Have you been considering a Warehouse Club Membership?
Warehouse Clubs can provide a great way for families to save money. If you are lucky enough to live in a military town that has all three of the big warehouse clubs (Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale) here is what you need to know about their military discount programs.
MILITARY DISCOUNT PROGRAMS AT COSTCO, SAM’S CLUB & BJ’S WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE CLUBS
COSTCO

Our family has had a membership at Costco for over a decade. What I love about Costco is that they have always stood behind their products. In my experience, if you aren’t satisfied with the product they will take it back no questions asked. I also have found that Costco takes pride in their products and offers the highest in quality for a great price.
There are certain things that we have always bought at Costco–tv’s, computers, jewelry, household items such as toilet paper, paper towel, laundry detergent, patio furniture, plants, organic foods to name a few. I am a huge fan of Costco and would highly recommend a membership to anyone considering it.

Sam’s Club

Since our family is pretty devoted to Costco we have not gotten another membership from another warehouse. However, I have heard good things about Sam’s Club as well. I also have a couple friends who have both the Costco and Sam’s Club memberships because they like the variety in products. Sam’s Club also offers a Military Discount Program and you can sign up below for this offer.
