iPad now on sale at Sam's Club

Not only can you buy a jar full of more pickles than a human could ever eat, you can also now pick up an iPad at your local Sam's Club. Apple's magical and revolutionary device has been spotted on shelves at Sam Walton's big box supply store, and pretty cheap, too -- you can get a 16GB Wi-Fi model for just $488, $11 cheaper than it is on Apple's online store. The only problem is that you have to buy a big box of 30 at a time to get that price.

No, of course we're kidding. Considering that Walmart is selling the iPad, it was only a matter of time before these showed up at Sam's Club, and the $11 off is just the discount that Sam's Club makes back whenever you pay for their membership fees. Still, if you're in the market for an iPad and have a Sam's Club card from your business or organization, eleven bucks is eleven bucks.

If you have a Target credit card, buying there is a much better deal. You automatically get %5 off all purchases, which brings the $499 down to $474.05.

And... if you were lucky enough to have enough points from purchases under the old Rewards program, you got a card for 10% off a day of shopping that will stack with the %5 discount. That would bring the $499 down to $426.65.

I was lucky enough to be able do this when purchasing my 32 Gig 3G. I got over $100 off before tax.

Something to keep in mind when buying Apple products from 3d party retailers - Apple warranties begin at date of original sale. So, if Sam's Club buys iPads on 10/01/2010 and you buy one of those iPads (or iPhones or Macs) from Sam's club on 12/01/2010, you have a product that's already two months into its warranty

Gone are the days of Tekserve being the ultimate place to get my Apple products â€” man, I miss the days Apple meant something. But, love my new AIR.

I can eat an awful lot of pickles. That jar doesn't stand a chance.
