We don’t live near a Sam’s club anymore, but kept our membership because you can order lots of items online with free shipping! It’s been a game changer for diapers, wipes, laundry detergent, etc. I always see what is on instant savings and stock up when we can on items we use.

I actually prefer Sam's over Costco. I have a small family so I don't want giant jars I can't finish. Here they will have 3-4 smaller jars to the 1 or 2 at Costco. More portioned out an easier to use.

Scan and Go is the best thing ever invented. It's the only good implementation I've ever seen of this at stores. I feel SO AMAZING when I swipe right and walk past the checkout lines the moment I'm ready to leave the store.

Groupon often has promos. As a one-person household, I am able to buy numerous items at Sam's that I stick up on. My regular purchases are: frozen fruits, half & half, butter, bakery muffins and turnovers, Green Mtn K-Cups, pet supplements and pill pockets, trash bags, TP, paper towels,. Oxyclean. My nextdoor neighbor (also a one-person household) belongs to Costco. We shop for each other at the club stores so we each get to benefit from the sales at each warehouse club.

The cash back I get from the Plus membership is often around $150, so totally worth it depending on how much you spend. Plus the early shopping hours are 👌🏼

I bought the restaurant size foil at Costco and I’m on year 6 and still got plenty on the roll. I bought a back up roll in March 2020 just because I was stocking up so can you even imagine how much money I’m saving by not buying foil for the next 8 years with these price increases!

Their TP (purple wrapper) and their paper towels (orange wrapper) are far and away the BEST paper goods I've used. The TP is on par with any 'fancy' stuff out there, and for cheaper. The rolls are also about 1/2" wider than Quilted Northern, meaning you get just a little more product on each roll! I actually just looked it up: Member's Mark is 1254.3sf (total over 45 rolls) for $19.98 (44c/roll) Quilted Northern is 915.3sf (total over 32 rolls) for $21.98 (67c/roll) And their paper towels are just as good, on par or better than Bounty! Over the past year or so, we've cut down on the amount of PTs we use, so this isn't the same as everyone, but a 35-pk of paper towels has lasted us almost a full year! The package we're using now was purchased in September '21, and we have 2 rolls left! Also, they're "select-a-size," so you can pull off a half-sheet, if that's all you need (and ususally is, because they're so good).

Have I ever been to Sam's Club? No. Do I live anywhere near a Sam's Club? No. Am I still watching? Absolutely.

I think one of the most important things while shopping at Sam's Club (we just got our membership a month or so ago) is knowing what is a good price and what isn't. We found a lot of the fresh food couldn't beat our local Kroger (even the meat). For us, the best buys are household cleaners and bathroom items (deodorant, toothpaste, etc).

My favorite thing to buy at Sam’s is their rotisserie chicken. It’s delicious and you can cut it up and use it for 2 or 3 recipes. I’m a retired single so I only shop there if I can store the large quantities they have. My church gets most of their supplies there as they are much cheaper and better quality than anywhere else; e.g. TP, paper towels, office supplies, etc.

Love the scan and go app! I’ve noticed some items have extra instant savings if you use the app. I also like that I can look up items online before I go to the store to check price and availability.

I never paid attention to their free prescriptions before - thanks for listing them. I have three on that list. That will make a difference and get me in the store more.

My favorite tip for Sam's membership is to get the business membership for $100 a year because I live over an hour from any club but I can order all of my non fresh food items and have them delivered to my home for free! Laundry soap, personal care, any type of snack foods or shelf stable foods, paper towels, paper plates, toilet paper etc. Best investment because I know I will most likely get it at the best price and I get the advantage of stocking up without having to use the gas to drive an hour to get what I want!

My favorite thing about Sam's club is Plus membership I believe that it's so worth it. You get 2% back, you can come into store at 8:00 a.m., and shipping for a lot of things is free.

Hey, you know how you tell us to hit the like button and it will turn blue? Now it has little confetti pieces and flashes different colors. So cool!

We have the plus membership, I love it for the earlier hours availability , free shipping and cash back. The cash alone has paid for itself.

Facts about the Membership Deals. When it was time for renewal, I got the super bowl deal by having my husband sign up. So we got a Membership for only $8. When I got a Membership it was a 20 dollar on Groupon. I still have yet to pay full price for a Membership. :)

Sharing things like the rice and large lb items is always good, with a friend/neighbor. Beans, bread, rice, etc if you don't have room. Great video!

This video is so well put together. Thanks for all the information. I wish you so much success!

Absolutely love the scan and go! Use it all the time. Best way to shop! Love your tips!!

Love the scan & go! It's also available @ the gas station which really speeds up the line there! Glad to know about the rx info. I take at least 3 of those so that will save me a bundle throughout the year. Thanks for the info on the codes too.

