Their tires prices are damn good, so if you don't have a membership and need tires, you'll probably still be cheaper then a lot of places if you get both there. You can also split memberships with other people, me and my bro both have a membership from whent he parents put tires on his car.

been a Sam'* member for 5 years now. I love it. I buy tires there for my cars cause they are cheap. I also buy a lot of drinks and meet from there cause it is usually cheaper than elsewhere.

If you are looking for perishables like fruit and vegetables, unless you are feeding a bunch of people and will use it up in time, go to a regular store, but the rest is worth it.

I usually go there for Gas. They are one of the two places in GR that carry 93 octane premium, aside from costcos.

Not quite. It takes more than a business card to be able to get a Business Membership. You need to have, at minimum, the DBA paperwork to be able to join as a business member.

Thats not what I was told when I went to renew, but again this was about 4 years ago and I had the DBA, FED# and NY# for sales taxes, but not the one and only thing I needed: a business card. This actually made me so disgruntled with Sams club I unjoined and never went back... buncha retards at my store

I love that place. It'* great for food, but like said before, you have to know you can either eat or store the quanity that you get before it goes bad.
