Health and Wellness at Sam’s Club

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (3)
Monday, July 12th, 2010

It’s no secret that I do not have health insurance.  Shoot, at this point an insurance company wouldn’t touch me.  When I was told about the free Health and Wellness Checks at Sam’s Club I was on it!  First of all it was free and second of all it was like getting a mini check up.

When I arrived there was a bit of a line and I thought it would take forever.  However they had plenty of people and it went quickly.  Everyone was extremely friendly and didn’t even care that I was taking photos.  They were more than happy to be included.

The first thing I did was fill out a form with a little information.  Basically just who I was.  There was no health history, that would have taken me forever!

Next was getting my blood pressure checked.  I had just ran in to the store through a flooding parking lot and a downpour that hurt when it hit you.  Normally my blood pressure is perfect, but this time it was a little high and she said it was most likely from me running into the store.  It was only a wee bit out of the normal range so I’m not worried about it.  I’ll be checked again today at the OBGYN and I am sure it will be normal.

Next I was sent over to have my BMI checked.  I knew it would not be good considering that the tumor hindered my bodies ability to process normally.  It also had thrown my thyroid out of whack and I had tested abnormal on my thyroid before surgery.  I am happy to say that my thyroid is now testing normally and the weight is literally falling off without me doing anything differently.  My BMI was in the overweight range and I expected that.  I was thankful that it was not in the obese range!  After testing my BMI, I was given some information on a weight-loss group that meets not too far from my house.  They charge a low weekly rate and tech you about nutrition and exercise.  they also said that Morgan could attend with me for free.  Pretty cool!  I might check it out because it would be a great learning opportunity that Morgan and I can do together.

The last check was my Cholesterol and Blood Sugar.  I am hypoglycemic and have been since I was a kid.  I am prone to sugar spikes depending on what I have eaten or drank.  I then do a hard crash.  My blood sugar tested in the normal range, but my cholesterol tested a bit high.  This was shocking to me considering the way I eat.  I eat a diet of mainly fruits and vegetables….most of that being raw.  I rarely eat meats.  So I probably should check out that class I mentioned above so I can figure out where this hidden cholesterol is coming from.  It is something that is not obvious to me and it is important that I figure it out and take steps to get it out of my diet.  Amazing what one little prick to the finger can tell you!

If I would have had these tests run at the Doctor’s office I would have paid about $150!  Thanks Sam’s Club for providing this great service to your customers!

Sam’s Club provided me with a $50 gift card for my participation in the Health & Wellness screenings, to provide testimonial content via the samsclub.com/pharmacy site and post to my individual blog.

Well some people pulling out thier grills are faced with a sad site…the grill is looking pretty grim and falling apart!

Sam’s Club wants to see your broken down grills!

It’s part of a new contest they are running called Grim Grill.  Sam’s Club says that if rust is your primary seasoning, then you probably have a grim grill!

Do you have duct tape hinges holding on the cover?  Is your grill propped up with a chair?  Is it off balance?  Does the charcoal fall straight through the holes in the bottom?  If so, then you should rejoice over your Grim Grill and photograph it for a chance to win a Brand New Grill from Sam’s Club!

I Want Today’s Special of the Day from Sam’s Club, $25 Sam’s Club GC Giveaway!

Posted by: Brandy | Comments (224)
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

This giveaway has ended. The winning comment was comment #51!

holidaysmadesimpleHPslim

Sam’s Club is still running their Special of the Day! Today that special just happens to be the Christmas gift I want to get for the J-man.  It’s an HP Pavilion Slimline.  I have checked out this computer in the store and it would be perfect for him.  It has a nice wide flat screen monitor.  The tower is small and doesn’t take up much room at all.

I love HP!  My new laptop is an HP and it is the best computer I have ever had.  I’ve had a lot of them too!  This HP is backed by HP’s award-winning Total Care service and support.

With a 500GB hard drive, he would have the room he needs for all of his music.  It has a 6-in-1 memory card reader, I love this!  It also has a SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe technology.  What is LightScribe? LightScribe technology allows you to create custom, silkscreen-quality labels and artwork directly onto LightScribe-enabled CD and DVD discs.

dealofthedayI’m so over hearing him complain from the office about how slow his computer is.  Everytime I walk away from mine he tries to snag it.  He needs a new one.  That one he is using I got like 8 years ago!  Definitely time for a new computer.  At $599.00, the Price is right!

To help you with your Holiday Shopping, Sam’s Club is providing one of my readers a $25 Gift Card to use towards a new membership, or if you already have a membership you can use it to shop!

Main Entry: Visit Holidays Made Simple and browse around, tell me what your favorite tool or feature is of the site.

Bonus Entries:  You must complete the main entry before any of the bonus entries!  Be sure to leave a comment for each entry!

This giveaway ends on December 10th, 2009!

Sam's Club Gifter Stress Lifter

Sam’s Club seems to know that my brain ain’t always together all the time. They keep coming up with things to help you and I get this Christmas shopping stuff under control!

I want to introduce you to the Gifter Stress Lifter site from Sam’s Club! With this site you can log on and make your list, I added my husband and daughters.  With my husband I was able to do a personality quiz on him which was pretty fun.

personalityThe first gift it popped up for the J-man was a big ‘ol flat screen T.V., Sam’s…I had no idea you knew us so well….

You can’t do personality profiles on the children, but it does allow you to enter the name and what age range they are in.  After you have completed that it brings up some gift ideas that you can browse and then choose your favorites.  This is a pretty awesome way to figure out what is available beforehand so you know what you want to have on your list!

emmasams

Just one more way that Sam’s is helping us get through this holiday season! Go check it out for yourself and have some fun!  I’m going back and adding myself to the list to see what my personality profile says….
