If you've been thinking of joining a membership-only warehouse club, now is the time to act—and grab a seriously discounted Sam's Club membership. Sam's Club's main competitor, Costco, is raising membership prices, and in response, Sam's Club is offering a limited-time offer for new members.
The regularly priced annual membership is $50, but if you join before Sept. 27, you'll get a price of just $15.
Joining now and implementing the best Sam's Club hacks can make that $15 instantly worth it in savings. Check out the top 10 discount buys that Sam's Club members say make it worth joining.
Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
No party is complete without cupcakes, and you can get enough to feed the whole crowd at Sam's Club with a 30-count Member's Mark package of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes
At just over fifty cents per cupcake, you'll save a bundle compared to the 12 mini cupcakes for $4.79 at Target. You'll end up with 36 mini cupcakes for the same price as 30 regular-sized at Sam's Club.
Member's Mark Italian Style Beef Meatballs

Price: $17.98
Meatballs are a great appetizer for a party or an easy meal with some spaghetti, and they cost around 19 cents per ounce at Sam's Club.
Target also has Italian-style meatballs under its Good and Gather label for $5.99 or 23 cents per ounce, so you may want to let those meatballs roll on by.
Member's Mark Cotton Gauze Pillows
Courtesy of Sam's Club
Price: $19.98
Member's Mark Cotton Gauze 2-Pack Pillows come in a variety of colors with each one measuring 22 inches by 22 inches.
Target carries similar-sized pillows, but a two-pack will cost you more than $70 for the pair.
Member's Mark Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels
Courtesy of Sam's Club
Price: $10.48
Enjoy delicious caramels encased in milk chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt in a 36-ounce container from your local Sam's Club.
Walmart, which also owns Sam's Club, has the same exact caramels for sale at Walmart.com, but they'll run you $30.30.
Start your morning off right with a blueberry muffin from Sam's Club that features plenty of blueberries and is sure to keep you going all day.
Blueberry muffins are also on the shelves at Walmart and for a dollar less too, but the $3.98 muffins come in a pack of four and not six muffins. That makes them more expensive per muffin than the Sam's Club version.
Salmon is a healthy fish option that you can cook with different toppings or toss on your grill in the summer. It's also easy to grab when you have a two-pound bag from Sam's Club.
You can also get Alaskan Sockeye Salmon at Target for $12.99 for one pound, making it $2 cheaper at Sam's Club than at Target.
Member's Mark Beach Towels
Courtesy of Sam's Club
Price: $13.98
Always be prepared for the pool or the beach with a Sam's Club two-pack of Member's Mark towels for kids in a variety of prints. You're bound to find something they like.
Compare that to a Licensed Character Beach Towel, which you can also get at Sam's Club for $11.98 — but that's only for one towel.
Member's Mark Clear Plastic Cups
Courtesy of Sam's Club
Price: $11.98
It's time to party, and you'll know your guests have plenty to drink when you buy 264 clear plastic 9-ounce cups at Sam's Club for 4.5 cents per cup.
Walmart also has the 9-ounce cups but in a pack of 100, which costs you 4.7 cents per cup or $4.68 for the pack.
It may be a better idea to get the bigger pack and make sure your friends and family are well-hydrated at your next party.
