Sam’s Club

I go to Sams club out of necessity for both work and home. I visit the Grand Junction store at least once a week and most of the time I weave in and out of the tall standing isles with ease and most of the time find something I never knew I needed. Check out for the most part takes longer than my time shopping, wether it’s a full cart or just a few items. Every time I have bought stamps or needed further assistance that has been the hold up! The cashiers have been great and fast paced but when they need to call for a manager is when time stops. Apparently they need approval to open the drawer to get stamps, so they call to a manager standing 20 feet away only to get extremely slow response. I find it very rude to wait on managers while they are just sanding around talking and laughing with other employees. Customers first, right?

While I still wish there was a Costco in Grand Junction — I am very happy with this Sam’s club. They always seem to have plenty of check out stands open.
The selection of merchandise and food products is very good. And prices are very good as well.
It is a very clean and well lit store with wide enough aisles.
Hope to get there someday when they are giving out samples — but haven’t been there at the right time yet.

When traveling along I-​70 Grand Junction is one of my preferred fuel stops. Sams Club is located a ways off I-​70 but they offer gas prices that are hard to beat. And if you’re pulling a trailer or are driving a larger vehicle those savings can make it worth your time to drive the 5 miles off I-​70 to stop here.
This Sams is located very close to other favorite stops including an Autozone, Wal-​Mart, and yes there is a Chick-​Fil-​A close by. In short you can make Sams Club part of a refueling stop for both you and your vehicle with a minimum of hassle.
3 Stars… it really is A-​Ok!

I suppose the pricing is ok, poor service. Too bad there is no Costco in town. A very poor substitute for Costco.

We received an invitation by mail to the Sam’s Club December open house. The flyer specifically said no membership was required. On Friday we grabbed a shopping cart, entered the store and told the greeter we were there for the open house and she welcomed us with a smile. Twenty minutes later we went to a checkout with our few items (nuts, frozen fish, vanilla extract) and that is when the smiles disappeared. The cashier said he needed an orange «guest pass» to ring up our purchase.
I went to the service desk told the floor manager why we were there and asked about the guest pass. The manger immediately asked for my driver’s license. This seemed odd and when I asked why, she said they had to enter the information including my telephone number for my trial membership. I told her I was not interested in becoming a member and I didn’t want to give Sam’s Club that info. No license, no guest pass, end of story. We left the store angry about this bait and switch tactic by Sam’s to extract marketing information under the guise of an «open house» event. Do they even train these people in the basics of retailing? What kind of a store invites customers to shop only to tick them off and have them leave empty handed?

It’s usually not that busy here and the service is always friendly. Oddly my favorite part about Sam’s is the great and simple foods from the café thing

Nice and clean inside and out. Gas station and Pharamcy also present. Can not beat 1.50 for a hotdog and soda at the deli.

Awesome Sam’s Club.
Super friendly checkers, really clean store (for a warehouse), generous samples (oh. yeah.), and humungo savings (on most things).
Beyond big families, this is a great idea for giant roomie situations.
$ 20 massive supply of fancy toilet paper, geeze, who thought I’d ever reason my way into buying that stuff?
$ 9 for 70 pizza rolls, YES!
$ 9 HUGE container of Bertolli Olive Oil?!!@!! Amen!
Roomie dinner? Check out the stakes, and fish! I just picked up 4 strips for 20 bucks and they were sooooo tasty. Great deals on frozen shrimp too!
Some things don’t make all that sense to me (as a non-​parent and a non-​in house storage person) 5 tubes of tooth paste? No… 4 bottles of dish soap? It took me 8 months to use one…
This is a smart shopper zone. It’s time to get out your shopping lists, maybe your meal planner, and for sure your freezer bags!!! Don’t be afraid to buy in bulk! Feeding one? Section off your meats, and veggies in serving size portions, and pop em in the freezer. Life can’t get any more ‘single serve’ than that!
Go with your friend who has a membership. The checkers are more than happy to scan it twice to section off who’s paying for what.
Don’t forget: They only accept Cash, Debit Cards, and Discover/Sam’s club Credit Cards.

I enjoy shopping at Sam’s Club.
It is always a bonus to score a sample of pizza or an egg roll as you shop.
What can be frustrating is that everything is in such large quantities. Do I really need 2 pounds of shredded cheese? Or 18 hamburger buns? I do realize Sam’s is for small business owners and large families as I am not either of these. So, my shopping can be sometimes difficult.
The deals are good.
The weekends can be a challenge as it gets much busier. The checkers do a great job in helping move along the lines and get you out as fast as possible.
