If you have wanted a Sam’s Club membership but didn’t want to pay a fee, here’s a way to get most of your money back in free items! They don’t take manufacturer coupons, but if you are looking for a great way to buy in bulk without having to clip, this is an option you should consider.

$45 for a Sam’s Club Savings Membership package (an $85.14 total value)

• One-year Sam’s Club Savings Membership (a $45 value), which includes a membership card for the primary cardholder and a complimentary membership card for a spouse or other household member
• $20 gift card valid for any in-club purchases
• Fresh-food vouchers, redeemable through Monday, February 10, 2014 (a $20.14 value), including:

  • One free Main St. Bistro Scalloped Potatoes (2.5lbs, a $8.98 value)
  • One free Artisan Fresh Pippin Apple Pie (10”, a $6.28 value)

After you figure in the gift card and the food vouchers, that’s like paying just $5 for the membership for 1 year. Some items to consider in bulk:

• Vlassic Pickles 1 Gallon full pickles – under $5.00 – take them home and slice and spear them yourself for big savings
• 3# Bags of roasted Salted Almonds are under $10.00 per bag
