Sam's Club Hot Dog Offerings - Sam's and Nathan's apparently part ways... :(

I steer clear of Sam’s, but Costco sells Nathan’s!

Their Kirkland brand is also very good. Formerly sourced from Hebrew National, as I recall, but whomever is making them now are just as good.

Anything I’ve bought with the Kirkland brand on it has been good to excellent.

Yeah, I might rethink my Costco boycott at some point. I let it lapse when they axed their outdoor propane tank filling station in 2023. The last couple of years, I went there 2-3 times a year to refill propane tanks, and do a walk through the meat department, and that was it.

I haven't been able to get Wright's at Sam's Club either in NC or in Ohio for the past year. It just evaporated from their freezer case... jfmorris

When I go online, though, they say it's available for delivery/pickup, so it must be somewhere in that store!

I've seen the Member's Mark bacon but had no idea that it looked so similar in packaging to the Wright's. Time for a taste test.

I'll ask customer service the next time I go. I was just there yesterday and the only bacon in the section was Members Mark.

Kathryn it may very well be location/region specific. Like the fact someone found Vienna Beef hot dogs, supposedly very good, at their Sam's, but my local Sam's just has Ballpark and Member's Mark.

Right now, the website shows available for pickup for ME:

1. Hormel Black Label bacon
2. Smithfield bacon (precooked)
3. Wright bacon
4. Members Mark bacon (4 different types)

Wright shows on the website for my local Sam’s, but when I try to add it to the cart it says not available. It IS available at Walmart Supercenters.

fzxdoc jfmorris Many Kirkland items are rebranded name brands. I know for a fact that the excellent basil pesto is Rana.

Good news on the Nathan’s return. A 24-pack makes more sense for regular use, especially if the local store stopped carrying them for a while. The Member’s Mark option still sounds worth trying, though I’d also compare the ingredient list and fat content rather than judging only by the packaging. I tend to plan grocery runs around my class schedule, so keeping track of attendance helps when deciding which days to shop or cook. For anyone juggling classes and other commitments, see the details here.

Interestingly, this summer, my local Sam's Club started carrying Nathan's again, in 24 packs. So all is well once more.

Now if they would just carry the Prime Rib sliders again....
