We love to buy food at warehouse stores to save money. It’s the same price as buying smaller at the grocery store, but we can’t always make it through that much produce. To help cut down on food waste and keep meals diverse, Sam’s Club is providing families with seven unexpected ways to use a single delicious meal item commonly found in their kitchen. By visiting SamsClub.com/Meals each week, you will find seven different ways to get the maximum use out of a weekday food staple. For example, use a citrusy summer fruit to add zest to a salad, create a salmon salsa or whip up a lush panna cotta.
