A smart way to save money year-round on everything from groceries and gadgets to gifts is to join a wholesale club. But those fat upfront fees may scare folks away. Well, Christmas came early at Sam’s Club! It’s offering an annual membership for just $20 — that’s a wild 60% off — through October 21. So if you’ve been toying with the idea of joining, now is the time. As a club member, you can scoop up all your household essentials, get a jump on hosting prep (find our fuss-free cleaning supplies, kitchenware and holiday decor picks below) and knock out your entire gift list in one fell money-saving swoop.
This 60% off Sam’s Club membership will set you up for the holidays and well beyond without setting you back. Check out the new curbside pickup and express delivery perks.
The current don’t-miss promo deal is for the Club Membership, which typically costs $50 for the year. It’ll set you up for big savings on all your wants and needs for fall, winter and into the new year. Even if you only shop at Sam’s Club for your holiday needs, the many perks of membership are worth way more than $20, but once you get that card, we predict you’ll be there on the reg, whether virtually or in person.
What Sam’s Club members get
Beyond the shiny $20 discount on membership and everyday low price tags on products, there are other perks to being a member. Here’s a rundown, including some helpful new time-savers:
✔️ 12-month Club membership for you and one other person in your household
✔️ Extra Instant Savings markdowns on already-low prices.
✔️ Faster checkout with Scan & Go
✔️ Express delivery for only $12
✔️ Free curbside pickup with eligible orders of $50+
✔️ Sam’s cash back when you use a Sam’s Club Mastercard
✔️ Low gas prices
Members can also take advantage of the Sam’s Club app, which is super handy for deliveries, curbside pickup and Scan & Go, which lets you pay as you shop. These will seriously cut down your shopping time.
Want even more perks? Check out Sam’s Club Plus membership, which is currently $60 — that’s $50 off. It offers everything mentioned above, along with free curbside pickup (no minimum needed), early shopping at select locations and free delivery on qualifying orders when you spend a minimum of $50. But the most exciting new offer for Plus members is that they get free same-day delivery on orders over $50 that are placed by 1 p.m. local time.
With low prices on popular home essentials, electronics, giftables, fresh groceries and half-off the membership itself, it’s hard to think of a reason not to join. See our holiday hosting picks below.
What to shop now
If you’re pining for a stress-free holiday, Sam’s Club has everything you need to be a fab host with little effort. Seriously, who doesn’t want to whisk up a party with a cute twitch of the nose like that other Sam (from Bewitched). There are plenty of big-name items in stock to help, such as an effortless Shark robot vac for hands-free pre-holiday cleaning and Keurig for an easy self-serve coffee station — but keep your eyes peeled for the retailer’s exclusive in-house brand Member’s Mark, which features essentials at reduced prices, including household staples and attractive decor. Keep on scrolling for our fall hosting favorites (and don’t forget to pick up some prezzies while you’re at it).
This rustic beauty elevates any party platter. (We can practically taste the cheese and crackers.) The hardy Brazilian teak wood hails from FSC-certified forests and has been pre-treated with mineral oil, so it’s ready to go. The elongated silhouette hangs beautifully when not in use, which saves cabinet space.
Stoneware makes every meal Instagram-worthy — especially in this deep Aegean blue hue. You’ll get four elegant dinner plates, four salad plates and four bowls. And they’re all microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe! The set also comes in black, green and white.
Here’s a festive way to give yourself a break: Pick up a tall stack of fall-themed paper plates. That’s 85 dishes you don’t have to wash when hosting. Unlike many decorative plates, these are safe for the microwave and sharp utensils.
While we’ve got pumpkins on our mind, take a look at these sweet soy-blend candles with double cotton wicks. Situate them all together for a cozy autumnal scene or separate them to have one room smelling of Cedarwood, another of a Harvest Orchard and Salted Maple in a third within a minute’s time.
Everybody likes their coffee a certain way. Give your guests autonomy with a slim self-service station that offers them what they want (dark, light, tall, small, mocha, tea, cocoa, etc.) when they want it. Translation: They won’t have to wake you for their caffeine fix.
Pop this popular pre-lit snowy tree into any room for instant holiday spirit. It offers more than 10 light effects and a simple white or delightful multicolor glow. The tree and stand folds down into an included bag for easy storage during the off-season.
While you won’t have a heap of pine needles to clean up, you will want to rid of any crumbs, dirt and fur. Do so with a simple voice command using this baddie. It deep-cleans carpets and hardwood flooring methodically, row by row. Don’t forget to lift your feet as it passes you on the couch.
Send them home with a little somethin’-somethin’ in these good-looking to-go containers, and we guarantee they’ll remember what an awesome host you are. Plus, you’ll have fewer leftovers to deal with. Win-win!
You might also use these festive Takealongs to deliver a dish or a pretty pile of cookies. It’s a great way to score future invites.
