Sam’s Club: FREE Trial Membership August 2nd-4th (+ Free Health Screening on 8/10!)
If you’ve been thinking about joining Sam’s Club, you’re in luck! Starting today, August 2nd through August 4th, Sam’s Club will be hosting an Open House and offering up a FREE trial membership and the opportunity to shop in-store! This is a nice opportunity for you to browse around and get familiar with all of the items they have in store for you.
Also, keep in mind that select stores will be having a Tax Free Holiday, so this may be a good shopping weekend for you (if your local store is participating). Please note that each Tax Free Holiday date is different depending on your location. Head here to see if your state is included in the Tax Free Holiday!
And, just a heads up to all Sam’s Club members, on August 10th, you can head to your local store for a FREE Health Screening valid for Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Dental Tabs, Take home DNA swab kits, Child Safety ID Kits, and Vision.
(Thanks, Freebie Finding Mom and Ahorrando Dolares!)
How long is the trial membership?
Does anyone know if you can get the free trial membership if you have participated in one before? I participated last time they had a “free” membership day, and don’t want to waste my time and gas if you can only get a trial membership one time.
I have done this twice already and plan to do it this weekend too. You might want to call first, but I’ve never had a problem!
Collin, today is Aug 2nd 🙂
Woops! Just fixed that! 😀
I wonder, do they do an upcharge for the free trial membership shopping? Or is this “upcharge free”, and you would pay what members pay?
No upcharge fee on those days according to the press release.
“From Friday, Aug. 2 to Sunday, Aug. 4, Sam’s Club and SamsClub.com will offer public access to members-only savings without a non-member shopping upcharge.”

Awesome! Thank you!
Does the Openhouse let you purchase things at the members discount price?
Thanks, Collin! I love their prices on the big clamshell tubs of organic salad greens!
Can u buy or just browse?
I tried this the last time around. I think it was May. All I had to do was go to the member services desk to sign in. I got to shop and get member prices. It was great. Since it was like a membership drive there were samples all over the place and my kids had a great time.
“Non-members can shop Sam’s Club at member’s pricing (no upcharge added at checkout for non-members)”
if you don’t have insurance Sam’s has good price on prescription drugs and you don’t need membership to buy prescription there. It cost me $74 to buy insulin for my cat at other store and Sam’s price was only $24.88 for the same insulin. They told me if you have plus membership you get up to 40% off their generic price and 8% off brand drug.
So sad..they said it depends on the Sam’s. My Sam’s club didn’t clearance the swim diapers out:(
Tried this out today. Epic fail at the store in my city. After many a line and many a puzzled look from their employees and then being informed I would pay 10% extra, I left my cart and walked out. Absolutely awful experience.
