As most of you know, I love Costco as it has a huge variety of organic products at some of the lowest prices I’ve seen, but I’ve always been curious how Sam’s Club stacked up in this area. I recently took a trip to my local Sam’s Club and searched out every natural and organic product they offered along with the price. Here’s what I found:

Their selection was pretty slim compared to Costco, although they did have some unique finds like the Panera organic soup. Since I have a membership there are a few deals I would go back for like the guacamole and the Ecos laundry detergent.
I was really disappointed that they didn’t offer any organic meats or fresh produce (other than the kale and carrots). Their service wasn’t much better either. If you weren’t aware that Sam’s Club is owned by Walmart, you may figure that out by the time you leave as the service is pretty much the same. I went with my mom and we asked four different workers at different times where we could find certain products, and each time they waved their hand toward somewhere (I’m still not sure where) and said “it’s over there” with a sigh. It was such a uniform response that I’m starting to think they teach them that in training. I hate to generalize though, this could just be my local store, I can’t speak for other Sam’s Club locations.
If you have a Costco and Sam’s available in your area, I definitely recommend Costco over Sam’s due to lower prices, more variety and better service. If Sam’s is your only option, it may be worth it if you consume the above products frequently. It also may be worth checking back as organic products grow in popularity their selection may also.

Our Sam’s Club also has organic apples, lettuce, and bananas. They are slowly increasing their variety of organic foods. Very excited since the closest Costco is an hour away.
Thank you for the overview. We have both very close, but was a recent popped up for Sam’s and was wondering if it was worth the extra expense.
Our Sams also has organic salsa and pasta sauce on a pretty regular basis but not sure of the price
Awesome, thanks!
I love Costco, had a Sam’s membership awhile back due to lack of Costco in area. Moved to CA and there were plenty of Costco locations, made a point to stop at Costco through our travels to Oahu as well.
Since leaving California, we only have a Sam’s Club since the nearest Costco for us is 4 hours in Colorado or 5.5 hours to Sioux Falls. Member services stated we could purchase online for 2 day shipping, sadly most of the items we enjoy at Costco are perishable and your limited on what you can order from their site for delivery. So we had to settle for Sam’s Club membership and will drop our Costco membership.
