Sam’s Club membership? In this economy? Yes, please. Now’s actually a great time to join, too, since new members only have to pay $25 (that’s 50% off the usual $50 fee).

This limited-time summer deal is only available to new members, though (or people who haven’t had a membership in the past six months). But once you’re in, you get access to all the good stuff: bulk snacks, gas discounts, warehouse-only pricing on groceries, home goods, tech and more. And yes, free samples.

It’s a low-commitment way to try out Sam’s Club for the summer. Worst case: you spent $25 and got a really good deal on a beach cooler. Best case: your fridge is stocked with priced-right groceries. (Terms apply)
