There are very few times that I would prefer living in a tidy little suburb within a 15 minute driving distance from modern conveniences such as big chain stores such as Sam’s Club.  Like I have said in many posts it is atleast a 2 hour drive to our nearest Sam’s Club and that’s with good road conditions and NO traffic. Seeing our closest Sam’s is connected to a Super Mall, there is never a shortage of traffic or shoppers.

So after lots of convincing/ threatening I convinced dear husband to venture out on the busiest shopping day of the year!   After the 2+ hour journey to get there, we tacked on another 30 mins finding a parking spot.  Let me say though, I am not hardcore like other holiday shoppers and refuse to be at any  store that does not carry Louis Vuitton, isn’t a Sephora, or has buy one get one free High Brow Cat foals. So we arrived mid-day.

Upon entering the very packed store, we saw several big ticket items such as a 47″ Vizio LCD 1080P 240HZ at fab prices. We were able to pick up a few things that we had on our list at some amazing prices such as the Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Player BDP-BX2 and TomTom ONE 125 SE Navigation System.  Unfortunately some things I had my eye on were sold out but I was able to find online this weekend.  If it wasn’t for the long drive and chaotic environment, I would have LOVED the Holiday Blitz.

I will also say that Sam’s did an AMAZING job offering online values too. I honestly could finish 50% of my shopping just on their site, so that right there makes my membership worth A LOT.