Our local SC is really promoting the scan and go right now but I've been using it for years. Never knew about the letter on price signs though so thanks for the heads up on that one. For snacks I usually only get Annies Boom Chicka Pop and the Canyons potato chips. So good/great price. Might have to finally breakdown and get those Aussie bites.

I work for Sam's and girl you are fantastic and gave us justice. Nailed everything on the head. Enjoyable watch js 😀 P.S Rotisserie Chickens 4.98 best deal in the store !

Thanks for sharing! In Michigan, you can also get liquor and tobacco products without having a membership. The state law highly regulates the prices on those things and businesses have to offer fair & equal pricing on those items regardless of membership status (it is like that in several other states, too).

I just found your channel a few days ago and am obsessed with your videos!! I relate to you so much, love your dollar tree and house organization videos, and well all of them. Love from Alberta, 🇨🇦

I went to Sam's club yesterday and bought 2 paperback books that I had been waiting for. Good prices. Also brought lunch home to hubby, yummy turkey wraps.

YES! I love Sam's Club for so many things. I recommend getting your big bulk rice, pinto beans, and oil, as well as spices and other long term preparedness items there.

I love Sam’s for so many reasons. The free delivery with the plus membership is awesome. Saves time and money. Only order once a month. Also have a Costco membership their cake is the best. Full sheet cakes for $20. Grand parties, baby showers and birthdays always my go to.

The Sam's club plus membership is worth the extra cost. Curbside pickup is free so I can order what we need and not end up with impulse purchases. You get 2% Cashback on in club and curbside pickup purchases and you can order online and have some items shipped for free.

Nice tip about the clearance and letter labels! We also love the scan and go app!

We have the plus membership and the Sam’s MasterCard, which we use to pay for pretty much everything, and the rewards-now called Sam’s Cash-are enough to pay for our membership AND stock our meat freezers a couple times a year. If you can handle having a credit card, it’s a solid hack!

Yes I just got my membership and will be going on Friday. Thanks for this video, it will definitely help!

Yours was the only video I watched that actually provided useful info. And you are a good presenter, too. Thank you for this. I appreciate your content, and I know it's way more work than people think. ❤️

My husband and I eat at Sam’s Cafe at least once a week for lunch after filling our vehicle with gas. We buy our tires from Sam’s because they offer the best deal on our truck tires. My husband loves their ready made white chicken enchiladas and I love their sushi. We buy so much more from Sam’s as well, those are just our favorites.

I adore Sam’s grocery pickup! It keeps me in budget and I can usually get my order the very next day. Sometimes even in the same day! It’s a huge time saver. We love Walmarts pickup as well.

If I ever see you in real life I would so ask for a hug! You definitely don't know it but you have helped me a lot to recover from having a baby and being comfortable in how I shop for my family! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for posting this video it was very informative. I’m taking a trip to Sam’s club today and I wanted to be sure that my trip was successful. Thanks again for posting it was very informative.

Thank you Christine, I never knew that about the letters on the price tags. Their soft pretzels at the Cafe' are also good.

I'm glad I watched this today, cuz I'm going to Sams Club today. I'm sure to use this information to my benefit. Thanks from here in Arizona. 😊

I love to write dates on things see how long it last, I do same thing on dressing and sauces etc in the fridge, so easy to forget how many years you've had something...LOL I also write 1 of 5 or 1 of 3 or what ever helps keep track of how many I have left in storage.

WOW 🤩. You’ve really helped us by shopping. You explained discounts, sales & discontinued products. I’ve always shopped online because I get out of hand whenever I’m in a store. The last time I went to the store I had 3 overflowing shopping carts. But next month when I get my monthly Social Security check I’m going to the store. I’m going to bring cash with me so I do not spend my entire monthly money. But thank you so much truly your magnificent

In our area both the scan and go and the order online for pickup saves the cost of sales tax on your order. Sales tax on non food items is usually almost 10% and they cover that if you do pickup or scan and go. I’ve also seen a monthly sweepstakes where every scan and go was entered in a random drawing for a $1,000 gift card. Also, for our flu shot last year Sams pharmacy with the premium membership was much cheaper than anywhere else. Even using insurance. We saved more than the difference between the basic membership and the premium in just the cost savings on the vaccines for my wife and I.

Definitely getting the Sam's Club membership! Loving this video Christine!💓💞

We love Sam’s Club! The club manager at our club provides the best customer service!

The plus membership is great, $100, but you get cash back. I always end up with about $150 a year back, so it more than pays for itself. There is free shipping on most things as well. I can order things, not only for my family to be shipped to our house, but they will also deliver to my mom's house too and she doesn't have a membership, its just through mine. In her area, they do delivery to the house too. There are also deals on medicine, optical, tires, etc.

