Corporate Shill: Sam's Club

Sam's Club is offering a "rare" 50% discount on their Club Membership for a limited time. The standard $50 membership is now $25 for the year, and their Plus Membership, which includes more benefits, is now $70 instead of its typical annual cost.

The Details

Examples of Savings:

Sam's Club accepts EBT cards in-store, but you must have a membership to use the card. Most locations open at 10 am Mon-Fri, 9 am on Saturdays, and Plus Members can shop earlier at select stores.

"If you want to stretch your dollar as far as it can go, a Sam's Club membership is more than worth it..."

Don't get played by Big Box stores—they ALL accept EBT cards and none require a membership, unless you count a pulse. Buyer beware.
