Sam’s Club is a retail outlet that is part of the larger Walmart, Inc. You need a Sam’s Club Membership to make a purchase from your local Sam’s Club, regardless of whether or not you have a gift card. Once you have your membership secure, however, you’ll be able to purchase groceries and home supplies in bulk and at your leisure. Sam’s Club specializes in providing churches and non-profits with the bulk goods they need to continue serving their consumer bases. That doesn’t mean, though, that you can’t take advantage of the deals on bulk goods!
