Found this at the dump... sure to grow to a big bonfire.
The OP:

Is a "Sam's Club" a good place to shop?
There is a closed-up Menard's on the north side of Sheboygan, that may be converted into a Sam's Club.
Are they good places to go?
I'm a bachelor so I have no family to shop for, BTW.

16. Owned by Wal-Mart.
I wouldn't shop there if they were the last store on earth.
Dummie doesn't realize that the OP has 29,000 posts. One would think he would know anything connected to Walmart is taboo.

2. Try to go to Costco. nt
Cali to the rescue!!!

6. The nearest Costco is in Germantown...
About 50 miles south of me.
Costco has stated they have no plans to build any here in Sheboygan, either.
And I don't drive.
Effective moling? You decide.

5. Are you needing things in balk or in giant size?
Will you be shopping there often? those two question would depend if its worth it to you. Also... Costco would be a better option for other reasons.
Isn't a balk a baseball term? :mental: :mental:

7. I go to mine
for things that will eventually always get used: toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, frozen veggies (especially brocoli), their fresh produce at mine has never impressed me, but it can still be bought in bulk for cheaper so I might start doing that for my diet (smoothies for breakfast and snack between lunch and dinner), overall you can save money on some stuff, but in order to do so you have to buy in bulk and be willing to maybe pay a little more initially to get each item in the bulk for less...
Set up for the next comment...

18. I defy you to find a better bargain than Sam's Members Mark TP and paper towels.
paper towels @ $0.08 per 10 sheets
Toilet tissue @$0.19 per 100 sheets
This is good quality, not single ply crap.
These are the only products I've evaluated to any extent. I compared this with standard pricing elsewhere and did not take sales discounts into consideration.
Lasher is skating on thin ice!

12. BJ's has a better selection of everything.
When I was single I shopped there and I still do.
You really don't want to shop at Sam's unless you want to support Wal-Mart/Lowe's/Sam's Club.
Clueless.

24. Lowes is not owned by the same people (Walton family) who own Walmart and Sam's. n/t
Schooled!
In_The_Wind (55,025 posts)
28. Hmm. There was a rumor years ago about Wal-Mart owning Lowes.
I usually find them sharing the same parking lot so I thought the rumor was true.
Thanks for correcting my mistake.

36. no way - I belong to both

15. I can say this
though I hate Wally World (as it's called in these parts ) I have a family member who works at a Sam's Club who has been treated very well. He has been with them only since last May, has been promoted twice (with a 50 cent an hour raise each time ) and is about to get a $500 bonus.
His store has excellent management and they reward a good work ethic.
I cannot say the same about every store, but I can say they are treating my family member very well.
Another Night of the Long Knives at DU, I predict.
That is it for now. I'm sure it will grow.

I bet if they thought Sam's Club sold Koch Brothers products, they'd be burning Georgia Pacific in the street by the carload! :lmao:

Any business that would pay a DUmmie a "living wage" is not long for this business world.

I have Koch stock.

Yep BD, me too. When it comes to investing, I don't give a damn if the company has gay sex parties on their lunch break as long as they make me money. :cheersmate: :cheersmate:

That would explain why the Wal-Mart's in the Asheville area don't have that awful hippy smell.

DUmmies lie, they lie all the time. They would never support Walmart even if they paid $20/hour, unless they became unionized. It has nothing to do with sympathy for the workers there, and everything to do with kickbacks from the unions to Democraticks and vice versa.

One of the DUmmies is right for once. The Sam's Maker's Mark toilet paper is good stuff.

He doesn't have a car, so how the hell is the DUmmy going to get his 500-pack of TP home?

Like they always try to do... stuff it under his clothes and hope the security guard is on break.

Wiping crap with single ply crap...like fighting fire with fire. Reminds me of the joke about the little mexican boy.

Only problem is that Walmart will be out of business and nobody will be able to buy reasonably priced items. My guess is when prices go up because of a living wage
the DUchebags will be screaming for more EBT, WIC, SNAP,... because of the increased costs.
