Sam's Club retail store in Michigan.

When it comes to the holiday season, warehouse clubs are high on the list of potential shoppers owing to their low prices and vast array of, well, everything. The Sam's Club Black Friday sale is a true juggernaut in this regard, producing ads across its many events that could rival the mail-order catalogs of yesteryear, and if you're already prepared to save, you'll find a load to love from Sam's Club Black Friday 2023 ad's early showings.

What to Expect From Sam's Club Black Friday Deals in 2023

Before getting into this year's offerings, let's take a trip back in time to 2022. We saw a host of gift card offers, with the highest discounts being on those smaller-value cards, perfect for stocking stuffers or shoppers on a tighter budget. Black Friday deals at Sam's Club last year also included some top-tier electronics like the Xbox Series S console, essentially matching online titan Amazon. We also found a large assortment of toys, including ride-ons; home goods, including luggage sets, cookware, and vacuums; and outdoor gear, ranging from year-round staples like pressure washers to seasonal items like snow shovels.

Fortunately, we didn't need to find a discount on a crystal ball for this one; the retail giant has already begun to trickle out information about its Sam's Club Black Friday 2023 ad. Weekend doorbusters ran November 3rd through November 5th and included the first of Sam's Club Black Friday TV deals, small and large appliances, security systems, home gyms, toys, automotive items, gift cards, apparel, and more. There was even a 25% off discount at Wyndham hotels for those traveling for the holidays.

Black Friday deals at Sam's Club don't just start Black Friday; the best deals will kick off on Thanksgiving, during which the warehouse will be closed, making online shopping the only way to get a head start on Sam's Club Black Friday TV deals, appliance deals, and more. If you are planning to shop in-store, make sure to download the Scan and Go app, which allows you to scan items as you go, pay in the app, and show a digital receipt at the door, skipping the checkout line entirely. Sam's Club Black Friday hours will not be extended beyond their usual hours, so skipping even a single line can save a great deal of time and frustration.

Sam's Club Black Friday hours are expected to follow the usual time, opening at 10 am local time (8 am local time for Plus members) and closing at 8 pm local time. As always, get there early if you plan to shop in-store, and expect long lines upon arrival.

Sam's Club operates a Black Friday Thanks-Savings event that lasts all four days (including Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday). That said, some deals are likely to be one-day only offers, so be sure to check the Sam's Club Black Friday 2023 ad for what items are available each day. Thanksgiving is expected to include the bulk of these one-day offers, so Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are likely to be the same through the event.

Sam's Club does not price match competitors. Clubs have the option to match one another, but clearance and other markdown items will not be matched. Note that clearance items are priced depending on how certain products are selling as well as that particular club's needs, so it might be worthwhile to shop around different locations.

What is a membership club without a membership? While it's true that non-members can shop for certain items at Sam's Club, all of the best offers will require membership. If you're not already a member and are in search of Sam's Club Black Friday membership deals, we've noted a base membership for $20 and a Plus membership for $60. While the base membership offers access to all items available during the Sam's Club Black Friday sale, there are a few benefits to upgrading to Plus, particularly during the holidays.

To start, Plus members get to shop online early for the Thanksgiving sale, gaining access November 22 at 10:01 pm ET, a full two hours ahead of anyone else to secure the very best offers. Plus members also get access to Black Friday deals at Sam's Club locations two hours before other members can enter the store. Even those who don't want to tackle the crowds can benefit from a Plus membership with free curbside pickup ($4 per order for other members). For those who need even more incentive to get their Sam's Club Black Friday membership squared away, Plus members also get free shipping, allowing them to forgo a trip to their local club altogether.

Given Sam's Club's enormous inventory, it should come as no surprise that not everything in the store will be marked down, but given the 20+-page length of previous Black Friday ads, shoppers can expect between Sam's Club Black Friday 2023 ad and their doorbusters events that there should be an ample supply of solid offers. Remember that when it comes to Sam's Club on Black Friday, membership will be required to get the best deals.

Shipping for Plus members is free as always. Shipping will otherwise vary by item and ZIP code, and pickup may be available as well.

If you happen to hold membership in more than one club, Costco offers a similar warehouse shopping experience and is another highly-anticipated contender in the holiday shopping arena. If you prefer the offerings of Sam's Club but don't want to deal with memberships, you might also try their parent company Walmart who battles it out yearly with Amazon for the lowest prices around. That said, if you decide to shop Black Friday deals at Sam's Club locally instead of online, you might find yourself too tired to go much of anywhere else, so consider shopping online for most of your needs and saving in-store purchases for those items that require it.

Doorbusters are ready to start November 3 and are expected to continue throughout the month, but if you can only devote a single day to shopping, make it Thanksgiving where the one-day offers are expected to be more common and fewer customers have had the chance to take a stab at Sam's Club's inventory. The Sam's Club Black Friday sale lasts through Cyber Monday, however, so shoppers should find strong discounts throughout the holidays.
