Sams Club

Clean store, great staff, short lines (depending on the time you go). I’m pretty sure their chicken is made of gold and fairy dust because there is always a line to get one. If you are lucky enough to get one you easily understand why people wait for them. The produce is great at this location. Most importantly the lady at the door when you leave is the nicest lady ever and calls everyone her friend.

I always love how friendly the employees are. Who doesn’t love free samples? Buying things in bulk are simple here.

If you want to see laziness at its best, call the store while you’re in there, watch the phone ring and see how NOBODY will answer if.

Sam’s Club is definitely my favourite store for bulk buying. The entire store looks incredibly amazing. Its a huge store but everything is well displayed, neat and organized. I think the small cafeteria was a great feature of the store. It helps hungry customer to have a better shopping experience.
I love the warehouse concept were everything is mostly promo package. You will probably find anything here and if not, its out of stock. I don’t usually do bulk buying but when I do, I always come here because I find everything inexpensive plus I saved a little bit. There are plenty of products here that you can’t find in a normal gocery stores. This particular branch is one of the busiest store I’ve ever been. So, I strongly suggest to come early to avoid any traffic.
In order to do shopping with Sam’s you have to register for annual membership. Let me tell yeah, its totally worth it. Saving a penny is great and getting the best products as fresh and new is even better. This is one stop store that caters everyone needs.
As much as enjoy my shopping here, I also have to applaud the commitment and dedication of every staff member that works here. I find them very polite and helpful. I’ve noticed that no matter how busy they are the never forget to smile. Bravo, I must say!!!

This Sam’s Club is just a warehouse store version of Wal-​Mart, except that you need a membership. The inside of this place is like a big warehouse. They don’t do much of in terms of making the place pretty. Colors inside are neutral. They have a bike parking area just outside the exit for the place, but I don’t see much use of it when I’ve been there.
Generally, you will be able to find what you’re looking for here at a bulk discount. If you’re looking for something, you are likely to find it here. They have electronics, food, bakery, hearing aid place, prescriptions, eye wear, and even a café available to name a few things. However, when compared to Wal-​Mart, you won’t have as broad a brand selection. While many items can be purchased at a great deal here, there are some items where that isn’t necessarily the case. At certain times in the store, they do have food samples out for trying and they also have a «Freeosk» where you can get a free sample of the featured item. If more than one person is on your account, each of them can scan their card to get one as well.
This Sam’s Club also has a gas station, and their prices tend to be in line with that of BJ’s just down the street; other than that, their prices are generally lower than any other gas station in the area.
There are a few differences between Sam’s Club and BJ’s. Sam’s Club has a hearing aid place and a pharmacy, while BJ’s does not have either of those. While both of them have places to get prescription eyeglasses, Sam’s Club will accept many vision insurance plans while BJ’s does not.
One of the drawbacks here is that they don’t keep registers properly staffed. There always seems to be long lines at the registers and the pharmacy. I try to come in during the more off-​peak times, but once was in during peak times and it was an absolute zoo at the few registers that were open.
Overall, this is a good warehouse store. There’s nothing in terms of a wow factor that would push me to put the rating higher than three stars. I still tend to use BJ’s more since certain items, such as milk, are cheaper there. Each warehouse club has their own pluses and minuses. That’s why I have a membership to both. This place is worth a visit.

This was probably like my first time in a Sam’s since I moved out here and it wasn’t too bad, I’ve always loved the fact that you can get things in bulk because I don’t enjoy going grocery shopping all the time, so this cuts that in half… they also just opened a new location around the corner from me so that’s even better, I’m sticking with Sam’s club

Bulk at its best load of food and every item you could need A eye doctor pharmacy cheap medication and you need a membership Good news for some they except EBT so, well you know… If you need to get your fatperson on, bulk junk food Cookie, everything you could want stock up before the movies. BAm major bucks saved.

It is a membership club. What can I say? It is run by the same people who own Wal-​Mart, only thay make you pay to come here and buy the same products in bulk with less selection than hellmart… I mean Wal-​Mart. The people are less trashy looking through so that is a plus.
And yes the prices are a bit less because of the bulk, but if you don shop here a lot and in excess, it doesn’t make any sense to have a membership here. The military people do get a discount for their memberships though and so do business owners.
All in all, I do have to say I love their food area where you can get a pretty good size slice of pizza for less than $ 2. It is not a five star pizza, but for that price, it is good.
Also, they have these little food carts that allow people to get free samples from. If you have nothing better to do and are kinda hungry, just go to all the carts twice and you’ll be moderately full. I mean you are paying $ 50+ for a membership so you might as well get the free food samples.
Also, scattered throughout the store are little kiosks where, if you have your membership card on you and scan it, you can get a free sample of whatever tjey are offering. The cool part is, you could have a shared membership and scan all your cards to get that amount of free things.
Overall, it is just another big name store and I personally like BJs better only because you can use manufacturer coupons on their products as opposed to this place. Alas, being a military family it is more beneficial for us to have a Sams membership because they have them everywhere compared to BJs or Costcos.

