3 Accounts You Should Follow to Find the Best Deals at Sam's Club

Not everyone loves a warehouse club store, but for those who do, the savings can be significant. The only problem is, it's not always easy to determine whether Sam's Club offers the best deal on a particular item or whether you'd be better off shopping elsewhere. If you're a serious warehouse shopper, these three accounts make it simple to comparison shop.

1. The Grocery Lady: YouTube

I suspect that The Grocery Lady knows Sam's Club inside and out because she offers some pretty great insights. For example, prior to making a video centered around back-to-school shopping, she'd already scoped out school supplies and knew where the bargains were. If you're not someone who shops with any frequency, it's good to know someone who does. That way, you have a better sense of whether you're getting a good deal.

I know that we're all different, but I'm typically turned off by "influencer" types, people who post videos and articles solely to garner new followers. If I'm going to invest my time in what someone has to say, I want there to be value in their advice. The Grocery Lady -- who strikes me as less of an influencer and more of a really cool mom -- is eminently likable and highly relatable. Her advice comes across in a friendly, non-pushy way that makes her easy to follow.

If you're looking for ways to spend less and keep more money in your checking account each month, The Grocery Lady's video collection includes tons of shopping, food preservation, and food preparation tips.

2. The Krazy Coupon Lady

The Krazy Coupon Lady (KCL) is one of the more established names among those that share money-saving tricks and tips. In fact, KCL says its mission is about more than saving money. It's a lifestyle that enables followers to do more.

Like other apps designed to save you money, KCL's mobile app is chock-full of amazing deals. For example, today's postings include Crest toothpaste for under $1 at Walgreens, Revlon cosmetic products as low as $0.32 at Target, and a Franklin Sports Pickleball Paddle Set for less than $14 on Amazon.

In other words, KCP tells you where the best deals of the day are to be found, including Sam's Club bargains.

3. The original source

Of course, your best option before heading out (or logging onto) your local Sam's Club is to check out the Sam's Club website. There, you'll find a drop-down menu that allows you to skip directly to what you're interested in. For example, if you're shopping for electronics, you can go right into that department without skimming through groceries or beauty items.

If you're a Sam's Club member already or simply curious, here are some of the other ways to ensure you'll never miss out on a good deal or promo code.

• Sign up for the Sam's Club email newsletter: Signing up for the newsletter means discounts and promo codes are sent directly to your email as soon as they become available. Emails also include some offers reserved exclusively for subscribers.
• Leave it in your shopping cart: If there's an item you've had your eye on but the discount is not deep enough to give you a thrill, try leaving it in your shopping cart. Often, Sam's Club will send a promo code to customers in an effort to convince them to complete their purchase.
• Check social media pages: Sam's Club has a Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page. On occasion, you'll find a coupon or special offer on one of those pages.

As long as the store is not too crowded, strolling through a Sam's Club can be a lot of fun, like mining for low prices. Whether you're looking to pay off debt or to tuck a little more money away, smart shopping at Sam's Club can help. And following these three sources can make you a savvier shopper.
