Sam’s Club probably isn’t the first place you think of for tech products.
But the famous warehouse chain has a surprising inventory of gadgets, from gigantic TVs to video game consoles to even a smart trash can.
We asked retail experts to list some of their favorite pieces of technology available at Sam’s Club, both in stores and online. And don’t worry — you don’t need to be a Sam’s Club member to buy some of them.
Here are eight unexpected tech products you can buy at Sam’s Club.
SimpliSafe wireless home security system
Simplisafe
Not only is this a useful and unique buy, but Sara Skirboll, a shopping and trends expert at coupon site RetailMeNot, singled out this home security system because it’s being offered at $100 off the retail price through June 30.
The affordable security system is designed to detect human body heat, meaning it won’t go off when your pets go in and out. It also offers protection from power outages since it can operate for 24 hours after a power failure. Plus, this surveillance system doesn’t rely on a landline, so burglars can’t disable your security system by cutting the phone line.

HP 15.6" HD notebook
Sam’s Club
This HP notebook retails at $549, but is available on the Sam’s Club website for under $350 through June 23.
It’s one of several products tagged under the retailer’s Tech Savings section.
"I always recommend checking the Tech Savings section of the Sam’s Club website if you’re buying online," Skirboll said. "This section houses eligible tech items that have a temporary price reduction, usually very short in duration, so you’ll want to scoop these deals while they’re hot."
This HP model doesn’t have the most amazing processor, and it’s low on bells and whistles, but it has a solid battery life, making it a great option for anyone not looking to load their laptop with data and downloads.

VIZIO E-Series 70" Class
Vizio
"You might be surprised to hear that TV’s can be a money-saving category at Sam’s Club," shopping consultant Trae Bodge told Business Insider.
A standout right now for summer Netflix-and-chill sessions is the Vizio E-Series 70" Class. It’s slightly cheaper at Sam’s Club than at competitors like Best Buy, and measures a whopping 70 inches. The TV comes with lots of features including voice controls via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
