Sam's Club One Day Sale -- Anyone else score a super-awesome deal!?

capguncowboy went on a bit of a rant said Sat, Nov 10th 2018 at 4:03pm ET

Sam’s launched their one-day sale at midnight EST last night. They were offering a lot of different stuff for deep discounts (some not so much).

I was eyeballing a 75" LG TV that was supposed to be $999 (normally $1399) and a Vizio 70" for $649 (normally $829). I decided yesterday that I would try to get the 75" if I could score one. Of course, their website crashed at launch. I had to be up early this morning so I gave up and went to bed after trying for 2 hours.

This morning, I got up and tried again first thing. The TVs were still in stock! Woohoo! I added it to my cart and… ? The price dropped to $599! I’m not sure if their system screwed up, or if they were giving an additional $400 for plus members ? Or if they were attempting to make up for last night! ? I checked out, and even with the added 4 year protection plan and shipping, it was under $800!

I went back and it was still showing at that price so I grabbed another one and added it. It showed up as $599 too. I went to check out and everything looked good… until I finalized the checkout and the price jumped to $999 plus tax.

I called my brother and asked him to check (he’s a plus member too) and he said it was showing at $999 for him too.

So I left both orders in place for now. If they say it was a fluke and cancel the first one, I have the 2nd one to fall back on. If they say nothing and ship both TVs, I’ll return the more expensive one.

So, did anyone else have that issue too? Anyone know what was going on? Please tell me it isn’t a fluke!

I shopped it this morning at 6:00AM. I didn’t buy any of the eye-fetching tech. I bought some boring house slippers, a couple of MembersMark “DonutShop” coffees, some pork rinds and some coconut oil…

The coffee has already shipped!

- @therealjrn I normally gloss over the electronics in Black Friday but I’ve been planning to buy a new TV for about a year and this was too good of a deal to pass up

I bought a 7" galaxy tab for one of the kiddos for Christmas. Wasn’t planning on buying it this week but deal was good enough at $88 to not have to think about it anymore.

I got movie tickets, 2 for 14.98, which is pretty good. And 5% cash back with Discover. Other than that, just the normal stuff I usually buy.

Zaxbys gift cards I like them. The stupid thing about Zaxby’s is the zalads are like over $10 and even when they remade mine last time because it had almost no chicken for about $11 they included almost no blue cheese! I don’t think I will zalad again. Some of the other th8ngs I like though at a more reasonable price I just tell them to cut back on salt.

- @sippinndippin the blackened blue with Mediterranean dressing is a beautiful thing.
