My family had costco and sams for awhile, we dropped sams because they lacked selection.0

All this talk about Sam's Club and a Groupon arrived in my inbox. $45 for a year of Sam's Plus membership (normally about $99 I think). Plus they give you a $20 gift card, a roasted chicken, and some other goodies. Cool! I bought one. Made my way to Sam's to sign up. Apparently they started selling the Groupon's yesterday, but you can't start redeeming them until Friday. Fine print fail! I was a bit crestfallen having wasted time, but I got to poke around. My initial impression is that they have some great stuff by way of meats/cheeses/coconut oil, but the selection is not so great. Overall, it's a heck of deal. I'll have to go back Friday and get my card.0

As far as I can tell it's always $45 where I live.
Seems right to me it was $35 when I quit going there.0 -
I have a BJ's membership and have used it extensively over the last year to buy the following:
Bacon (3 pounds at BJ's cost the same as 2 pounds at wal mart pretty consistently).
Ground Beef
Pork Chops
Chicken Thighs
Fish Occasionally
Roasts occasionally
Eggs
Almond Milk
Heavy Cream
Cream Cheese
Shredded Cheese
Sliced Cheese
Deli Meat
Salsa
Coconut Oil
Butter
Nuts
Powerade Zero by the case
Paper Towels
Napkins
Toilet Paper
I don't have the amounts on the other things besides bacon, but every single one of these items is very consistently cheaper at BJ's per pound/unit/whatever than I could get anywhere else.
With the meats, I prefer to cook in bulk for most things, I don't like cooking in general, but I like leftovers.
We shop at BJ's too for all the items above except the powerade. Now that me and my hubby both are LCHF, it saves us money and smaller trips to the grocery stores and or local butcher are all we need. We also buy tons of fresh veggies and Atkins shakes by the case there because hubby uses them in his iced coffee.

The "Sam's Savings" regular membership is only $45. The business version is also $45. However, Sam's Plus is normally $100.monicapavlick wrote: »DonPendergraft wrote: »All this talk about Sam's Club and a Groupon arrived in my inbox. $45 for a year of Sam's Plus membership (normally about $99 I think).

How does theirs work? At costco, it is $99 for a premium membership but they give you 2% back on all purchases except gas. At the end of your membership year, they give you back your money if your 2% wasnt more than the $50 more it cost for the premium membership over the regular membership, so you dont lose any money going premium.0 -

A) I was never even offered the premium membership at Sam's
B ) Now I really want a Costco in my neighborhood0 -
So I made a BJ's run tonight and noted some prices:
Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter (no sugar added) - 2 jars for $8.29
Coconut Oil - $11.99, I can't remember how much, but I'm sure at Wal Mart the same thing is $14
1 pound deli hard salami - $5.99
1 pound Finlandia Swiss Cheese - 5.99
3 pounds shredded sharp cheddar - $9.99
6 pounds bacon - $15
85/15 Ground Beef - 3.89/lb, got about 5 pounds
Boneless center cut pork chops - $2.89/lb, got about 5 pounds
Perdue Chicken Thighs w/ skin, $0.99/lb, comes in 10-12 pound packages
3 dozen eggs - $4.99 (i usually buy 6 dozen at a time, we had some from a store nearby though)
I also get 50 pounds of IAMS dog food for my sister, that's $44 which they tell me is a spectacular price.
I'm in North Carolina in the US, for reference.0 -
Thanks so much. I signed up for their free 60 day membership, I'm gonna check it out this weekend.0

I shop at Sam's for chicken breast. $1.99/lb vs $3.99 at the grocery store. Ground beef is always cheaper too. And I always grab a box of baby spinach. It seems to stay fresh longer than the grocery store.0
