It's August and that means three things are happening in south Florida -- record-breaking heat, hurricane threats, and back-to-school. What do these seemingly unrelated things have in common? They all require shopping trips!

This weekend, Sam's Club -- home of the giant ketchup bottles and pickle jars the size of carnival dunk tanks, is having an open house at all locations.

That means you can stock up on supplies without paying the membership fees (or non-member surcharges).

The offer is good at all Sam's Club locations, including Coral Springs,

Lantana, Miramar, Miami, Sunrise, and West Palm Beach. Click here for locations. Added bonus: you can also shop online.

The

offer is only good during tax-break weekend, August 3-5, so hurry and fill your pantry with canned tuna and wine for possible hurricanes (and zombie invasions), snacks for

back to school lunches, and ice cream and Margarita mix to beat the

heat.
