Great value for in-the-shell peanuts. The quality would have been 5/5 also if not for the amount of broken shells in the bag. Product has great taste.

So good, so fresh and great quality. SOOOOOooo much better than planters which their salted peanuts taste old and you get a lot of bad ones. I think planters gets by on their name because their quality is poor

There is nothing wrong with these peanuts. Buy them. These shelled peanuts offer the good original shelled flavor. Obviously when you eat a shelled peanut its gonna be different each time. Those flavors are good and that is why you like the shelled peanuts right? You cannot compare Shelled peanuts to Planters/Other brand "non-shell" canned peanuts. If you are a pre-canned loving peanut person that is too lazy to crack open a peanut shell for the delicious shelled flavor, than obviously these are not the peanuts for you and you should not be reviewing them as badly because you don't understand the taste of a shelled peanut. All in all these are good peanuts and I have been eating them nonstop. I am literally eating them as i'm typing this review. The people that down-vote these peanuts obviously don't understand the difference. Get a bag and enjoy.

This 5# bag of roasted, salted peanuts is an awesome product and great value. Then why has my Sam's Club stopped carrying this product? I'm sure it is going to be replaced with a smaller size for more money. That is only a guess, but I have yet to see a new product to replace something they've had for years and years. More info, please. parkergal

We've tried several brands of salted peanuts over the years. These are consistently the best we can find in most places. We've been very disappointed with Planter's brand (overcooked, burn flavor) and have requested Sam's Club stores in several locations to stock the Hampton Farms brand. We always try to have an extra couple 5 lb bags to avoid running out in the "off season".

I never thought I would be debating the quality of a bag of peanuts, but apparently someone else got a bad bag of these. I have been buying these at Sam's for years and have never found a problem. Yes, there is an occasional bad one, but that's true of any bag of peanuts. I like the degree of saltiness used. And, of course, you always wish that every peanut was big. The only better peanuts I have had were in Emporia, Virginia, the Peanut Capital. I don't recall Sam's carrying Planter's, but whatever I bought before the Hampton brand was about the same.

Fun and healthy snack! Will definitely continue to purchase.

I echo other reviews don't buy these many undersized or rotten peanuts

These were stale, soft, and with a bad aftertaste.

Not as good as they used to be. There were a lot of bits and pieces and they didn't taste that good.
