Entertaining On a Dime with Sam's Club {Godinger Shannon Crystal Beverage Dispenser Giveaway}

I am one of those people who loves entertaining. Even though I stress about the preparations, cooking, cleaning and more, once I see the results and the smiling faces of family and friends, it makes it all worth it.

But, let's face it. As well as being exhausting, entertaining can often end up being a complicated and expensive endeavor. When you begin to add up the costs from the food, serving ware and other necessities, suddenly you're left not only feeling tired... but that your wallet is empty.

Fortunately, there is a one-stop location dedicated to simplifying your life by offering unmatched savings on everything from food to electronics to furniture. After all, it's easy to make the most of your budget when you know to go to Sam's Club.

This season, Sam's Club is here to help streamline and simplify holiday entertaining. From now through December, Sam's Club will be offering a wide array of entertaining-ware ranging from 32-piece dinnerware sets to a Wolfgang Puck stainless steel roasting pan and rack for under $25!

And that's not all. Sam's Club has numerous other ways that make entertaining on a dime possible. How about picking up a...
  • 30" Traditional Red & Green Holiday Wreath – $39.98

Now that you can deck your home for less this holiday season, it's time to talk food! I'm always interested in trying new dishes, but doing so while entertaining runs the risk of ending up with a plate of appetizers that or a side dish that just might not be to your liking.

Instead, Sam's Club makes it easy to get all kinds of great ideas for your holiday menu (as well as giving your taste buds a treat) by hosting their Holiday Taste of Sam's Club event this weekend!
