Shop Shocking Values at SamsClub.com for daily, limited-time savings!

I’m a huge fan of Sam’s Club for many items because of their value and their stock up ease.

Sam’s Club currently has a great deal when you sign up for a membership : Spend $45, get a $45 eGiftCard. Online only.
When we originally signed up for a membership we used a deal like this to try it out (which I recommend doing, especially if you’re on the fence about it) and then when it came time to renew the next year, we upgraded to the Plus membership.  The Plus membership is $100/year BUT there’s cash back rewards (2% back in qualifying purchases, up to $500/year), free curbside pickup, plus lots of other great perks but my favorite is the free shipping on most items through their app or website!!!  Who doesn’t love money back and free shipping?!?  I enjoy going into Sam’s Club (and some of their items are cheaper in store) but there have been so many times where I’d prefer just to order something online and have it delivered to my door; especially around the holidays when they have awesome deals!

Another great thing about Sam’s Club is if you download their app, you can scan your items as you put them into your shopping cart and then checkout before you even get to the lanes.  This makes it really easy and they just scan your phone as you walk out the doors to ensure you paid.  Easy peasey!!  (This and their self checkout lanes make this prepper feel better about what I bought; same virtual eyes but less physical eyes on what I’m purchasing!)

My top Sam's Club Recommendations:

Member’s Mark Ground Colombian Coffee (48 oz.) 

  • This is my absolute favorite coffee!  I was a Folgers coffee drinker before but after tasting the Member’s Mark brand, I can’t go back to Folgers.  Definitely try it before you stock up on it but this is what I stock up on for coffee.  This is one of those things that’s easy to stock up on too because it’s a huge container!  PLUS, the container is metal so you can reuse it after the coffee is gone for so many things.  (Think anything from storage container to homemade stove; I’ve seen some cool little stoves made out of these metal containers!)  

Member’s Mark Long Grain White Rice (25 lbs.)

  • We love to stock up on rice at Sam’s Club!  25 lbs for under $10 is a great way to quickly stock up!  You can dry can rice in jars, vacuum seal it for short term or for long term you can use mylar bags!  (I prefer to use mylar bags inside of 5 gallon buckets for added protection.)  Depending on your storage room and varmint situation, you can also leave this in it’s bag as is for at least a year.  For an easy comparison of prices, Wal Mart sells a 20 lb bag of Great Value rice for $8.98 and this 25 lb bag is $9.48 at Sam’s Club. 
  • We like to stock up on the Member’s Mark, 80% lean ground beef (Ground Chuck Chub)!  It’s $2.98/lb and comes to about $30- $35 usually for the huge chub!  I take that and break it down into .75-1 lb packages, vacuum seal it with my Food Saver and freeze it.  Food Saver says they’ll last 2-3 years frozen like this although I think they’d last way longer.  We rotate ours so they never get a chance to last that long but if something happened, we could easily cut down on how much of it we eat and stretch it to a few years.  
  • Sugar is another thing we like to stock up on at Sam’s Club, mainly because we find they always have it in stock. Their 10 lb Member’s Mark Granulated Sugar is $4.76 and they also sell a 25 lb bag of C&H Granulated Sugar for $15.98.  (To compare, Wal Mart sells Great Value 10 lb bags for $5.14 and  they sell a Great Value 25 lb bags for $12.12; if you can find them in stock.)

Member’s Mark Non-Fat Instant Dry Milk (70.4 oz.)

  • Dry milk is a good value at Sam’s Club.  Their 70.4 oz container is $14.98 where as Wal Mart’s 64 oz container is $17.43.  Someone is actually selling this exact, Member’s Mark brand instant milk on Amazon but it’ll cost you $19.48 on there.  This nonfat milk is what we normally stock up on because it does the job but they do actually sell a dry whole milk also but it’ll cost you more!

Horizon Organic Instant Dry Whole Milk (30.6 oz.)

For $21.50 you get 30.6 oz of the dry whole milk.  

Member’s Mark Power Flex Tall Kitchen Drawstring Trash Bags (13 Gallon, 2 Rolls of 100 ct, 200 count total) Fresh Scent

Lawry’s Seasoned Salt (40 oz.)

Spices!  We love Lawry’s seasoned salt and this 40 oz container is $5.98 (a little under 15 cents/ounce).  In store Wal Mart has a 16 oz container for $3.18 (a little under 20 cents/ounce) or online they sell the 40 oz for $9.49 (almost 24 cents/ounce!).

They have a great selection of spices at Sam’s Club so we stock up on almost all of our favorite spices there.

 
Lawry’s Coarse Ground Garlic Salt with Parsley (33 oz.)

Weber Roasted Garlic and Herb Seasoning (7.75 oz.)

Weber Honey Garlic Rub (13 oz.)

Weber Honey Garlic Seasoning & Rub (8.75 oz.) (I think this one is just the new packaging but I added both just in case)