Thanks for sharing the video about the deals at Sam's Club.

I love sams for many items, toilet paper & paper towels are great. I also shop online and they will load my car. There are no minimums, I have picked up lettuce & Blueberries, with no problem

Hard for me to pass up the $5 rotisserie chicken. Best tasting and biggest anywhere. I get at least 3 meals from it.

Great tips! I used to buy baby formula & diapers from Sam's. Bigger packages meant not having to shop as often and the prices were fantastic.

Excellent review. Thank you!

How about buying a bottle of water for a quarter! That is right a quarter, I shop, then on the way out I stop at the vending machine to get my water. Nice & cold. I do like the $100 yr membership, besides getting in the store much earlier, I can shop on line & get free shipping.. Love their return policy, never any issues. So many reasons to shop Sam's.

We love Sams Club. Unfortunately ours closed and there are none in my state anymore. We used to do the plus membership because if you spend enough there through the year you get money back and it always paid for our membership. We are Costco members now. When I was single many years ago I had the Sams club membership and my roommate had the costco membership. It was wonderful.

Oh…those Aussie bites are heaven in a bite! I luuuuve them. Great video. I’ve been a Sam’s shopper for 30 years & didn’t know the coding. You taught an old dog new tricks.

We are a small family of three (plus 3 cats), so I've never had a membership to a store like Sam's because large bulk buys don't seem like the smart way to go on most items. But now that we're all doing the 'what if' prepping, I',m seeing it in a different light. And last year, my YA daughter's boyfriend (Sam Club member) bought me a ginormous 15-rolls pkg of Sam's paper towels, said he paid around $16 for it. OMGsh - best paper towels ever! That pkg lasted almost a year I'm very tempted to join just to get those, lol. Thanks for the tip about waiting until they have membership promos!

Super interesting tips! Did not realize the difference between Costo and Sam's Club. Thank you!

Love watching the Sam's Club videos even though we do not have one in our state! In fact, Christine, I think your Sam's Club would be my closest! A 12 hour drive! I live where Costco started! Would like to have a opportunity to go to a Sam's Club! Have a great day! Take care!👍😊

you are awesome,valuable information.thanks for sharing.

I use the plastic bags from grocery stores as garbage bags & soil bags for trash. The big, netted plastic pet food bags I use to put kitchen compost in, they have added strength.

My hubby freaked out when I used the scan an go for the first time. He told me to get in line and I laughed and said paid for while I handed my phone to the kid at the door. Was not standing in line for 3 things. Plus the scan and go works for the gas pumps also.

Great tips! Just a side note on the "membership not required" at the food court.... The food court at the Sam's in our area (NorCal) has a sign that says membership required, so maybe it varies per store or state.

In November of 2020 we bought a box of two rolls of trash bags from Sams for $15. As of today 5/12/22 we still have just under half a roll. We go through so many trash bags and it’s unbelievable how long it has lasted us!

If you aren't sure about the membership you can also ask friends to take you and have a look. If you want something you can give/send them the money. I did that with a membership market here.

Cafe Suggestion- there's a really fancy (and expensive) churro & ice cream shop where I live. Took the kids to Sam's instead, spent about $7 and everyone had churro & fro yo!

There are often discounts on the subscription through some employers and sites like Tickets at Work. The cash back on premium pays for the expanded membership if you shop there often enough for the family. We also order online and have it delivered.

I love scan and go in the store and using it at the pump. I also have the Sam's Mastercard Plus membership which is $100 a year which includes the card and the membership. I more than make that back each year in cash back and can be used everywhere. My very favorite thing is pickup. I like to go in the store for fresh meat and produce, but it sure is nice to have pickup for charcoal, pop, and things like cases of water.

You’re amazing girl. Thank you.

I like to order online from Sam's. I go through Rakuten and get money back. I go to the store for pick up and they load my items in the car for me. I have the Plus card and get money back and just recently got a Mastercard credit card that pays even more money back on all of my purchases, including gasoline. When the bill comes on I pay it off (same as paying cash as I go). Since February, I've earned almost $50, which I can apply towards purchases or I can get it back in cash. It's been working great for me.

Love the 13 Sam's Club Grocery Shopping Hacks 💕

Memberships are $8 right now! until the 26th of June! I'm about to sign up for the first time. thanks for the video! 😊

I definitely didn't know about the 10 free medicine with the plus membership!!! That was a great tip as I take one of the medicines in the list often. Thank you

Great video! I’m going to Sam’s tomorrow to get stuff for vacation next week at Myrtle Beach! I like the tips about the letters snd what they mean! By the way, I love your Spinderlla tshirt, I want one now. Lol!!!!

