be able to find a size that works for keeping almost anything. We’ve marked these cases down to $25.
You can seal them with just a touch, and the lid has a handle for simple carrying. Animals can’t get to things like flour, nuts, oats, or rice that you keep in your kitchen. You can also leave them out on the table and fill them with snacks like pretzels or your favorite homemade trail mix.
Ninja Home Appliances
These Ninja deals might make you decide to buy an air fryer, toaster oven, or mixer. If you’re looking for a blender, Sam’s Club is giving $20 off the Ninja Blender Duo iQ. This blender can blend in either a personal cup or a bowl, based on your recipe.
We’ve had favorable experiences with both big and small Ninja blenders in our test kitchen, so we’re hopeful that this pair will do the job. (You should start it off with something really tasty, like our Sheet-Pan Tomato Soup or mango raspberry smoothie.)
There are even better deals for people who want to buy an air fryer. Two Ninja air fryers are on sale at Sam’s Club for $30 and $40 less than they normally cost. The Ninja Foodi 9-in-1 Digital Air Fry Oven is available. The people who work in the EatingWell test kitchen also liked Ninja’s toaster oven-style air fryers and regular basket air fryers, so you know you can trust the brand.
It also boasts a cool drying feature that may pique the interest of those who enjoy working on kitchen projects. Make sure to use one of our best air fryer recipes to break in your new machine. You can use your new machine to make a lot of different things, from healthy snacks that you can take with you to restaurant-style meals.
Both mineral water and sparkling water are available with Member’s Mark.
For those who like a glass of fizz to help them get through the day, these new drinks from Sam’s Club are worth keeping an eye out for. The store now sells Member’s Mark fizzy mineral water in packs of 24 glass bottles for $17.98, as well as Member’s Mark flavored sparkling water in packs of 24 17-ounce bottles for $10.68.
The plain mineral water is in the standard pack, but the sparkling water packs come with eight bottles of watermelon-lime, black raspberry, and strawberry lemonade tastes. You can keep these in your home fridge, your camping cooler, or the break room, and you’ll always be able to stay hydrated with a twist.
