Sam’s Club Black Friday deals are here, and the Instant Savings book is already landing in mailboxes. This is one of my favorite Black Friday stores because the deals run for weeks, not hours, and you’re not fighting crowds at 5am.

At a Glance

Instant Savings run Oct 28 to Nov 29. The big Black Friday sale is Nov 26 to 29. The Nex Playground for $209 is the deal I’d jump on first, it’s $90 off and it’s one of the biggest kid gifts this year.

Sam’s Club Black Friday deals I’d grab

For the kids

Kitchen

Frozen slushie drinks with straws

Home and tech

Gift cards (these sell out fast)

Heads up, gift cards can’t be returned, so only grab the ones you’ll actually use.


My Sam’s Club Black Friday tips

The Sam’s Club app is where I keep my list. Scan & Go lets you skip the checkout line, which is a lifesaver the week of Thanksgiving.

  • Plus members shop first. Doorbusters open online for Plus members Nov 5 at 9pm ET, the night before everyone else.
  • Some deals are online only. Others are select clubs only, so check the app for your club.
  • Shop the doorbuster weekend. Nov 6 to 8 has some of the best gift card deals of the whole season.

Not a Sam’s Club member?

You’ll need a membership to get these prices. A Club membership is $60 a year and Plus is $120.

Plus is the one I’d look at this year. It now comes with Walmart+ included at no extra cost, plus up to 2% back in Sam’s Cash on in-club purchases and free shipping on eligible orders over $50. I broke down the Walmart+ part in my Walmart+ with Sam’s Club Plus post.
