I'm a chef and I enjoy shopping in bulk at Sam's Club for my family.Lizzy Briskin

I'm a chef who buys groceries in bulk at Sam's Club for my family.
I stock up on staples like almond flour, Kerrygold butter, and Barilla pasta.

I do most of my food shopping at the many grocery stores throughout New York City and stick to farmers markets for my produce as much as possible, but it makes sense for me to buy some items for my family in bigger quantities.

When I'm running low on certain kitchen staples, I make a trip to Sam's Club, where I always find supersized bags and family-sized packages of some of my favorite culinary must-haves.

Though most of what you'll find at Sam's Club looks like it couldn't possibly fit into a New York City-sized apartment, these are the items that I will squeeze in using any means possible.
