SAM’S Club has revealed its Easter menu with a variety of food and drink options for members to get this year.
A brand new addition is also very similar to a beloved offering from Starbucks.

After listening to customer feedback last year, Julie Barber, executive vice president and chief merchant at Sam’s Club, said that the focus this year was “shaking up tradition” and offering plenty of options for “feasting and grazing,” per a news release.
That’s why it added some brunch spread options that include the new Member’s Mark Egg Bites.
The dish was described as “café-quality” and included toppings of uncured bacon and three different cheeses with cage-free eggs.
It’s a nearly identical dupe of the Bacon and Gruyère Egg Bites at Starbucks.
With its breakfast staple, Starbucks includes applewood-smoked bacon and Gruyère Monterey Jack cheese with cage-free eggs, per its website.
There’s also a special “sous vide” cooking method to add texture.
Both the Sam’s Club and Starbucks egg bites are great high-protein options for a meal, whether on Easter or not.
MORE, PLEASE
Several other options are also on the Easter menu as part of a “day-long experience filled with food, fun, and community,” according to Barber.
That includes a charcuterie board, blueberry pie, cherry pie, ham, ribeye steak, and more.
Member’s Mark Mac and Cheese is also available, along with Member’s Mark Carrot Cake.
More details and all of Sam’s Club’s easter selections can be found on its website.
SHORTAGE STRUGGLE
Given the ongoing egg shortage due to the H5N1 bird flu virus, it’s unclear if the Member’s Mark Egg Bites will have a price increase.
It’s possible, given that egg prices for a dozen continue to skyrocket at retailers nationwide.
A report from the USDA last month projected a 41.4% increase for the year.

Sam’s Club is one of several retailers, including Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods, that have placed limits on egg purchases.
Members at Sam’s Club are currently limited to two cartons per trip.
CHECKOUT CHANGE?
Some customers have also started to speculate over whether or not Sam’s Club will fully eliminate checkout areas soon.
The retailer has been on the cutting edge of self-checkout technology and its famed Scan & Go feature, which allows shoppers to pay with their phone and leave with ease.
A customer recently claimed that they were told by employees that their store would be “removing all registers by the end of the year and we will be required to use our phones to scan and checkout,” per a post on X.
“Is this true? No self-checkout?”
Sam’s Club’s official X account replied but didn’t provide any further clarity, simply asking the customer to contact them for more information.
There’s also a way shoppers can request discontinued food court items at Sam’s Club.
A competing warehouse retailer is also opening up a new store in weeks that some consumers dubbed “better” than Sam’s Club.
