But it's $45 to join and they give you a $45 Sam's gift card. That means free membership for a year. If I buy something just once this coming year, something that's cheaper than the same thing at Walmart, I will have saved money.

So I'm good with that!

We go to Sam's once a month and buy meats, canned goods and paper good in bulk. It's easy to buy a month's worth of products that never go bad. Sometimes if wee see a particularly good deal on something that doesn't go bad or take a lot of space, we might buy six month's worth.

We have the premium membership and a Sam's Club credit card. With the cash back on the card we get an almost free order about once a year.

I would like to se a Costco but right now, Sam's is the only game in town. And as I said in a previous post, it's likely to remain that way.
