Try Out Buying in Bulk

To save money on groceries, many people buy in bulk at warehouse retailers. In October, Sam’s Club is offering a 10-week trial membership for $10.

Here’s the tip of the day:

If you’ve always wanted to try out buying in bulk, Sam’s Club on Bobby Jones Expressway is allowing potential customers to become members on a temporary basis.

This October, Sam’s is offering a 10-week membership for $10 to prospective members. The enrollment will be held from Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 24-26.

These customers will complete a survey on their shopping habits for comparison to Sam’s prices, said Jackie Atkins, a membership manager at Sam's Club.

Sam’s Club also wants to help existing customers track their spending, so the store is providing its members with data on their purchasing habits.
