Sam’s Club offers periodic passes to their stores in an attempt to draw in new customers.  Depending on your bulk shopping habits, it may make sense to simply shop there with these one-day passes, which are distributed several times a year.  When shopping with the one-day pass, a 10% fee is typically applied to your total purchase…so if you don’t intend to spend more than $500 per year (based on a $50/year membership – dues vary), the one-day pass is a great alternative to paying annual membership fees.
