Sam’s Club
Sam’s Club has a deal through September 11 that will basically get you a free 1-year membership. The membership cost is $45 for one year, however, members will get $45 in instant savings when they spend that amount or more on qualifying purchases. The purchases must be made on one transaction within the first 60 days of membership, Sam’s Club says.
Costco
Costco doesn’t offer free memberships, but there are several ways you can still save. If you have a friend with a Costco membership, ask them to buy you a Costco Shop Card. It’ll be be mailed to you with a zero balance, but you can add money to it. While you have to be a member to buy a Costco Shop Card, you don’t have to have a membership to use it in stores or online. You can also use a Costco Shop Card at Costco gas stations.
