If you’re planning a get together or even just restocking the fridge for the week, Sam’s Club should be the first stop on your list when you begin your shopping! I’ve been shopping there ever since I was a kid and can remember making trips with my mom and Katy to stock up on all the fresh juice and dips when we’d have family over haha. To this day, their dips are still one of my favorite things! Now Sam’s is also my go-to for one of my fav bottles of wine, fresh fruit for the kids, and appetizers when we’re entertaining. I always keep an eye out for their outdoor toys for the kids now too!
With the 4th of the July just a few short weeks away, we’re making the planning easier for you and helping you craft your shopping list for the best 4th of July party! I’m sharing some of my fav items you can find online and in store, some of y’alls recommendations of things to try, and a festive drink recipe with ingredients you can find at Sam’s!
