Recently purchased plates are so heavily coated, I'm tearing plates trying to separate them from one another. This happens from time to time, LOVE these plates for safe microwave cooking for years now, but this batch is almost totally glued together....factory adjustment?

We are actually afraid to buy the amount that we usually buy which is 4 to 6. because of some of the reviews. So we only ordered one and then my husband opened up and they were exactly the same as what we already have because we were running out so that’s why I had to order. Been using these for years the packaging is different but the plates are the same as far as the ones we got anyway so yes I highly recommend these paper plates. I think they’re the best heavy duty plates that we’ve ever bought because I don’t like that China ones or whatever they are, those are way too expensive !

Great option that's not too bad on the environment and saves on dishes. I'm trying to stay away from Styrofoam and use something a little more environmentally friendly so these are a good stop gap that's still very cheap. When there's a party or event I still get the higher quality paper plates though.

Been using these for many years. The only problem I have with them is they are usually stuck together and if you want to use one at a time you have to first pull them apart. Seem product control on these should be better, but they are the best price for this type of paper plate that fit our paper plate holders.

These are super strong and heavy duty. They are not waterproof. They are not bulletproof. Can you microwave on them? Absolutely! Are they good for covering things in the microwave? Unquestionably! Can you use them as cutting boards? Well, I sure do! Would you put an over easy egg on one? Absolutely not it would soak through. So, if used as intended, which would be as paper plates they are perfect. They are a good value. Used as a soup bowl or frisbee, you will be disappointed. They were also good for taking notes on and taping to the refrigerator.

I’ve been buying these paper plates for years. We use them for light snacks and meals so strength isn’t a necessity. I will state that they are thin and they are compressed in the packing process so the plates stick together and are difficult to separate (which causes waste of the unused plates).

The cost of paper products continues to get more out of control, like many other commodities. That being said, these always appear to be the best deal around... as long as one separates the doubles into singles. It's difficult to pass up the convenience of throw-aways, so these are recommended.

These are the best plates for the money. They’ve gone up a little in price but still the least expensive of any plates I could find. They are strong and just the right size for any meal. I love the smaller plates that Sam’s offers, too. I Hope they never stop carrying them. Highly recommend!!!

Have bought paper plates from Sam's Club for decades. We were caught short recently and bought from elsewhere. I didn't know that Quality meant something in paper plates. These are more robust than the other brand and I found that meant something when serving more substantial food with sauces and such. Never again will I let our stock get depleted.

It’s summer. I don’t like doing dishes. These have been around forever. What more can you say? The price for these come out to about .04 cents a plate. That’s a good price. And they’re pretty durable. Not durable like a regular paper plate, but I went to the dollar store to buy those plastic paper plate holders (yes, you can still buy those things and they’ve been around forever too) and these paper plates fit right into those little slots perfectly! NOW they’re durable. They don’t tear easily and they don’t soak through right away.
