Have you noticed - Changes in Sam's Club

6 years ago

Two weeks ago, I was in a Sams's Club store and they were re-arranging the entire sales floor. They were dedicating the back 1/5 of the store to liquor. I thought, what's this? Now, we are in the midst of a lock-down and social avoidance and those supersized bottles of liquor are flying off the shelves. Last week, they did run out of toilet paper, but not booze.

I buy meat and cat litter at Sam's, but I hadn't noticed the liquor. I guess because I don't drink. I knew they sold wine and beer..but don't know if the ones here sell liquor. I will check it out next time I go. ( I may want to take up drinking.)

Our liquor stores have longer shopping hours now. I figure AA is going to be really busy when this is all over.

Our Sam's club recently rearranged as well. We already had a large liquor area, but they put in huge walk in cooler where they're stocking the fruits & veges. No more of the wall coolers.

It looked a whole lot like Costco.

Well, what I notice as new is the option to have emails sent to you after you post to SOMEONE ELSE'S THREAD. I only saw that option when I created a thread. Now, I'm getting emails from any thread to which I post. Once I click to get the email, the option changes to: CLICK HERE if you no longer wish to receive notifications for this message. Yes, I think they are making the site more responsive to the user. Quite nice IMHO.

Hi Anne_in_SF, I have seen your comments in various websites regarding stainless cookware recommendations and would like your advice on a few I'm considering. Member's Mark Tri-Ply, Costco's 5-ply by Kirkland (I don't think it's tri-ply or 5-ply up the sides) and another set from Costco, the Sitram Profisserie set. I'm moving away from Calphalon hard anodized to stainless and don't want to pay for All-clad or Demeyere. What are your thoughts if you're familiar with these sets? In terms of aesthetics, I like the look of the Kirklands set the best, but I'm looking for quality of materials and cooking performance, I cook a LOT.

We have a Costco locally ... but as I'm an old guy, who doesn't buy much, I figure that their deal wouldn't be of much use to me, especially since much of their goods is large sized stuff. When I was young, we felt that we were doing a store a favour by darkening their door - and when they tell me that I HAVE TO PAY THEM FOR THE PRIVILEGE ... ... I tell them that I don't think so! ole joyful

Sams Club, Wind Fresh

Thank you Sin for the MSDS, that seals the deal folks, too much carbonates for my laundry, I won't be adding this too my stash. Besides I keep telling myself to STOP buying detergent. Lol. But I thank you all for responding. Debbie Brown, I'm glad Wind Fresh works well for you, but I have a love hate relationship with sodium carbonate, I understand it being in powder detergent, but too much makes for rough fabrics, the stuff can be a real pain to rinse out if used in excess.

marilyn, I may HAVE to take up drinking if this doesn't end soon! HA! I don't think they sell hard liquor here at Sam's. They are restricting PA residence from being able to buy hard liquor in Ohio. Apparently PA has closed their liquor stores as non-essential and everyone was driving here to buy. Liquor, like beer and wine is still available in their stores though, just not the hard stuff.

Haven't noticed any of those changes...the deli section was really, really

stocked more than usual. No diet coke on the floor, but they said it just

hadn't been brought in yet and offered to go get some.

I only shop on line at Sam's Club. Most everything is out of stock.

They have also redone our Sam's but the liquor area didn't change. They added two walk-in coolers...one for dairy and one for produce. We were there yesterday and they were well stocked, including lots of TP in the 45-roll packages.

DH shopped Costco last week. Narrow entrance with two lines -- one for first responders. One-way in and out of Dairy and Produce sections. Spacing as customers stood in checkout lines. Entire staff in masks. DH was instructed to lay his CC on the scanner and pick it up after it registered so the checker didn't have to touch it. There was zero fruit. There was plenty of TP. Choice steak was $7.89/lb. (I see dairy farmers are selling cows due to milk product sales dropping 50%.)
