Last year I paid $45 for membership.
This year they want $50. I’ll pass this time.
Mostly because the nearest one is 80 miles away!
(Altho it is in the same town as 1/2 my grandkids!)

Last year I got costco membership, paid $40 probably since I’ve used only one or twice. So as you said if people think they will use sam’s club then it is a good deal. Otherwise, they shoudl pass on that.

I was interested to find out that a business membership to Sams was $10 cheaper than an individual membership. I signed up under my business name and all they needed to see was a business card to get the membership. They also offer perks to business members like early morning shopping before they open to the general public. I like that because I can shop without the crowds.

I heard the same ad in the greater Phoenix area, but I don’t remember if it said a specific day.

This is really smart of Sam’s Club to do this. I’m not sure if there will be enough savings for $10 membership. Maybe it’s just me – but I never thought the deals were that great. Don’t forget they don’t accept coupons!

It’s available in Oregon on the Pacific Coast – but the nearest Sam’s is over 90 miles away – so why are they even advertising it on our little station that only reaches 20 miles in each direction? LOL!

This sounds like a great deal, but a year long membership costs $40, or about $.77 a week. With ten weeks left in the year, that would be $7.7 dollars. So the $10 membership is actually slightly more expensive than the yearly rate.

However, if you can stock up on a lot of goods, buy discount Christmas presents, and get cheaper gas, it may be worth it in the long run.

BJ’s is also offering a 60 day membership for free as a Trial offer. They also have a 14 month for 12 month membership for $45.00 with a giant coupon book included.

Great deals!

@Sarah: That’s Saturday, not Friday? I heard Friday on the radio spot, but it could vary by location. Good idea to contact your local store–thanks for the heads up!