If you can’t find it here it’s probably not available.
Surprisingly there is always something new in here.
I used to hate the thought of going here because checking out always meant a long line. They have now put a self-​checkout line in with 6 stations. It has cut down the wait time.
I’m not a regular here because I don’t have a need to buy in bulk but I enjoy shopping here to compare prices.

Good Gas Prices!
This review is based solely on the Sam’s Club gas station. I only EVER visit Sam’s Club for their inexpensive gasoline prices, as 99% of the time they are the cheapest in ALL of Virginia Beach and Norfolk. I know it seems kind if stupid to pay $ 45 annually just to save on gas, but being that I’m military it’s really only $ 30 after the $ 15 gift card they give you which I end up using at Walmart instead. It’s a nice little perk, especially since the price of gas is 10 – 15 cents cheaper than what the NEX sells.
**Overall the store is very nice the variety of products is slim. I stop by for the $ 1.50 soda and slice of pizza. Of course you can’t forget about the gasoline as well.
Cheers!

I love, love, love the self check out. It’s been awhile since I had been to Sam’s club, still crowded but with the self check out you no more long waits in line. I can run in and run out faster than at wally-​world

Its been years since I was a member of Sam’s Club. I guess I just got over the novelty of bulk buying. Plus, for some reason whenever we went there, even with a list, we somehow always managed to spend anywhere from $ 50-​$ 100 more than we had planned. Part of our effort to get our finances in order years ago involved chopping up our Sam’s membership cards. Our compulsive shopping habits far outweighed any benefit we gained from buying items in bulk.
However, with the government shutdown keeping our local commissaries closed for the time being, I heard on the radio that Sam’s Club was opening its doors to anyone with a military ID. I tested them out yesterday and sure enough, they welcomed me right in and I was able to shop and cash out without so much as a spot of bother.
This is why you just have to love A’Murica, baby! The government might suck rancid hole on a good day but everything else about this country is awesome.

Kudos to staff using the intercom to notify a customer that their Windows were down just after a severe thunderstorm hit.
The prices a great. The staff are always friendly especially the gent who sings while distributing samples-​he has a great rapport with shoppers.
I feel like I get my money’s worth on food and goods. I’m not very impressed with the clothes selection though.

When I’m out and about I do what my fellow friends do, I Unilocal!This is an okay place to go when you want to by bulk items. I come here for non perishable items and gas. So I guess I’m here approximately once a week.
What can you say about this place, it’s Sam’s wholesale ware house or just a mega Walmart. Like any place you shop, you have to comparison shop here too. So be careful that great deal you see here may not be such a great deal.

I haven’t been into a Sam’s in maybe 7 years, but this one looks and feels exactly the same as that one. The same massive warehouse feel, the same concrete floor, the same gigantic shopping carts and flatbed carts. Even the hot dogs are still a dollar.
Some differences. There’s a much better «fresh» food section with higher end cheeses and meats that looked great. The rotisserie chickens are new and they’re a massive amount of protein for $ 4.
Fresh produce section is large. And then all of the dry good. Electronics, clothing, household cleaning chemicals, drinks, canned goods and all sorts.
Sam’s also now has a self-​checkout which might speed things along.

Great selection of food. Everything I buy is cheaper. I love that SAMs Club delivers diaper, wipes, and formula for free shipping. I would like a larger baby section in store.

A clean store with lots is inexpensive Chinese imports. But a good place to get tp and laundry detergent and stuff and hey free snacks, I enjoyed the crab stuffed salmon and the lemonade to was it down.

I love coming to this location, especially on Saturdays, the free samples are mmm mmm good and the associates that give them out have no problem allowing you to make an extra trip or two to their both (good news for many of free food enthusiast). Any time they change or rotate their products, they give customers maps and the staff is readily available to point you in the right direction. The customer service has always been more than satisfactory when I needed them. The GM can be seen helping customers or working a register during busy times rather than being held up in a office somewhere while you’re waiting for the grandma in front of you who decided she needed 5 packages of Depends. The members fees are one of the lowest, if not the lowest out of all the bulk stores. Get a membership and enjoy self check out, free samples, a clean and organized store with great customer service.

Your typical big box warehouse store…
