 Sams Club
We split a membership with my in-laws to offset the $40 membership fee....You cannot get everything there if you are a coupon and on sale shopper (Like me)...but we do get a few great buys there!!
Here are some of the items we buy at Sam's...(We only go once a month usually)
*Meat...Bonless chicken breast (usually $1.99- $2.09 a lb. .....it is very clean, and does not have tons of ligiments in it!), Ground Beef (usually $1.89 a lb.), Rotissere Chicken ($4.99 each...they are delicious!! Great for a fast dinner!!), Hamburgers for the summer months,
*Juice....My little ones love juice...if it is not on sale at any other store and I am running out I get it at Sam's...they have 2 large bottles (Bigger than grocery store size) Mott's 100% Apple Juice for just under $4 for both. I find that there 100% juice boxes are a bit high though.
*Half & Half and Heavy Cream for recipies....These are half the price you would pay at the grocery store!
*Fruit...Fuji Apples, Pineapple, Strawberries, etc. They have the freshest fruit at reasonable prices!
*Electronics....We have purchased Ipods, Tv's, telephones......they have very cheap extended warranties. When we bought our TV a few months ago there the extended warrenty was only $59 at Sam's......as apposed to paying over $200 at Best Buy!!
*Contacts-They have an eyewear department. Hubby has used it twice and has been very satisfied!
*Furniture- We even purchased a leather sofa there on Clearance for just $399!!! And we love it!!
*Matresses....they have all sizes, and few different styles at great prices.
*Tires....they have a tire department....My father-in-law has used it twice in the many years we have belonged!! He said they have name brands at good prices...and installation is cheaper than most places!!
*Bread- They sell bread in 2-pack loaves,,,,,we buy Strohmann wheat bread 2 loaves for just $3.59!!
The same bread at our local groecry store is over $2.50 a loaf!!
Sam's is great if you have a lot of parties too!! They have a very reasonable bakery for cakes and desserts!! They have a great selection of veggie ($7.xx) and fruit trays (11.xx) too!! We love the shrimp platters they have ($12.xx) ..and our guests love them too...LOL LOL
These are just some of the items we have bought and continue to buy at Sam's. There are many items at Sam's that are just not cheap enough for me!! On some things such as paper towels, shampoo, toilet paper, baby wipes, diapers, etc.....I do much better shopping on sale with coupons!! As ypu said you just have to know your prices!!
I was a tad reluctant many years back on joining...but hubby thought it was a great idea!! He was right!! We love Sam's and they have saved us a bundle in may instances!!  |
