10 Member's Mark Products That Sam's Club Shoppers Rave About

It's one thing to talk about how discount and warehouse stores can save you money and help your finances. It's another thing entirely to think about whether those savings are worth it.

Rarely is it worth it to sacrifice on the quality of a product -- and, more importantly, your quality of life -- for a few pennies (or even a few dollars). And I think we've all learned that lesson the hard way.

That's why I was thrilled to discover for myself how well Sam's Club and its Member's Mark house brand bucked the trend. You really can save money and maintain a high level of product quality. I'm hardly the only Sam's Club shopper to think so, either. Here are some of the items reviewers love.

Compound the savings with sales and rewards

What makes many of these prices so interesting is that they aren't sale prices, but regularly listed prices. So that leaves you a lot of room to get even more savings by stocking up when Sam's Club runs one of its many, many sales and deals.

And don't forget about rewards. If you're a Sam's Plus member, you'll earn 2% back on your purchases.

Of course, you don't need an upgraded Sam's Club membership to earn rewards on your warehouse buys. Pay with one of our favorite rewards credit cards and you can earn a ton of cash back. Plus, that cash back will stack with any other deals or rewards for which you're eligible!
