Sam’s Club can be good for your budget in a lot of ways, from the bulk bargains to the 2% Sam’s Cash bonus for Plus members. But you’re not taking full advantage of your membership if you haven’t tried out Sam’s Club’s house brand, Member’s Mark.

This isn’t a typical low-quality generic brand. Most of the Member’s Mark products I’ve tried have been good quality, and the majority of them have excellent reviews online.

Here are a few excellent picks from Member’s Mark to help you start trying out the brand.

1. Member’s Mark Ultra Premium Toilet Paper

We’re particular about our toilet paper in this house, so I’m glad to say the Ultra Premium toilet paper from Member’s Mark is a good deal and a good toilet paper.

It’s quite a bit cheaper than the name brand we used to use, doesn’t shred when you try to get it off the roll, and is thick enough to not feel like public restroom toilet paper. It’s our current go-to.

2. Member’s Mark Select & Tear 2-Ply Paper Towels

Few things are as frustrating in the kitchen as a bad paper towel. The Member’s Mark Select & Tear paper towels give you a workable size sheet that is thick enough to do its job. Plus, they’re several dollars cheaper than the name-brand options.

3. Member’s Mark Organic 100% Pure Maple Syrup

Life is too short for bad syrup. But the real stuff can be quite a bit more expensive than the maple-flavored junk at the supermarket. Member’s Mark to the rescue.

While the Member’s Mark maple syrup is still more expensive than the fake stuff, it’s quite a bit cheaper than even the store-brand maple syrup at my local grocer. This lets us splurge on good-quality syrup without the budget guilt.

4. Member’s Mark over the counter medications

Having seasonal allergies can already feel a bit like a curse, and that’s before you add the extra Allergy Tax that is daily medication so you can do things like go outside. Sam’s Club offers Member’s Mark allergy pills with the same active ingredients as the name brands, but at a tiny fraction of the cost.

You can also find quality Member’s Mark versions of other important over-the-counter medications, including antacids and pain relievers, as well as vitamins and supplements.

Pro tip: If you have a sudden increase in your savings, say from switching to Member’s Mark products over expensive brand names, consider opening a new high-yield savings account to grow your extra cash. For instance, you can open a LendingClub LevelUp Savings account to earn 5.30% APY with $250+ in monthly deposits.

5. Member’s Mark ribs

We tried the Member’s Mark baby back ribs a few weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised at the quality. They come in a two pack for roughly the same we were paying for single racks at the grocery store.

Our house got its first smoker this summer and we’ve been throwing in a couple racks of ribs every weekend. While they’re not the most expensive meat you can smoke, a rack of baby back ribs is definitely not cheap, so we’re glad to have found a tasty option at Sam’s Club.

6. Member’s Mark Heavy Duty Foodservice Foil

My new favorite hobby is cooking ribs in the smoker, but they require a lot of aluminum foil. The rolls of heavy duty foil from Member’s Mark are wide and sturdy enough to withstand the pokey ribs, and long enough that we shouldn’t need another roll for months.

You can get Member’s Mark foil in a few weights (the brand offers a standard, non-heavy-duty version) and widths to suit your own needs and uses. They’re all at an excellent price, though the rolls are a bit large to store.

7. Member’s Mark holiday decor

You can find some surprisingly fun and attractive holiday decor from Member’s Mark for just about any occasion. Right now you’ll see a ton of great autumn and Halloween decor, from pumpkins to skeletons, and the Christmas trees are already starting to pop up.

8. Member’s Mark Ultra Soft 3-Ply Facial Tissues

We have some facial tissue connoisseurs in my house, so we’ve tried a wide variety of types and brands. Member’s Mark Ultra Soft tissues are hands (noses?) down our favorite. They are soft, comfortable on your nostrils, and absorbent.

Member’s Mark also has a less expensive 2-ply facial tissue that we keep around for daily use. But if someone in the house has a cold, we reach for the Ultra Soft 3-ply packages.

9. Member’s Mark Comfort Pro Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat

I have a few of these handy mats in both my office — for my standing desk — and in the kitchen in front of my prep space. They’re great for keeping your feet fresher when you’re standing for long periods, and I’ve noticed mine helps with a bit of lower back pain, too.

10. Member’s Mark seasonings and spices

The single best thing you can do to improve your cooking on the cheap is to learn to use seasonings properly. They add tons of flavor without a lot of calories or expense.

If you cook enough to make it through a Sam’s Club-size spice jar, then Member’s Mark spices are definitely worth a look. You can get everything from savory garlic powder to spicy cinnamon for quite a bit less than the grocery store.

Store brands get a lot of (well-deserved) flack, but I’ve found Member’s Mark to be a delightful exception. Start giving these products a try to save money on your everyday essentials.
