Summer is just around the corner, so it’s time to start brainstorming must-have purchases that’ll take your sunny season to the next level. Look no further than Sam’s Club to keep your budget intact and your value for money high. With its wide range of patio furniture, clothing, snacks and more at prices that beat most general retailers, shopping at Sam’s Club for warm-weather essentials is a no-brainer.
Here are six top items to grab on your next trip to the warehouse to maximize your savings and summer fun.
Member’s Mark Gas Griddle
- Price: $199.98
Versatility meets high-capacity cooking with the Member’s Mark Gas Griddle. This four-burner griddle is ideal for cooking up large quantities of flapjacks and bacon, smashburgers or grilled veggies with ease.
“Now is the perfect time to purchase a new grill at a great price,” said Melissa Cid, consumer savings expert at MySavings. “Sam’s Club has amazing deals on their Member’s Mark grills from now through summer. Expect a new grill to be on sale monthly, with savings ranging from $50 to $100 off.”
Igloo Bone White and Gray Sunset Roller Cooler
- Price: $49.98
Whether your summer includes camping, tailgating or days on the water, the Igloo Bone White and Gray 60-Quart Sunset Roller Cooler is the perfect companion for keeping food cool on the go.
With a generous 60-quart capacity, four cupholders and a slot for your phone or tablet, you can stream the game while enjoying a chilled drink. A slightly smaller cooler retails for $80 from Walmart, so Sam’s Club’s price is a steal.
Member’s Mark Premium Market Umbrella with Sunbrella Fabric
- Price: $129.98
Enjoy time outdoors during warmer weather without the sun in your eyes with the Member’s Mark Premium Market Umbrella with Sunbrella Fabric.
Available in 10 colors and made with premium Sunbrella fabrics, these 10-inch umbrellas resist fading, mildew and stains for comfort and durability that will last. A similar umbrella from Lowe’s runs for $141, so stick with Sam’s Club for a lighter load on your wallet.
Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars
- Price: $12.85
Hot summer days aren’t complete without a cold and creamy sweet treat and you can’t beat Sam’s Club prices on the 15-count box of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars.
With Madagascar vanilla ice cream coated in a thick layer of milk chocolate and roasted almonds, these individually wrapped bars are sure to be a hit at any summer gathering. At just 86 cents each, you’ll want to stock up on this cold treat at Sam’s Club. At Target, these bars cost a whopping $1.66 per bar.
Designer Swimwear
- Price: varies
It’s time to prepare your closet for beach days, vacations and pool parties — and look no further than Sam’s Club’s designer swimwear collection.
“Many people don’t know that Sam’s Club carries designer swimsuits at affordable prices,” Cid said. “You’ll find top brands like Nike, Hurley Anne Cole, Lands’ End, Loft and more start at only $8.98 for kids and $14.98 for adults. Swimwear at Sam’s Club is up to 50% off other retailers.
Member’s Mark Cheese and Cracker Snacks
- Price: $7.24
Warm weather brings more outdoor activities and day-long adventures. For mid-day snack needs, the 12-count pack of Member’s Mark Cheese and Cracker Snacks is here to help. With two flavor options, you can enjoy classic Monterey Jack, mild cheddar and mini crackers or a zesty Pepper Jack, creamy Colby Jack and butter-flavored crackers.
With 7 grams of protein per pack and a price tag of 60 cents each, you can stay fueled for a bargain. Compared to Sargento Balanced Breaks’ price at Target ($1.16 each), Sam’s Club offers a comparable snack for almost 50% less.
