Enter to WIN a FREE Sam’s Club membership, and learn what I LOVE about Sam’s Club. Please note that I did work with Savings. com promoting this awesome giveaway, but as you’ll be able to tell all opinions are my own and I love my Sam’s!
You know that feeling when you find something that makes your life easier and it feels oh, so good? That’s how I feel about Sam’s Club. You see, I have a hard time finding the time to go to the grocery store. It’s just plain tough. So, when I can stock up on things that we buy often, life is good, my calendar frees up a bit and I can be with my family and friends more – win, win, right?
Anyone who’s been reading my blog for anytime knows how much I love Sam’s Club. It was such a happy day when I found out that we’d be getting our very own Sam’s Club in our town, less than 3 miles away from our home.
Often times, people who are not yet members of Sam’s Club will ask what I buy there, so I was happy when Sam’s Club wanted me to write a post on the things I love from their store, a coupon offering a $20 gift card when you sign up for membership, a GIVEAWAY that they’re doing (hello, awesome!) and their new Scan and Go app (my favorite thing about Sam’s Club!)
First things first, what do I buy at Sam’s? I LOVE Sam’s Club fruit. When I buy fruit at Sam’s Club the kids go bonkers over it. In the summer I end up buying four pounds of strawberries every time I go because they’re the best quality that I can find locally AND they’re also the cheapest, oftentimes working out to less than $2 per pound — a HUGE price break off of most of the grocery store prices. This is a benefit of shopping Sam’s Club to say the least.
The other things that I buy at Sam’s Club that are always on my list are: coffee, cereal, peanuts, shredded lettuce, Babybel cheese, watermelon, chips and …. donuts. They have the best small round powdered sugar donuts. I don’t buy them every single time I go, but I will admit that if the kids are having friends or cousins stay the night, donuts are on my list without a doubt. And, clothes – our son loves the Dri-fit material and Sam’s always has those shirts for less than $6!
And, while we’re talking about benefits of having a Sam’s Club membership, I’d also add that the savings of gas pays for my membership every year and then some. The Sam’s Savings $45 membership is the lowest among warehouse store membership fees, and I save anywhere from $2-$3 every time I fill up my gas tank and like I said, this pays for my membership. Another benefit of having a Sam’s Club membership is discounted gift cards. Our daughter invited a couple of her very best friends to Build a Bear for her birthday and I was able to get one girl’s bear for free just buy pre-purchasing the gift cards at Sam’s Club – hello, that’s a big deal!
I eluded to this earlier in the post, but Sam’s Club is also rolling out programs and tools to increase the convenience of shopping at their stores like self-checkout, online ordering/shipping to store for pickup and the Sam’s Club app. The Sam’s Club app that this is referring to is the Scan and Go app. This app is my jam. Once you get to your local Sam’s Club and you’ve already customized it with your payment options and Sam’s Club membership information, you simply scan the barcodes of everything as you add it to your cart. Then, when you get to the checkout lanes, you bypass them and press “checkout” in your app and pay via the payment option that you chose in your app. Simply show your barcode on your phone at the exit, the employee will verify that your items match to the items on the app and you walk out – paid and done! It’s the slickest thing since sliced bread! So, not only do I save money, but I also save time – YES!!
