Sam's Club introduces new flavored snack as customers say 'it's so good' and beg to make it a regular item

Aug 08, 2023

SAM'S Club shoppers are raving about a new snack they can't get enough of.

The bulk-buy store has exclusive snacks under its Member's Mark brand that can't be found elsewhere.

One of the newest snacks is the beer cheese popcorn.

Member's Mark premium popcorn is coated with a dusting of homestyle beer cheese.

The flavor is described as "creamy, sharp, and cheddar-y," similar to the pub-style dip that is an Oktoberfest staple.

On the Sam's Club website, shoppers have rated the popcorn four out of five stars and said it is an addicting snack.

"Please take the 'limited time only' status off this snack! It is so good you just can't put it down," one customer wrote in a review.

"Give me more, give me more!"

Another person said they bought it on a whim and went back the same week to "buy a few more bags."

"Also made a party mic using some of those dots pretzels, the beer cheese popcorn, and peanuts — so good!"

The popcorn has been spotted at various locations around the country in 14-ounce bags for $4.98, but the price does vary by location.

And since it's a limited-time offer once it's gone it's not likely that it's coming back.

From now through August 17 Sam's Club is offering new members a chance to sign up for $20.

The 60 percent savings will be available to new members who work as state-licensed or certified teachers, principals, assistant principals, or school employees.

The deal applies to school employees from pre-K through 12th grade and college and university professors.

In order to secure the savings, potential members must verify their employment status through the Sam’s Club website.

The savings can be redeemed online or in stores.

Scott Ludwig, Vice President of Membership at Sam’s Club, told KTLA 5 that the deal is aimed at helping school staff and faculty get the necessary items for their classrooms without breaking the bank."

“We know that educators continue to dip into their own wallets to pay for classroom supplies, and we want to help ease the burden this year with better access to the unbelievable value that Sam’s Club provides,” Ludwig added.

Despite the new offerings, customers were upset to find Sam’s Club recently tacked on an automatic surcharge on certain orders.

Luckily, a savvy shopper found a way around these surcharges.
