Free Costco Samples Are Back, Baby

This is the summer of hedonism. Photo: Cliff Grassmick/Digital First Media/Boulder Daily Camera via Getty Images After a difficult 14-month hiatus, Costco is bringing back free samples. Once again, you can make a meal of complimentary Ritz crackers with proprietary cheese spread and free miniature hot dogs! Or, as I like to call them, “passed apps.”

Starting this week, about 170 Costcos are bringing back the full sampling experience; by the end of the month, samples should be back in full swing at all 548 stores. “The first wave will actually determine how fast we roll out and what and when restrictions are lifted,” explained Costco’s chief financial officer, Richard Galanti, on an earnings call last week. Like a crocus in the springtime, it is a sign of hope.

But Costco is not the only membership-only retail warehouse back in the game: Yesterday, Sam’s Club announced it was also bringing back free samples this week, although only in sealed packages and only on the weekends. “More than ever, members want to do more than just shop when they come to our clubs,” Megan Crozier, Sam’s Club’s chief merchandising officer, said in a statement. “They want to have an experience.” And Sam, apparently, is going to give it to them.

Still, at both stores, there will be changes to the sampling protocol. It is not, according to the Krazy Coupon Lady, what it used to be. We cannot go back to the lives we had before. Galanti said the stores will make smaller sample batches “for better safety control,” prepare them behind plexiglass, and distribute them one at a time.

Alex, I’ll take “something I’ll never take again,” for $200....
