Sam’s Club was founded in 1983 in Oklahoma by Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart. Since then, the members-only warehouse club has expanded across the United States, Puerto Rico and beyond to Mexico and China.
While Sam’s Club’s selection may be slightly smaller than that of its competitor, Costco, the warehouse club still has an impressive assortment of everyday goods. Many of these items are from name brands such as Samsung, Gerber, Red Bull, Starbucks, Tyson and Olay. A membership to Sam’s Club also costs less than one to Costco — $50 versus $60 a year.
