We see regular deals on a Sam’s Club membership and you might have pondered if you really would use it.  While it won’t fully replace the grocery store, there are a lot of items that Sam’s had a great prices on and having a membership will usually pay for itself in savings very quickly.

Right now you can get a one year Sam’s Club membership for only $20 .  It’s regularly $50, so it’s a great deal to sign up with!

If you don’t have a membership let me just share a few great reasons why it’s totally worth getting a free membership (not that you should need to think too hard about it though).

8 Reasons to Have A Sam’s Membership:

Club Value Sizes
While you may not want bulk sizes for everything, there are ton of items that priced out per serving or ounce are a great price at Sam’s.  Plus we all have items we wish came in larger sizes when we are grocery shopping… now they do!  

Instant Savings Deals
On top of the value size discounts, Sam’s regularly offers Instant Savings deals with thousands in savings all over the store.  This includes every department with hundreds of participating items.  When you checkout you’ll see the savings automatically apply.

Scan & Go Shopping 
Can I just say this is possibly the best thing they’ve ever done?!  Download the Sam’s App on your smartphone and as you put items in your cart scan the product barcodes.  When you are done shopping you can checkout right on your app and head straight to the exit.  You’ll skip all the checkout lines and be done shopping super fast!  

Curbside Pickup
If you already know what you need, then skip going in and order everything online!  You can pull up to the store and get your entire order brought straight to the car.  We’ve even used this a lot with BIG orders in the past for Church catering events and American Heritage Girls troop events.

Extra fun perk: At some locations you even get a goodie bag filled with free samples when you pick up your order!

Clearance Deals
I’m a bit of a clearance junkie, and Sam’s has some sweet deals when they run markdowns.  You’ll find them scattered around the store and even some online.  Best times to check at right after an Instant Savings sale ends (towards the end of each month) after holidays and seasonal special items end.  A recent find for us, was a big Stanley Vacuum Insulated Thermos marked down to $6.99 (reg. $20).

Discounted Gift Cards
If you want to save on eating out, travel and entertainment make sure to take advantage of their gift card deals!  They have lots of offers in your local club, but also hundreds more online!  Many will save you an easy 25% off the full price of the gift cards.  Grab $50 in gift cards to favorite restaurants and pay only $37.50!

Gas Savings
Every trip to Sam’s isn’t complete without filling up the car gas tank.  I wish we lived closer so we could get all our gas there!  With your membership you easily get the lowest prices with their gas discounts.  Compared to stations in our area, they tend to always be 10¢ or more per gallon cheaper!
