Sam’s Club is filled with low-priced items, but many don’t actually look affordable. When checking the price tag on these products, you’ll likely face sticker shock in the best possible way.
Many people assume the members-only warehouse club is just a place to stock up on average everyday items in bulk, but that isn’t the case. There are plenty of deals to be had on expensive-looking goods both in large and solo quantities.
Some of these items are unique to Sam’s Club. However, others are the same products sold at higher prices elsewhere.
These goods can be found in nearly every department, from travel and home décor to groceries and electronics. Therefore, if you’re in the market for something that looks posh — or maybe does typically have a high price tag — it makes sense to check Sam’s Club first.
If you’re ready to start shopping, there are plenty of tasteful products to fill your cart. Here’s a look at seven of the best expensive-looking items available at Sam’s Club right now.
Lobster Mac and Cheese
- Price: $7.88 per pound
Made fresh daily at your local club, Member’s Mark Lobster Mac and Cheese is a fancy version of the classic. Featuring five white cheeses, this tender Italia Cavatappi pasta is topped with chunks of decadent lobster.
The price is quite a steal from what you’ll pay in restaurants. For example, The Capital Grille charges $26 for the Lobster ‘N’ Cheese side dish on its menu.
Hardside Carry-On Spinner Suitcase
- Price: $69.98
Stylish and sleek, the Member’s Mark hardside carry-on spinner suitcase has the look and feel of a carry-on owned by luxury travelers — without a triple-digit price tag. Made from high-strength polycarbonate impact-resistant material, this bag has 360-degree Hinomoto silent and durable wheels, an external expansion layer and a TSA customs code lock.
It weighs in at 7.72 pounds and measures 22.2 inches high, 14.5 inches wide and 9.2 inches in diameter. Choose from gray, blue, purple or neutral.
La Mer The Lip Balm
- Price: $54.98
If you’re looking for high-end skin care and makeup products, it doesn’t get much more luxurious than La Mer. Designed to leave your lips feeling soft and moisturized, La Mer The Lip Balm features intensive hydration and a hint of mint.
In reality, this product is expensive, but your Sam’s Club membership gets you a deep discount. Specifically, you’ll pay $80 for this exact item if you buy direct from La Mer.
Teardrop Halo Pendant and Stud Earrings Set in Sterling Silver
- Price: $89
You might not realize it, but Sam’s Club sells jewelry — and you can get some great pieces at bargain prices. For example, the Created Gemstone teardrop halo pendant and stud earrings set in sterling silver is a classic that won’t go out of style.
Featuring a pendant centered with a pear-shaped lab-created gemstone, surrounded by stunning round, lab-created white sapphires, this necklace looks pricey. It’s paired with shiny stud earrings and packaged in a beautiful gift box, ready to impress a special recipient.
Faux 5′ Fig Floor Plant
- Price: $54.98
A chic accent that fits just about any room, this LCG Sales faux fig floor plant comes in a handcrafted woven neutral basket from Africa. Offering the best of both worlds, it has a realistic look but requires zero care — beyond occasional dusting.
You can pay significantly more for faux fig trees at other retailers. For example, a 6-foot fig tree with a similar look sells for $105 at Target.
