If there is one thing you must know about me, it's the convenience will trump basically everything else in my life. If something is out of the way, or takes too long, the chances of it getting done are slim to none. That goes with grocery shopping too. A few years ago I used to have several memberships to a few different warehouse stores, but then stopped going because despite getting good prices on bulk items, the stores were typically way out of my way, and going all the way through those major warehouse stores for only one or two items seemed like a major pain.
We went a few years without joining any warehouse stores, and simply stuck to our normal grocery store, but over the last few months, I found myself wanting to get a Sam's Club card again. There were a few reasons for this:
1. Location: Where we currently live, all the stores are on one main road. This means when I need to go into town to get something, everything is within a half mile from each other. Previously I would have to go three miles in one direction to get to one store, and then six miles in the other direction to get to the closest warehouse store. It was a pain with all the back and forth, but now that everything is on one road, it makes it a lot easier to get from one place to another.
2. Prices: If you know me, you know I have the stock up prices for basically every single household food and non-food item memorized from my couponing days. There are certain things at Sam's Club that you just can't get cheaper anywhere else. Items include: milk, fresh boneless skinless chicken breast, garbage bags, rotisserie chicken, diapers, wipes, etc... This may not be typical for where you live, but rings pretty true for us in the area of Georgia where we live.
3. Ease and Convenience: Sam's Club has an In-Club Pick Up option, which means that I can log into my computer at home, add all the items that I need to my cart, and then all I have to do is go into the store, scan my card, get my groceries, and then be on my way. It means that I don't have to wander through all the aisles in the store looking for the things I need, and it can be in and out of the club in about five minutes, and still have all the amazing prices on the items that I need. It's basically the easiest thing I've ever done, and I love that it saves us both time and money.
If you're in the market for a new Sam's Club membership, be sure to head on over to their site where you can currently get $20 off the price of a new membership, and a $20 coupon book with purchase!
This would be amazing!
