Sam's Club Sells 37-Ounce Chicken Shawarma Kit for Under $16 as Food Costs Rise

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 16

Summary

  • Sam's Club is pitching a 37-ounce Member's Mark Chicken Shawarma Kit for just under $16, targeting families looking for cheaper dinner options than takeout or cooking from scratch.
  • The kit includes six pitas, cooked chicken shawarma, bruschetta, feta, garlic sauce and spicy tahini, part of a broader push to offer convenient, value-focused prepared meals.
  • $16 matters because warehouse clubs are competing on time as well as price, analysts said, with busy shoppers seeking fast, predictable meals amid higher food and fuel costs.
  • Sam's Club's more price-sensitive customer base makes that strategy especially relevant, one retail expert said, though some online reviewers said the kit did not contain enough filling for all six pitas.
