If you have friends who never stop talking about Costco, match their enthusiasm with an exclusive membership of your own, and for way less, by signing up for Sam’s Club. No, it’s not as trendy or hip, but signing up for Sam’s Club is much cheaper, especially now, as the wholesale retailer is offering an absolutely bonkers deal: 60% off its annual memberships. From now through Sunday, July 7, anyone who signs up for a Sam’s Club membership can get a year for only $20. That’s a third of the price of a Costco membership, and for access to the same categories of groceries, discounted appliances and home goods, and bulk items.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for even more savings, Sam’s Club is also offering $50 off its premium Sam’s Club Plus memberships, knocking the price down to $60 a year.
A Sam’s Club membership also means perusing a less popular wholesale store than Costco. In other words, you won’t have to steer your cart through the typically overpopulated aisles of Costco, or dodge the dozens of patrons waiting for their precious hot dog-and-soda on your way out.
This discounted $20 annual membership gets you one Club card as well as membership access to one other person in your household, members-only discounts at fueling stations plus optional same-day delivery with online orders. It also gets you affordable tires at Sam’s Club locations with tire and battery centers, plus free flat tire repair, battery testing and wiper blade installation. If you’re unsure where the closest Sam’s Club is to you, check their store directory for more info.
Meanwhile, the discounted Sam’s Club Plus membership offers extra benefits and savings. You’ll get 2% cashback on qualifying in-club purchases (up to $500), free shipping and curbside pickup on all orders, access to pharmacy savings and free early shopping hours at select stores.
If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to your locally crowded Costco, hop on this Sam’s Club deal before it’s too late. You have until Sunday, July 7, so don’t slack.
