Sam’s Warehouse

This place is about the size of a warehouse, well, maybe even bigger. And it’s stacked with food and drinks, arts and crafts, toiletries, electric appliances, gardening equipment, furniture, kitchen essentials, books, kids’ clothes, adult clothes, toys, piñatas, party supplies, dvds, cds, games, and useful, handy, what-​the-​hell-​is-​that crap galore.

Because im a tight ass I shop at Aldi, and whats next to Aldi? Sam’s Warehouse! Yay for cheap crap!
Half of my backyard comes from Sam’s. Seeds, weed killer, fertiliser, trimmers, gloves, bark chip and even massive bags of potting mix. Those bags aren’t easy to carry three at a time. Thats all i’ve ever really bought here, and cheap printing paper.
They also have a disgusting assortment of crockery, furniture, tea towels, stationery etc but I usually just go straight to the gardening aisle.

Are you sick of shopping at Kmart or Big W? But still want to buy cheap shit? Well Sam’s Warehouse is the place for you. It is 100% Australian owned and has 100% products imported from China. Actually I don’t know if either of those statements are 100% true — but you get the gist.
Sam’s Warehouse in Northcote Plaza really is the quintessential cheap (junk?) shop. Whenever I walk by I have an obsession of going in there to look around. I seem to be under the spell of their marketing line that they sell quality products at cheap prices. I literally can’t help myself walking throughout the store — just in case they really have got something of quality in stock, so I can grab a bargain. Inevitably though I end up walking out empty handed with the vague wish that maybe next time they will have something worth buying.

On the lookout for an exceedingly obnoxious garden gnome that just so happens to have been caught in the act of urinating? Look no further.
Sam’s Warehouse is a strange discount beast, stocking a range of products as diverse as stationery, ugly furniture, art supplies and cheap chocolate and issuing more than the occasional ‘Electrical Safety Recall’ on its exceedingly dodgy looking stock.
Kind of like Kmart but cheaper, Sam’s Warehouse is worth a look for its strangely niche — translation: largely unsellable — selection of products including its aforementioned discount answer to the much celebrated Manneken Pis .
That said, I picked up some fittingly gaudy Australian themed paper cups and plates for a true blue Aussie friend’s birthday barbeque not long ago which went down a treat. Oh who am I kidding. Sam’s Warehouse’s value ends at the comedic. A strange and entertaining store.