Thx for the pharmacy hack, just moved over 3 of my husband's medications from Walmart and now they are free. The pharmacist stated "that our other medications may also come out cheaper at Sam's club pharmacy, then using our insurance". Can't wait to find out!

I just signed up for a membership this morning before seeing this video was posted! Right now they have a deal - $14.99 for the membership and they give you a $10 gift card back, so basically like a $5 membership!

I got the plus membership when we bought tires there. Great perks and they come with roadside assistance like AAA. I signed up for the sams credit card and got $10 for doing so Not the best APR but if you pay as you go it's got great perks. If I make 2 scan n go purchases this month I get $10 back. Plus you earn money for all your purchases. My fave item is the dehydrated hash browns...best deal ever.

@FrugalFitMom just got a coupon deal yesterday for the $45 membership with $45 credit in store and went and signed up. 👌 my mom used to work at Sam's Club before she passed away. It was a bitter sweet visit to be in there. Oh, and gas 4.19 and long lines.

We definitely do the cheap date nights at either Sam's or Costco. We call it our clubbin' night!

I had no idea about the Letters, I’m all the time saying, let me think on this and then I go back and it’s gone. Thank you so much for sharing this!

The price tag tips are golden!! Thanks !!

We have a lakehouse so I try to limit the amount of dishes we have to wash. We always have a lot of guests so Sam's Club paper plates are a must have! We cook most everything on our grills and smokers so we buy the packs of aluminum pans at Sam's Club. They are the best price in our area and great quality.

I go with my BFF and we split cost on bulk items. It helps both of us since we each live in smaller houses.

Super informative! Thanks 🤩

I avoided using Scan and Go for quite some time - I thought the scanner (your smartphone's camera) wouldn't work that good and I would end up frustrated - that wasn't the case - if anything the scanning is almost "too good". You just have to get in the habit of scanning items before you put them in your cart. After your second trip you'll be a "pro". The ability to head out the door on a busy Saturday morning is AWESOME!

I'm not a Sam's Club member, but I still like seeing what you recommend, and I love your enthusiasm! You should have bought those toffee truffles. =)

The closest Sam’s to us is now and hour away but we have the plus membership so we get free shipping and are able to order things we need that way. I also have the Sam’s credit card and use it to pay bills, gas and groceries. I pay it in full at the end of the month. This allows us to earn cash back which pays for the membership. We used to purchased 25 lb bags of jasmine at a small Asian grocery store but after the price went up we looked for a different option. We were so happy to find jasmine rice at Sam’s for such a great price.

We prefer Costco but every couple of years we join Sam’s. This year the deal was get $45 membership and get a $45 Sam’s gift card-what a deal! Great hints/tips

I go with my mom to Sam's about once a month or so (I have a Costco membership and she has Sam's so we take each other) and I always grab a pack of those cheese crackers. Such a great "here have this" snack when the kids get hungry between meals. Otherwise I miss when our store had fire Roasted tomatoes 😭 idk why they didn't have them last time I went but I hope they come back soon

The last time I bought plastic wrap and aluminum foil...my oldest was a baby. He's 15 now and both rolls are still going strong. Huge rolls.

Great info! Thank you :)

I have Walmart + and use Scan & Go almost every time I shop in store. It is amazing!!!

Another great deal are the bags chips, pretzel, tostito, cheeto, dorito section. The prices at the grocery stores is generally around the same, but the bags are more then half a size smaller then at Sam’s.

That was seriously helpful and greatly appreiciated.

Dang good video, gonna get a sams card thanks to you. That scan app is a must !

My husband and I go to Sam's without the kids so it's kinda like a date. Before all the crazy price increases, we used to get ice cream when we were out just the two of us, and it would be around $10. But you can get two sundaes for under $5 at Sam's. So if you want a treat, like after your kids win a game or something, you can't beat it. Same for the pizza or hot dogs. If you're out and about and need to eat. Don't go through a drive thru, go to Sam's. Super cheap meal if you aren't able to eat at home.

Those toffee truffles are ADDICTIVE!!!! Ask me how I know????? You had more will power than I did. :) Love your videos. Well wishes from Nebraska!

Thanks so much! I asked and you delivered!

I noticed one day, a trailer set up in front of Sam's selling Key Making. I think they handled those expensive key fobs that have clickers. Those are not cheap other wise. Yes Walmart & Sam's allows overnight parking when closed.

Great Program.

I’m an English person who has never, and mostly like won’t, stepped foot in Sams Club. But I love this kinda video!

All great tips I learned a lot one question I might have how do you find out when they lower the price on a membership?

thanks for the info🌹👍
