For the first time in its history, Sam's Club is offering a $10 membership good for 10 weeks for families and businesses not currently members.

This weekend starting Friday and next (Oct. 24-26), you can sign up for this membership offer during regular club hours. Sam's Club says reasons for joining include saving on upcoming holiday decorations, USDA choice meats, $4 generic drugs, and holiday photo prints as low as 35 cents a piece.

Advantage Membership, which gets you and a family member a card, normally costs $40. A Business Membership, which which is available at a slightly lower cost and provides a company Membership card plus two personal Membership cards, is normally $35. So ten bucks for ten weeks sounds like a pretty good deal to help you get through the holiday season.
