These hacks make shopping at Sam's Club a no-brainer.
You'll learn the ins and outs of the store so you can always find the best deals, whether
that means decoding the price tag or using the technology at your disposal to make shopping
a breeze.
No one likes to dilly dally, but even after you've spent an hour combing through the aisles
for your bulk mac & cheese and flats of granola, you face a challenge: waiting in line.
Sometimes it feels like you spend more time waiting in line than you do shopping!
Sam's Club knows this, and they now just how annoying it can be.
That's why they created an app called Scan & Go that helps shoppers purchase everything
they need without having to bother with those pesky long lines.
All you have to do to use the app is download it to you phone then head to the store.
Scan items you want to purchase with the app, then pay right on your phone.
An employee at the exit will check your e-receipt as you head out the door to confirm you've
paid, and then you're free to go on your way, all without having to bother with the waiting,
unloading and loading your cart at the check-out line.
It turns out that while you shop, you can get your car worked on, too.
You can get tires installed for $15 each, but the benefits you get after they're installed
are what make the deal worth it.
You'll benefit from complimentary tire balancing, rotation, tire pressure monitoring, and flat
repair for the life of the tire.
You'll also be a beneficiary of three years of emergency roadside tire service, and will
gain an extended warranty on your tires that covers road hazards like punctures, cuts,
and impact breaks, which usually aren't covered under the original manufacturer's warranty.
You'll drive out of Sam's Club with a car full of groceries and peace of mind, knowing
that your tires are taken care of for a few more years.
Sometimes, looking for low ticket prices on the shelf isn't enough when you're searching
for the best deals in town.
Even marked down items can be reduced further, so how do you know you're getting the best
deal now, and that you shouldn't wait?
At Sam's Club, there's a code on each price tag that can give you a clue.
You'll see the letters N, A, or C. "N" stands for "never out," and these items are the least
likely to go on sale, since they're always in stock.
"A" stands for "active," which means they still have plenty in stock, but the price
is likely to be reduced in the future.
For the best deals, look for tags labeled with a "C".
The C stands for "canceled," meaning the item isn't going to be re-stocked, and they're
trying to get it all to free up shelf space.
Don't wait, as if you miss it, it's not coming back.
Another clue that you're getting the best deal?
Check for items that are priced ending in one penny, like $1.91.
This means the item isn't just on sale, but that it's a clearance item.
We love shopping warehouse clubs for the huge savings, but the actual experience of being
in the store can be a nightmare.
Thankfully, at Sam's Club you can avoid the madness with a benefit that comes with basic
membership.
They've initiated an in-store pickup program that allows you to place your order online,
and then pick it up in the store, ready to go, the next day.
Not only is it easier to find what you need using the internet search tool instead of
just winging it in the store, but it's also easier to spot great deals.
You'll end up saving big both cash-wise and time-wise — something that's honestly priceless
when you're busy and on a budget.
Depending on your location, Sam's Club pharmacy offers health screenings to check for high
blood pressure, cholesterol levels, vision, and hearing.
They also sell glasses, hearing equipment, and have a full pharmacy, so if there is anything
you need after your screening you're able to get it right in store.
Here's where you might want to start looking into a Sam's Club Plus membership.
Some medications are outright free, although this varies by state.
If you take several medications each month, you'll get 200 different prescriptions for
just $4 and 400 others for $10, and some other generic drugs for free.
You can also get many of your pets' medications there, too, for a fraction of the price you
might pay elsewhere.
They have around 200 different medications for our furry friends, and that makes it easier
to keep everyone healthy.
Waking up at the crack of dawn to get your shopping done is usually a futile exercise.
After all, what's to stop literally everyone else from joining you in your attempt to shop
crowd-free?
Well, Sam's Club has a solution in the form of an additional perk for its Plus Members.
For just $55 dollars a year more than a basic $45 membership, Plus members have exclusive
early access to the store.
From 7 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, Plus card holders can get their shopping done
without having to worry about being hassled by the crowds, a benefit that's almost worth
the price of admission all by itself.
