I have been buying this for years to fix salads for lunch. The last 6 months I have seen a decline in the quality. When I buy it on Sunday and can't get enough mix to make a quality salad, that's bad. I used to get a whole week and I still get the mix with the date still good. I have even thrown the mix out by Tuesday.

I normally love this product, but the last two times I've bought it - and the purchases were two weeks apart - it's been spoiled, and long before the expiration date. The first time, on 10/2/22, I opened it on the day I bought it, to fix a side salad for dinner. It was spoiled The smell was overwhelming and the exp. date was still over a week away. Not worth $5 to drive all the way to Sam's to return it, so I threw it out. Thinking it was a one-off experience, I bought it again on 10/15/22. Exp. date is 10/22/22. Yesterday (10/18/22) I went to fix a salad for lunch and once again, I opened the container and there was an overwhelming and nasty spoiled stench, with the exp. date still days away. And the salad looked bad as well. Again, not worth $5 to drive all the way to Sam's to return it. But very disappointing that twice in a row I've purchased spoiled, unusable salad that was a week or more before the exp. date. I won't be purchasing it again anytime soon.

I bought this a couple of days ago, 4/16 to be exact. I'm so disappointed. I found bugs! There was brown ones and green ones. Dead ones and even live ones. Never had I had this happen to me. It was so infested. Honestly did not know what to do. Was not sure if I needed to call the store or just trash it. Did not think this was normal but it's never happened to me so I literally just thought about throwing it away.

I would not have purchased this box of Spring Mix, had I had time to do my own shopping. I was able to get only enough fresh greens out of it for a salad for three people. Especially after the fruit in my order, this was a real disappointment. I have never had much luck with this brand at Sam's, so usually by smaller amounts elsewhere.

I bought the best sample I could find at my local Sam's club and served it THAT DAY, but beforehand I had to go through the whole package and take out probably 1/4 of the lettuce leaves because they were rotten and disintegrating. I'm glad I did, though, because nestled right in the middle was a big ladybug! I'm completely grossed out and I be sure to never buy this product again.

We used to love this, but the last 4 times they have had wilted leaves mixed in, and it gave out a bad smell, even 4 days before "best before date". We returned one and decided to try one last time. It was the same rotten slimy leaves mixed in. Never again.

Be sure to check the bottom of this product for moisture. If there is a lot visible, pick another package. Immediately place a folded paper towel on top of salad (bottom too if possible) after opening. This will absorb the moisture and make the greens last longer.

This product would be great if you could eat it all the first day or second. However, it does not stay fresh much longer. As a single person, it is not a good buy. I like to buy organic foods, but can't consume this before it goes bad. Best for large families or parties.

5 STARS..... yeah just TRY to buy this size at other stores in organic!! Geez! Okay besides the other suggestions, i remove the leaves, put a paper towel on the bottom, fill 1/2 way put another then fill the rest and one on top! Paper towels do wonders for all leafy produce!!!

This Spring Mix offers a nice blend of flavorful lettuce. However, be mindful of a shorter shelf life; the salad tends to spoil before the expiration date -- despite the paper towel trick. Otherwise, it's a delicious and organic choice for those who appreciate mixed greens.
