Good for you :-) My nephew used to belong but not anymore.

My sister has a Sam's club membership. Perhaps I'll check with her to
do something similar. When she had her business, sometimes we would go
to the local Sam's Club store to graze their samples while she did her
shopping.

What I've found interesting is that both Costco and Sam's let
non-members browse their sites.
