This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sam’s Club. The opinions and text are all mine.
I grew up going to Sam’s Club to purchase big, oversized food, of course they had other stuff but I rarely paid any attention to it. That’s just how I shopped, when Sam’s Club reached out to show me some of their newest products for this Spring/Summer of 2019 – I jumped at the chance to see what was new… and boy are these things epic.
There were a ton of items that were shown to me at the showcase and I wanted to share what I thought were the best in each category.
For me the summer is all about BBQing outside with friends and family, Sam’s Club has this incredible Member’s Mark BBQ Smoker Grill hybrid. I totally fell in love with this one. First the price is under $600 which is a great deal for a grill but to add the smoker (which used wood pellets and is fully digital) is a now a steal. Best part there is also an IR grill, which will give you that perfectly seared steak.
While you’re grilling keeping the little kids occupied will be easy with the Pirate Ship Sprayer Pool. If your kids love pirates or just want to cool off this will be a win.
For those with older kids (over 21) and those adults that like to party this could be the hottest pool item of the season. The Waterproof floating boombox with cupholders and pong tray… what an incredible way to bring the music to the pool area while adding a fun game.
For those that want to head to the beach it’s always hard to lug the chairs, blankets, cooler but this backpack cooler was super chill (and a great way to give you a free hand). Consider this your sneak peek at an awesome item you will be able to find in the club mid-June!
Finally I wanted to talk about Sam’s Club food beyond the awesome ready to heat and eat Gyro meat from Kronos! Did you know that Sam’s Club offers USDA Prime meats in all locations now? What started as a pilot programs has now been rolled out to all clubs. Prime is the highest designation that the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service assigns to red meat. Trained graders evaluate cuts of meat and categorize them as prime, choice or select based on an official grading standard that assesses tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Cuts that grade prime have the highest levels of marbling. The prices I heard were like 1/2 of what we’ve paid at our typical butcher shop recently. I got to talk with Sam’s Club own chef Dan Concepcion, who talked about how great the steaks were and gave me some tips to how to prep for a better BBQ this summer.
Be sure to visit Sam’s Club or check out samsclub.com for all of these and other great finds!
Life happens, we all understand that – you can be a planner and have shopped for weeks and still be missing some items for people or you could kind of be like me this year and have absolutely nothing ready. I dont even have food for the guests when they come over… So when Sam’s Club reached out and asked if I shopped there I said yes and how can I get involved, which brings me to why I’m writing this piece.
I’m making one stop this year – Sam’s Club … Yup that giant warehouse store that has it all…. I can get some pots and pans for my dad (if you’ve ever seen his pans you’ll wonder what you were eating)… I can get some son the latest and coolest electronics, video games and toys. I’ll get some cute PJs for the girls and some toys.
Plus I can pickup all the food to feed the family. Like that shrimp platter everyone loves (when I say everyone I really mean me).
So here are 5 items I found… Sam’s Club also published their winter catalog that helped things along.
I’ve found them in my local store and well some giant bags of chips later I’m a pretty happy guy. Thats why when I was asked I had no problem writing this article. All thoughts are my own and while I was gifted with a gift card all the picks of products are my own.
With Father’s Day just around the corner, Sam’s Club announced that the 16GB iPhone 4 is available at $147 in both black and white on both AT&T and Verizon through June 21st. Sam’s Club, the only warehouse club retailer that carries iPhone and iPad products, is now offering the iPhone 4 in more than 350 clubs and the iPad 2 in 400 clubs across the nation.
Which is nice but one of the best things about a whole sellers club is the great food. So when you’re thinking about a BBQ for dad – this please has great deals and great food… Sam’s Club has a 200% guarantee on fresh foods – so you can experiment and serve with confidence. Plus Sam’s Club wants to make entertaining easy and simple. You can find a wide array of options for grilling at Sam’s Club from grills and patio furniture to food and table décor. Finally if your trying to figure out what to cook you can visit SamsClub.com/meals for more information and lots of recipe ideas and to see savings that will help you create everyday meals and backyard gatherings on any budget all season long.
So between the great deals on electronics, food, books, and dvds it pretty much pays for itself… in 3 visits.
