Bakery Battle: Costco vs Sam’s Club on Flavor, Bulk, and Value

Bakery Battle: Costco vs Sam’s Club on Flavor, Bulk, and Value

Both Costco and Sam’s Club offer strong bakery options, with Costco excelling in variety and bulk-pack offerings while Sam’s Club often provides better value for smaller households with smaller pack sizes. Costco treats are popular for taste but can spoil faster due to fewer preservatives, potentially erasing bulk savings if items are wasted. Cake and muffin opinions are mixed among shoppers, so there’s no clear winner. Notable picks cited include Costco’s butter croissants, rustic Italian loaf, pita, and cream cheese Danishes, plus Sam’s Club’s pumpkin cheesecake, Honeycrisp apple lattice pie, tuxedo bar cake, and berry Chantilly cake.
