Shopping for groceries and household supplies can sometimes boil down to just one basic question - should you just go ahead and buy that thing in bulk? For things like toilet paper, canned goods, and other items that don’t spoil, bulk purchasing is a great idea, and warehouse stores like Sam’s Club are here to help you out.
However, like other warehouse stores, Sam’s Club requires you to pay an annual fee in order to shop at their stores and get in on the big savings. Are you truly getting the best deals out of your membership card?
Check out these huge mistakes everyone makes when shopping at Sam’s Club.

Sprite drinks, Red Baron pizzas, Waffles fries and Ballpark Hot dogs. When I'm at Sam's club.

Rotisserie chicken, tortillas. The last couple years I've been getting Sam memberships for free cuz they do a deal. By a membership and then get that back in Sam's credit which you can spend in the store. So it's free

I find produce to be superior. Gas savings pays for yearly membership fees. Superior almond butter.

They do catch alot of people with their dining area. A good portion of the store's profit comes from people buying their pizza.

Like the hot dogs, but ours removed Diet Coke from the fountain, leaving only diet Pepsi. IMHO it isn't worth drinking. Go to eat elsewhere now. SAMS loss

The hotdogs in particular are a loss leader at warehouse clubs, I know Costco's are. They sell a premium quality hotdog w/a small da for $1.50! No way they're making money on that. The pizza is huge and only $9.99!

I may not live near a Sam's Club but I do live near a Costco. The same applies to them too

Always know your prices at regular grocery stores, purchasing with coupons or not, and that way you’ll know if Sam’s prices are good deals

The book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels is good. It uses a mindfulness and meditation approach to get to the root. It's fun too. It's easy to overspend without the right perspective of self.

I live in s single person household and surprisingly I sa e more than enough on items to justify the membership costs. Being disabled I Remy in my local grocery store for weekly items but they deliver and while great, the prices are high. So my neighbor makes a Sam's run for me every 4-6 weeks. Things I save most in: dairy--milk, 1/2 & 1/2 butter; canned veggies although the MM brand has been out of stock since the pandemic; MM OTC pharmacy items; kcups; and some dog supplements. I also bought my last set of tires at Sam's. Great prices and excellent service!

What was it last week Sam's club sent me an email telling me that if I buy the $45 membership they will give me a gift card of $45 so sent in what the hell let's do this so I went in there and they gave me the gift card so it's almost practically that I got the card or the membership for free almost

Good video. I noticed items of low quality at Sams. The Jacks frozen pizzas are not as cheesy as ones at the regular grocery. I bet they are packaged specifically for Sams so the manufacturer skimps on them. The socks used to be decent but now are too tight and not good material. Dishes break easy. LED lights run through batteries in a day or two and not even on. Prices have gone up too high. In just a few years the dog food I got went up $25. I noticed alot of things have increase in price 20% or more. It's not a deal compared to the grocery store. Plus, getting out of the store is a PITA. With the new AI nonsense I now wait in line to checkout, wait past the AI gate to box up my stuff, then wait to have my receipt scanned. I used to scan stuff at the self checkout and box it up then. Then just had to have the employee scan my receipt and I was gone. Lastly they've given everyone and their mother a membership now so you have all the nitwits taking up too much space and blocking isle like they're the only person in the world. I'm going to let my membership expire. It's not worth it.

Sixty-one, almost sixty-two years young. Never had a membership to one of these places or any others like them. I'm not against them. I am just set in my old boring ways. 😴
