Sam's Club - Is it worth it?

yes

It's pretty good if you have one nearby that is not insanely crowded all of the time.

I like it for the gas prices at the Sam's on my way home from work. Beats the hell out of most of the other ones around.

milk is cheaper there. we buy a year supply of toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags every year. as mentioned, gas is usually cheaper. and, depending on what meat you get, you can get good deals at different times.

I've never met anyone with a membership who regretted it.

As others have said, good quality meat for the price. Ziplocks are cheap... You will find certain things that you use and buy and buy them every trip.

Worth it for the rotisserie chickens, USDA choice meat, good cheese selection/value.

Some good take and bake items (chicken enchilladas).

Not to mention the bulk dry goods.

Never thought the beer/liquor/soft drinks was that great of a deal.

Hot dog combo for lunch is around $2, for a quick meal.

forgot about those. we usually stock up on these once a year too. Although, we bought some in Dec of 2010 and still haven't bought more.

They do have things that are not worth it. The best thing to do is go shopping at your normal grocery store. Keep the receipt. Go shopping at Sam's, and compare and see what's worth getting for the value. Not everything is worth it just because it is at Sam's. Just remember to make adjustments for the larger portions you'll get at Sam's.

Also, remember that stuff expires and don't buy more than you can use.

Pros - I can buy almost anything there that I need for the week, personal and business.

Cons-

Employees there suck. I'd almost rather slit my wrists than stand in line for 30 mins bc the slut hates her job, and has no sense of urgency to get the line checked out. For some reason, there are 20 lanes, and never more than a few people working them, even during peak times.
The old Airline store was awesome, the new cortana one has attracted so much riff-raff, the employees hate their jobs even more now, it's a cluster to get in and out unless i go at 7am, and I swear on Friday/Sat nights everyone in the area has decided to make it CLUB SAMS for a cheap dinner at the snack bar, and hang out outside dicking off.

The Sams club was awesome before everyone could pay a little extra and invade the business only early hours.

For me, it's a necessary evil.
