The Sam's clubs in the east sell Duracell labeled batteries. They are made by East Penn, makers of Deka. Very good batteries and a good price point. I have a battery of six golf cart 6 volt and I'm pleased with them. I did get mine at Batteries Plus Bulbs at $109 each with no club membership required.

If you're thinking about a membership to one of the big warehouse stores, like Sam's Club, then congratulations, you're officially an adult! Seriously, though, they're great. Where else can you get everything you need for a party at a fraction of the price you'd spend at a regular grocery store? And let's be honest, we all have those obsessions that are a little inexplicable to others, and if you're the type who will happily go on a pretzel binge through a whole series on Netflix, they've got all your singular snacking needs covered.

But which warehouse store should you choose? There's a lot of fuss in the news and on social media about Costco... and then there's Sam's Club. Walmart might have a reputation of being a little bit shady, but drastic times call for drastic measures. Is it worth it? Is it your best choice? Should you take the plunge and get the membership? Here's what you need to know before you make the decision to fork over some cash for a Sam's Club membership.

You can shop Sam's Club online without a membership

If you're not sure how often you're actually going to make it into the store to shop, you should know that there's another option available. Sam's Club does have a website, and you can shop there even if you're not a member. You'll have to sign up for a Guest Membership, and it's essentially an account that's active for 24 hours and lets you order through the site.

There is, of course, a catch. If you sign in with your Guest Membership instead of a regular membership, you're going to be paying a 10 percent service fee on everything you buy. But, if you happen to live in California, South Carolina, or Elmsford, New York, you're exempt from the fee. And that means all you lucky people don't need a membership to get the same great prices as everyone else... if you're ordering online.

Guest members can't arrange to pick up their items at their local stores, though, so if you need something ASAP, you're out of luck. Which is best for you? Only you can decide.

You can find great deals on a Sam's Club membership

Before you head into Sam's Club and fork over some of your hard-earned cash for the right to shop in their store, you should definitely look around to see where else you can pick up a membership for the warehouse club, because there are a lot of great deals out there.

For example, in March 2019, they announced a deal that let you downloaded their Scan & Go app, and use it to buy your basic membership for the standard $45. But then, if you went to the store and used the app to make purchases over $45, that amount was instantly deducted from your bill. That's basically a free membership (via CNET)! That deal was for a limited time, but Sam's Club runs similar deals frequently.

In June 2019, Sam's Club offered another deal on SpecialClubOffer.com and it was even better. Sign up to receive their promo code and then use it to buy a membership in store or online, pay your $45 membership, and get a $20 gift card and $30 in coupons off things like hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, and cookies. In other words, things you were probably going to buy anyway.

Groupon regularly offers deals on memberships, and so does Living Social. If you're not in a hurry, it's worth checking around — you can absolutely score a free membership or some other great deals if you do.

You can't share your Sam's Club card

This one's potentially a big deal, especially if you and others in your household share the shopping duties. When someone signs up for a Sam's Club membership, their name is on the card and they're the only one that can use it. Sam's Club specifies that their membership also comes with a card for one other member in your household... and that's it.

Say you and your significant other want to get a card for your adult children. You can technically put them on your plan, but it'll cost you — almost as much as getting them their own membership. If you paid $45 for the standard membership, you can add eight other people onto your account... for $40 each. If you went for the Plus membership, you can add up to 16 other people... also for an extra $40 each. And those 16 people are not getting a Plus membership, they're getting the regular one that would cost them $45 if they got it themselves. Their membership will end at the same time as the primary member, and while they might pay less if there's only a few months left, is it really worth it?

You can get Sam's Club groceries through Instacart without a membership

If you're mainly interested in a Sam's Club membership for the grocery items, there's something you should know: You can order from them through Instacart, with or without a membership, and — according to TechCrunch — you'll have your items on the same day or in as little as an hour. When is the last time any shopping trip took you an hour?

Sam's Club first started their partnership with Instacart in Dallas-Fort Worth, St. Louis, and Austin before expanding to Los Angeles and San Diego. It was such a success they announced they were going to expand into almost 1,000 ZIP codes and 350 Sam's Club locations.

Instacart does charge for individual deliveries or you can get a membership there, too. According to Grocery Dive, an annual membership (the one that gets you free deliveries) dropped to $99 at the end of 2018 — but that membership fee means you can also use it for any of their more than 300 grocery partners, not just Sam's Club. It's another one of those things that you'll have to consider if you want to figure out whether or not it's worth it for you and your family.

Pharmacy discounts at Sam's Club might make it worthwhile

Medical bills and trips to the pharmacy can add up fast, and if anyone in your family needs prescriptions filled often, Sam's Club discounts might make a membership very worthwhile. Best of all? It's not just limited to the human members of your family.

If you opt for the Sam's Club Plus Membership — that's the $100-a-year one — that includes the option to get free prescription drugs like Donepezil (which is used to treat dementia) and Escitalopram (which is prescribed for both depression and anxiety). There's also a list of more than 600 generic drugs that you'll be eligible to get at a cost of $10 or less, and there are some pretty extensive savings on brand name drugs, too.

And your furry family members can get their medication there, too. Sam's Club pharmacies offer deals on everything from daily medication to preventatives like heartworm pills, and if you have more than one cat or dog? We all know how fast the cost of their meds adds up.

Bottom line? If anyone in your family is taking anything for conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, or a dozen others, getting that Sam's Club membership and getting your prescriptions there can potentially save you a ton of
