Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals

August is here, and with it comes the final stretch of summer. It’s a great time to soak up the season and scoop up hot deals before they fade. Look for savings on:

  • Travel and getaway must-haves
  • Back-to-school basics
  • Clearance swimwear and warm-weather styles
  • For grocery savings, grab peak-season produce, like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and berries

As retailers shift their focus to fall, August is the last chance to snag summer essentials at unbeatable prices. Shop smart now before the season (and the savings) slip away.

Complimentary flat repair

TPMS sensor service

Sam's Club provides Tire Pressure Monitoring Services (TPMS) for members. Some cars have a service light that notifies you when there's a problem with the pressure in your tires, but the light could be due to a faulty sensor or damage to the tire. A technician will diagnose the issue, make the necessary repairs, and restore the TPMS system's function.

This service is not free of charge. Pay $5 for a single-wheel reset or $19 per vehicle (may be required after a One-Time Balance and Rotation).
