cheap price! GREEN!

I was kind of turned away at first.....cause the bananas are so green! LOL....and when I buy bananas I like to eat one that same day! LOL....but don't like the "chalky taste" of a green banana.....but I've learned to stock up when the batch starts dwindling in my fruit bowl so I always have some on hand.......one thing I noticed is that they do ripen FAST! Sometimes faster than others......so I typically split them apart from the bunch and keep them all seperate.....wrap the ends of each banana in plastic wrap. They seem to keep longer this way.....if they start getting too brown, I'l throw them into a plastic bag and into the freeezer for my post-workout protein shake ;) Sam's has got the best price for bananas in my town ;)

GREEN BANANAS OF VERY POOR QUALITY.

I RECEIVED COMPLETELY GREEN, POOR QUALITY BANANAS, THAT WERE BOUGHT FOR ME BY THE 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE USED BY SAM'S CLUB FOR ONLINE DELIVERY ORDERS IN OUR AREA, EVEN THOUGH I SPECIFIED, "NO GREEN BANANAS" - IN MY NOTE TO THE SHOPPER, I RECEIVED COMPLETLEY GREEN BANANAS! SAM'S CLUB 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE IN OUR AREA IS TERRIBLE! I HAVE HAD REPEATED DELIVERY ISSUES, AND NO ONE HERE AT OUR LOCAL SAM'S CLUB, OR AT SAM'S CLUB ONLINE, KNOWS HOW TO CONTACT THEIR 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE! THE SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE WANTS YOU TO TIP THEIR SHOPPERS WHEN YOU CHECK OUT ONLINE, BEFORE YOUR ORDER IS SHOPPED AND DELIVERED. IT'S LIKE EXPECTING YOU TO TIP YOUR WAITER FOR YOUR FOOD BEFORE IT IS SERVED TO YOU. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE YOUR TIP TO THE DELIVERY PERSON ONCE YOU ENTER IT AT THE ONLINE CHECKOUT, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ONLINE YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR TIP IF YOU HAVE DELIVERY ISSUES.

Thanks!

As a local small business owner with limited storage space & high volume product, it is certainly nice & reassuring to have the Sams Club team put in the extra effort in assisting me with my order. Love the app, the email notifications & the great customer service that management provides. Keep up the great work! Steve

Quite Tasty!

I recently picked up a bunch of Dole Bananas, and I have to say they’re quite tasty! I’d rate them a solid 4 stars. They have the perfect balance of sweetness and firmness, making them great for snacking, adding to smoothies, or even baking into banana bread. While they’re not the absolute best bananas I’ve ever had, they consistently deliver quality and flavor. The 3 lb. pack is a nice size for keeping our fruit bowl stocked throughout the week. If you’re looking for reliable and delicious bananas, I definitely recommend giving these a try!

Never ripen

Decided to take a chance and had these delivered with some other items I got a solid green batch and they never ripened, stayed green for 6 days at which point they started to have an alcohol sort of odor and I disposed of them Seems to be a recurring thing when I get Dole bananas from Sam's so never again

Dole brand has fruit flies

Usually Sam's club organic bananas are the best (organic bananas are supposed to be green because they don't get sprayed with the chemical that turns bananas yellow). The Dole ones they have in stock right now are full of fruit flies. I put them back.

I'm bananas for bananas

This is not so. I do not like bananas. But I do add them into our nutritional shakes that I make for my husband and I every morning. These are a great value and I buy them every week. I do go to a produce market weekly but I always pick these and a few other staples from the produce area at Sam's due to their quality and value.

Doubtful

It's been three days and my bananas haven't ripened. It looks like they have freezer damage. I would think you would get that in the wintertime, but it is June. I don't think they will. It seems useless. Maybe, they picked them really green and rely on gas. Food labeling laws don't require them to tell us anything or the store clerks. You pay more for a health food store, but the Clerks there have answers about your food.

Green Bananas do not ripen

Be careful not to buy them when they are green. I am allergic to green bananas, but not yellow sugar spotted bananas. This last batch rotted green. I tried one that had softened and learned a valuable lesson about not eating softened green bananas...

Cheap but still a waste of money

We stopped buying the organic bananas from Sam's because they refuse to ripen. They will literally turn brown and still be hard, chalky and gross. We didn't give up after a couple times either. We stupidly bought them twice a month for around 2 years. At first it was about 1/6 times they'd be bad. Then it progressed to becoming nearly every time we'd buy them. We had enough after we had a batch make zero ripening results after 3 straight weeks.
