We just had a new Sam's Club open in our area. We used to shop at Sam's when we lived in TN and FL and have been anticipating the opening of this one since we moved here two years ago.

My wife and I are bargain shoppers. It is important for us to get the best deal we can on quality products. I support other business with their technology needs and they really appreciate the fact that I try to save them money as well. When I do cost-comparisons for them, I supply them with details of the products and why I recommend purchasing one over the other, even if I am suggesting a higher priced item. While price is important, purchasing a quality item is as well. So, in a cost-comparison, I want to compare price but see the details and specs of each item I am considering.

I would like to see a savings on everything from laptops to PCs, from ink and toner to printers and shredders. On occassion, we install audio/video equipment and I know Sam's has a large selection of TVs.

A one-year membership to Sam's Club would provide me with the purchasing power I need to provide my business and those that I support an added benefit, including convenience and savings through bulk purchasing.

As a person that frequently provides online feedback on items I purchase, I would be happy to participate and provide any feedback on my experience.

I am a small business owner starting a woman owned quaint 4 bedroom Bed & Breakfast in the heart of an historic Civil War Battlefield in Virginia. Literally the house in on the battlegrounds!
Sam's Club would be an utmost invaluable resource to my business. As it would provide my establishment with all of it's everyday needs! I would be able to purchase everything from the highest quality beds & bedding for my weary travelers to rest up on to the freshest of groceries & produce that would ensure a delightful breakfast that would keep them coming back for more! Not to mention all of my cleaning supplies to keep my gem sparkling clean & all of course we must not forget the office supplies! Everything from the computer, software, everyday office supplies & all of my professional printing needs to keep the nuts & bolts side of my business together! Really there is nothing that I can think of that I would not be able to purchase for my business from Sam's Club! It would be my one stop shopping trip! Time is something I don't have much of these days & cutting my shopping down would not only save me time but money as well! It really sounds too good to be true- but could it be??
I would hope to see that by being able to shop a “warehouse” store who buys products in bulk, that I could benefit by raking up huge savings which I would not bee able to get if I shopped at local retailers! I would also hope that from a cost comparison perspective that on all points I mentioned above that I would be able to see dramatic savings in many different departments from furniture, cleaning supplies to groceries. Overall with the economy in condition it is in right now - I would like to see savings EVERYWHERE in my small business. What ever it takes to save a penny because a penny saved is a penny earned!

Wow would this really help me out. I just started my own business due to loosing mine after being off on disability for 7 months from a back injury. so not having many options but to start my own business, i did. having 5 children made up my mind for me. Starting and running a new business is not a cheap venture. this would help out so much...
