7. The best things to buy are electronics and kitchen appliances.
Black Friday deals can be overwhelming at Sam’s Club. There are just so many deals to filter through. Consistently, Sam’s Club is a great place to shop for your electronics, kitchen appliances, and outdoor playsets.
Electronics
If you’re looking for a new TV, soundbar, or laptop, don’t skip out on Sam’s Club. For the Black Friday sale in 2022, we saw deals on the Xbox Series S console, TVs, and iRobot Roomba, for starters.
Kitchen Appliances
Don’t miss Black Friday deals on vacuums and kitchen appliances such as the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Sam’s Club prices will compete with Kohl’s, but you don’t have to worry about factoring in Kohl’s Cash.
Outdoor Playsets
Black Friday is a great time to score a big-ticket family item like an outdoor playset at Sam’s Club. These items are normally hundreds of dollars off and likely not on sale at other competitors.
8. Go ahead and use Sam’s curbside pickup during the Black Friday sales.
Sam’s rolled out curbside pickup in the summer of 2020, and it was in full use by the time Black Friday came around. If you don’t want to pay for shipping or go into the warehouse, this is a great option.
Sam’s Club Plus members automatically get free shipping and free curbside pickup, but if you’re a Club member (not a Plus member), you’ll get charged a $4 fee for curbside pickup orders.
9. Or use Scan & Go to avoid crowds in the warehouse.
Scan & Go helps you avoid lines at Sam’s Club all year round, but during Black Friday, it’ll let you enter sweepstakes to win vacations, a mega-home theater makeover, or a lifetime Sam’s Club membership with a $20,000 club shopping spree. Here’s how it works:
- Download the Scan & Go app.
- Scan each item’s barcode as you put it into your shopping cart at the warehouse.
- A Sam’s Club employee will scan your phone for instant and contactless payment.
