Sams Club

Huge selection of toilet paper and paper towels why not any Dog food! The selection is limited but they have better dog treats than dog food. I will give them that their food café is nice and clean and food comes out pretty fast. The membership can come in handy but most of the pricing especially for fruit, veggies, pizza is exactly the same or even more than your average grocery stores. You save money when it comes to bulk Yogurt, razors, cereal, water, bottled drinks, meat, deli, chips. To name a few. Latham is about ten miles from us near Union college so I know I won’t be frequently visiting just because Hannaford and the commissary is not too too far.

It’s VIP Walmart, what more can be said. The tire shop is just terrible.
The Bottom Line: The cheapest place to buy toilet paper.
Please Costco hear my prayers and let your light illuminate the Capital District.

Very convenient to home. I have to agree with Susan and others … the customer service is, well, there isn’t much. Employees walk by you with no greeting or eye contact. Went there a couple of days ago and asked one of the managers for assistance on a self checkout register and she went to a couple of other registers first and never got to us. We figured it out ourselves, which I mentioned to her as we walked to the exit, and she seemed frazzled. I must say that the woman who usually hovers around the self checkout registers is wonderful … smiles, asks how we are doing, and is tremendously helpful.
Prices are very good, which is why we come back once or twice every week. Usually grab bananas, some other fruit, eggs, some toiletries, flavored coffee creamer, Hershey bars, paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels, nuts, lawn bags, and chips.
Despite the service, this is MUCH better than the last time I went to B.J.‘s.

Merchandise is good, service sucks.
I’d give it five stars, but the customer service is really bad sometimes. The return line is a nightmare — slow, and generally rude. In general, the staff is only interested in talking amongst themselves and not engaging customers, or trying to push the Plus Membership or the Sam’s Credit Card. The younger the person is, the worse they seem to be about this.
As for the actual products, I love this place. I shop here weekly for pantry staples, fresh produce, and meat. I calculated that last year I saved over $ 1,000 on groceries by shopping here, so it’s well worth the membership fee (I pay $ 100 for the plus membership).
The produce usually lasts longer than comporable items at other stores. There isn’t as much variety as you would get else where, but the prices are good and they’re incorporating more organic/​health options if you’re into that lifestyle.
I’ve bought a few clothing items from here too that hold up well. They also have a nice selection of household goods such as appliances, furniture, cleaners, etc, that are usually a good price for the quality. Of note, we bought a 5.1 surround sound system from here for the best price we’ve ever seen. We’ve had it for two years with no issues.

This location has no business being in the tire business. I have never dealt with a less caring service group. I have tried multiple times to give them another chance so I guess I should have learned earlier. They offer lifetime tire rotations as part of the install but it is impossible to get them to follow through. At least 6 times I have tried to have this done and they always say it will be a minimum of a 3 hour wait to do this service. As I watch all the technicians standing around during the ½ hour it takes for somebody to come to the register to talk to me and tell me they are not going to be able to do it again, I wonder why I keep trying. If a manager had the people that were standing around actually working, maybe they would be able to deliver an acceptable level of service. I do not think that will ever be the case at this location. The sad part it that I love SAMs club and these terrible experiences are causing me to seriously dislike this company. Very, very frustrated. They are going to end up losing business from me because it ruins my feeling for the company.

— I shop here about once a week. I am trying to eat healthy so I like to buy my eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt baby spinach, broccoli, avocado and much more here. I definitely save a lot of money buying in bulk. Everyone is always kind and helpful, and I love the samples when they have them! I just have to beware of the evil candy aisle! May have bought a box of Hershey’s cookies n cream bars a few times… *shameful*
— Would like to mention here that they do not take most credit cards. They do take debit cards that can be run as credit though. I use my bank card all the time.
— If you have never tried their berry sundae GO get it! I literally go there sometimes just for this! Yum!
— They also have a new self checkout area that really helps speed things up.
Some of my favorite items I have ought:
— salsa
— pita chips
— coffee maker
— tupperware
— blender
— clothes (yes I find cute/​comfy things there for cheap!)
— great seasonings (roasted herb garlic, Asian, etc… Love it, and it’s so great to buy things like cinnamon and garlic in larger containers– and cheaper)
— marinating things like chili like sauce and a spicy raspberry (so delicious)
— toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing soap, rags, detergent
— dog food and treats
— broccoli, sweet potatoes, French green beans, avocados, baby spinach, almond milk, turkey bacon… etc
— shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, razors
And so much more!
— Definitely worth the yearly membership fee.
— Just went there 7÷2÷14 and they have chia seeds! They are so expensive everywhere else I have looked but you can get a 32oz bag for $ 14.00!

Its great to go here and stock up every 3 or 4 months.
I have never been to Costco’s or Bj’s which are two other whole sale clubs so I can not compare them to Sam’s. I have never sat down and compared the prices to the grocery store for things like toilet paper or paper towels. I just like the fact of buying it in bulk throwing it the garage and not worrying about it for a while. I buy a lot including garbage bags, deodorant, household cleaners, body wash, medicine and more. They have food items in bulk which I am sure large family’s with big freezers at their homes like to buy that I have no use for. I see a good amount of business owners getting quite a bit of stuff here as well.
