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.

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).

I take the opportunity to show my kids that very thing - taking the total amount/items for something and dividing it by the price.

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.

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!

Thanks for this! I've had a Costco membership for years but I'm new to Sam's. Got a cheap membership this year to try it out. $19.99 with a free rotisserie chicken and pack of cupcakes!

I love the idea of dating the foil to see how long it lasts! I paused the video to mark the plastic wrap I opened last week lol

@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.

I didn't date my Parchment paper but wish I had! It comes in a 2 pack and I think I bought it years ago! I use it all the time because it makes cooking and clean up so much easier!!

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

We love Sams. We always use their Scan and Go because I hate lines. Lol Plus my daughter loves to scan things and keeps her entertained while we shop.

My fav tip is with that membership you get a second complimentary one free. So family or friends can go in it together.

Dawn power wash 3 pk. Cheapest price around. Same with Lysol toliet cleaner 3 pk. I stock up on ziplock freezer bags. Best price. Sam’s brand trash bags. Paper plates, foil tins, plastic cups all best prices. Also at holidays I buy their nicer dinnerware sets. Oh soil for garden!!! Oh my gosh compare prices hands down beat everyone in my area. I ordered those online and did a pick up which meant they lugged it and loaded in my car. Also ordered charcoal - best prices, too. I use their app constantly to compare prices when I’m shopping at other stores. Did not know that about wm/Sam’s gift cards interchangeable. How did I miss that memo??? Cool info on the sign letters!!! Thanks!!! I will need to check more ibotta deals for Sam’s. Missed that as well. Thx!!!

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. =)

I usually get my protein shakes at Sam’s club as it’s the cheapest compared to other places

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.

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.

I eat a vegan, mostly raw diet - lots of salads/veggies/smoothies - and I cannot stress to people enough *if you are trying to eat healthy on a budget Sam's club and costco are a must* the big tubs of organic salad mix are like under $4 and you cannot get that kind of a price at any grocery store. Bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, etc..excellent quality at super affordable prices. I couldn't afford to eat as well as I do if it wasn't for those memberships.

I get more dried beans & dried rice from food banks than I need. Both can be placed in clean socks, tied off, microwaved for warmth & healing.

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.
