Free One-Day Pass to Sam’s Club through May 25.
If you’ve been wondering what the prices at Sam’s Club are like, you can go here to print a pass for a free one-day membership to Sam’s Club. (The Greenville Sam’s Club is located here.)
While you can be certain that an avid couponer will beat out Sam’s Club prices, you can also be certain that if you’re wanting to save time and buy in bulk, Sam’s Club is a great place to go (they also accept coupons). My parents always had a membership, but I have not revisited since I’ve been married. (I know they’ve found some clearance items at amazing prices–clothes, books, and food.) What about you? Are you a member? Do you find the membership worth it?

I had a membership for about a year. I mostly went for diapers and then picked up a few things that were good to have in bulk. My problem is that our nearest Sam’s is in Knoxville, a good 45-50 minute drive. I decided that I really wasn’t saving money when I considered the gas and that Drew and I would need a meal while we were there. Now that I discovered Walgreens B1G1 sales on diapers I have actually saved money. I think if you have a Sam’s close by it would be a benefit, but for us it was not worth it.

I thought the Greenville Sam’s Club did NOT accept coupons…

We got a “free” membership at Thanksgiving. My husband got a $10 discount through his work. Two gift cards were offered (one before hand and one by sign-up for Sam’s credit card in store - no annual fee). The remaining balance was the price of a “free” pumpkin pie also offered with the credit card sign-up, and it was a welcome addition at the extended family gathering!
I’ve been avidly couponing only since August or so of last year. In my (limited) experience, only a few items are better deals than couponing at pharmacies and grocery stores. The big exceptions I’ve noticed are cheese and organic produce. Large families would be more likely to profit from buying in bulk, too.
