I don't understand why Sam's would replace a name brand product with a members mark product that is lacking in quality. They did the same with craisins, thankfully they went back to the Craisins brand. As for the Members Mark almonds they will be going in the garbage.

The salt doesn't properly stick to these almonds, and they are of poor quality when compared to the blue diamond almonds. This makes them difficult to snack on and enjoy. I was very disappointed to hear out stores weren't carrying the blue diamond anymore.

I just purchased these because the Blue Diamond brand wasn't in stock, so I thought I'd try these since many Sam's products are as good as the name brand. Unfortunately, these are not nearly as good as the Blue Diamond brand. They seem to be harder to chew than Blue Diamond (I have an upper denture) and don't taste as good. The package claims the same salt content as Blue Diamond but they seem to be much less salty tasting. There are adequate but I would not purchase them again unless they can make them like the Blue Diamond brand.

While we're generally okay with Member's Mark products, we have bought our first and last bag of these almonds. Compared to the Blue Diamond lightly salted almonds that we always kept in hand, these are hard, dry and far less flavorful. On top of that, the cheap packaging is a royal pain as it is almost impossible to get the tiny 'zipper' lined up, making it very hard to reseal the bag. But then, given the initial quality of the almonds, it's doubtful they could dry out any more if you left the bag open.

Went to my local club to get my usual Blue Diamond and the club no longer sells them. So I am forced to try these instead. Where is the salt? This item is being advertised as 'lightly salted', and even the photo on the front of the package shows the salt crystals on the almonds, I could not taste any salt at all! The almonds themself are also darker in color than what I am used to see from the name brand, not that that is a major concern. They did seem to have a slightly different texture than the name brand but not really in a bad way. Until the factory gets the salt injectors fixed, steer away from these. Before you leave the club, check your bag because the service desk is just around the corner for that refund.

I prefer the Blue Diamond lightly salted. It has the same sodium level and calories but has a better salty taste compared to the members mark brand. If MM brand has a recipe change I would consider trying again. They are good but I don't plan to purchase again. I will stick to blue diamond brand.

I was hoping this would be a cheaper version of the Blue Diamond almonds but it's not. Almonds are the most expensive part of this, they skimped out on the salt. I don't need a lot of salt but most of these basically were plain and some had such little, I could barely tell. Easy fix, unless BD makes it and don't want to take away from their profits by selling their bag, which has a good reasonable amount of salt.

In comparison to the Blue Diamond lightly salted almonds, the Members Mark almonds are inferior. They are smaller, drier and less tasty than the Blue Diamonds. I will not be purchasing them again. Please bring back the Blue Diamond Lightly Salted almonds.

We usually get the Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds. They are no longer available in store so we bought Member's Mark. These are a big downgrade. The Blue Diamond ones are soft and large and have so much taste. These are smaller, dried up and hard with not much taste at all. The lower price of Member's Mark was not worth the much lower quality. We discovered we are able to order the Blue Diamond ones on line and have them shipped so that is what we are doing. Do not recommend.

Pretty terrible compared to Blue Diamond which they no longer carry in the store for some reason. I've bought the Blue Diamond forany, many years and this is what Sam's typically does, try and go with their house brand which in some cases is pretty darn good but not with these almonds. Poor quality and bad flavor.
