I picked up my Sam’s membership when they were running the $25 gift card deal (Did you know my year-to-date spending  includes my Sam’s membership cost?).

Other than a few good deals on meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables I wasn’t really seeing the benefits of buying my Sam’s membership.  I’ve been able to get better deals at Aldi on produce, and better deals on dairy with markdowns at Kroger.

However, after speaking with a Sam’s club representative at a luncheon today, I was so excited to learn some new things.

1. Tire Rotation and Flat-Tire repair are complimentary with your Sam’s Card Membership. How incredible is this? I’m going to go get my tires rotated for FREE (they need it)!

2. If you are currently on government assistance, you can now use your EBT card at Sam’s.

3.  Sam’s is getting ready to launch store coupons.  And they are working and considering allowing the acceptance of manufacturer coupons like BJs wholesale club does.  This is nothing definite, but it is something that is in the works.

Getting Free Flat-Tire Repair and Rotation will more than pay for the cost of my membership, and I really hope that they will quickly move towards allowing coupons.  Are you a Sam’s Club member?  What things have you been able to save on with your membership?
