On occasion, Sam’s Club offers deep discounts through Instant Savings. Here are some of September’s best deals.

My husband and I moved last summer. Due to a combination of bad decisions on our part and a comically inept moving company, we lost thousands of dollars’ worth of possessions on the way from Missouri to Illinois. In fact, we’re still replacing items the movers left behind on the side of I-35, misplaced in their warehouse, or delivered to someone else’s home. As for the bent, dented, or otherwise damaged items, we’ve had to suck it up and make the best of the situation.

I repeat this story because I find myself in the odd position of shopping like a newlywed. I’m looking for deep sale prices on items first purchased years ago. Every couple of weeks, I realize something else didn’t make the move. Often it’s something small, like a meat thermometer or cookie sheet. But sometimes, it’s more substantial, like winter coats and boots. The steady stream of purchases has put a bit of a dent in the checking account.

It never occurred to me to check Sam’s Club Instant Savings this time last year. If it had, I suspect I would have saved a ton of money on the things I needed to replace. Whether you’re moving into your first apartment, recently purchased a home, or you’re shopping for the holidays, Sam’s Club pulled out all the stops with this month’s Instant Savings.

Quick confession: Calling them “this month’s savings” is a bit of an exaggeration. Sales prices end on Sept. 24.

KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer

Regular price: $380

Instant Savings price: $290

A friend of the family is known for giving KitchenAid mixers as wedding gifts. Coincidentally, she’s also considered by one and all to be the best wedding guest ever. In any case, feel free to gift yourself with this 5.5 quart stand mixer in one of five (seriously cool) colors.

The KitchenAid mixer does it all, from kneading dough to perfectly blending heavy, dense ingredients. Although I can’t explain the science behind it, I can tell you that it makes my baked good taste better.

Member’s Mark 6-Tier NSF Heavy Duty Wire Shelving

Regular price: $120

Instant Savings price: $100

Here’s what I’ve learned after 24 moves: You can never be too organized. Whether you have a large attic space, huge basement, or small storage unit, heavy duty shelves make it possible to make the most of each available square inch. These shelves measure 47.75″ wide x 18″ deep x 75.5″ high.

Member’s Mark Fliplock 4 Container Set

Regular price: $30

Instant Savings price: $24

Speaking of organization, we moved from a house with a fairly spacious pantry to a home with a small pantry. Very few of our storage containers made the move, so buying clear containers with airtight lids like these made all the difference. Not only do they look nice, but they allow me to store twice as much in half the space.

Ninja Foodi 6-in-1

Regular price: $160

Instant Savings price: $130

This air fryer is the first to feature two independent baskets that allow you to prepare two foods at once. Rather than waiting around, you can make salmon fillets and broccoli at the same time (or any combo of your favorite air-fried foods).

Everlast 5-Person Outdoor Spa

Regular price: $5,000

Instant Savings price: $4,000

Truth be told, I did not have an outdoor spa in the old house, but that doesn’t prevent me from dreaming of buying one for the new house. Here’s what’s great about this one (in addition to $1,000 off the regular price):

Seats up to five full-grown adultsHas two captain’s chairsIncludes a full-body loungerProvides 68 streams of soothing waterComes with adjustable multicolor LED water columnsSteps and a spa cover are included

If you’re not familiar with Instant Savings, it’s a membership benefit that provides additional savings to Sam’s Club members. Instant Savings are like flash sales, meaning available for a limited time only. You can access the most recent Instant Savings on the Sam’s Club mobile app or through your online account on SamsClub.com.

The truth is, you don’t have to experience a terrible interstate move to appreciate the value of Instant Savings. Savings are typically made available on a wide range of items, from laundry detergent to snow cone machines. If you need something, Sam’s Club is the place to check first.
