    It seems odd that adding a name and date to a file would drive the file size up by an additional 28 meg. Does deleting that single name-and-date layer return the file to 6 meg? 

    Also, Sam's Club lists "Supported file types: .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .bmp, .dib, .png"

    Are you sending a flattened file?

    Well, anyhow, it seams that the OP has either lost the interest into the question or he/she is currently not in the possibility to answer the questions that have been asked...

    File > Export > Export as > JPG.  Adjust Image Size and Quality slider as required.  See screenshot.

    What file format was your picture at the beginning of your work?

    What file format are you trying to import into sams club?

    I suppose that you were reading in a JPEG and try to import a Photoshop file into sams club (what ever that may be).

    Try File->Save As and choose JPEG. CHoose an appropriate compression (quality) and you will get a file of moderate size.

    But as you're talking about "impoting" into Photoshop, are you using by chance Photoshop Elements?
