5 Items Retirees Should Buy at Sam’s Club Before Summer Ends

All five of the Sam’s Club items selected for this list have something in common, even if it doesn’t look like they do. Retirees save more money purchasing these items at the warehouse club than they would buying the same, or similar, offerings anywhere else.

From reduced prices on the Apple Watch to discounted string lights, it’s a win-win for retirees to buy one (or more) of these five items before the end of summer. Here’s what’s worth putting your Sam’s Club membership toward.

• Price: $31.98

As the days get shorter, brighten up decks, patios and/or fences with the cozy glow of Westinghouse string lights. Sam’s Club members save $8 now through Sept. 23.

Each 48-foot string comes with 15 bulbs and a remote control for four lighting scenes: static, flashing, timed and ready steady warm light. One spare bulb is included with your purchase.

• Price: $439.91

The Apple Watch Series 9 is the most expensive item on this list, but generously discounted $49 off its original price.

This particular watch features many standard health and activity features associated with Apple Watches including the new blood oxygen feature. Use the app to keep an eye on your blood oxygen and additional apps, like Workout, to stay on top of your fitness goals. Please note this discount is only applicable to the red Apple Watch Series 9.

• Price: $21.97

Now through Sept. 14, members save $8 when they shop for Rubbermaid’s Brilliance StainShield food storage containers. The 14-piece set comes with corresponding lids for each container and is leak-proof in addition to being stain and odor resistant.

“These storage containers resist staining from tomato-based sauces, unlike others I’ve used,” wrote Kurt M. in a five-star review. “Additionally, the exterior stays cool while reheating food, unlike glass and ceramic containers that can get hot and burn you.”

• Price: $10.98

Who has the better deal on bulk disinfecting wipes: Sam’s Club or Walmart? If you’re reading this, you know the answer is Sam’s Club, where retirees get four canisters of wipes, totaling at 312 wipes, for $10.98.

At Walmart, Great Value’s 300-count wipes cost $11.98. That’s a dollar more than what you’d pay at Sam’s for fewer wipes.

• Price: $12.97

The early retiree gets the worm, or in the case of the Member’s Mark harvest coir doormat, their choice of fall-friendly doormats before they’re sold out! 

These festive doormats are competitively priced and measure at 36 by 23 inches. Choose from four designs, including grateful, fall sweet fall, hello autumn and enter if you dare.
