I can't believe I just heard about this...the press release is dated November 11th! During this holiday season, Sam's Clubs are offering special days for military members to shop at Sam's Club without purchasing a membership. From their website:
"Military personnel with proper identification can shop and save on
their holiday meals and gifts at Sam's Club without a membership. The
company will also waive its 10 percent non-member service fee. The
military open houses will be held Monday, Nov. 17, Monday, Dec. 1 and
Monday, Dec. 15 in 598 Sam's Club locations in the U.S., during regular
club hours.
More than 3,000 Sam's Club and Walmart
associates are active military personnel and the company supports
numerous military and veterans programs. "We hope this event makes the
holidays easier for military families and, if we can help them enjoy a
special meal or find a unique gift, our mission will be accomplished,"
said Greg Johnston, executive vice president, Operations at Sam's Club.
"This event is in honor of our nation's military families present and
past, to show our gratitude for their sacrifices."
What a lovely gesture! A list of Sam's Clubs can be found here.
I hope that some of you can take advantage of this offer. While I
often find that the prices at the commissary are equal to or better
than Sam's, they do have some individual great offerings and often make a good choice if you don't live near a commissary. As long as
you can keep yourself from filling a cart with a bunch of impulse
purchases, this could be a great opportunity to sample Sam's Club and
see if it is something that would save you money. Enjoy!
