Grocery Sharing

we have costco here, but it really isn't all that cheep, sometimes you find just as good or better at your regular store when it is on sale.

I shop at Sam's Club all the time. I do share things with my kids too. If I buy a big box of something, I can't eat it all myself, so it's better to share. Sometimes my daughter will buy something to share with me too.

Buying in bulk has some great ways of saving the pennies.Also having the capacity to store those items is needed to the size of all that bulk. Many years ago I used to bulk buy but not any more as circumstances have changed since then. Have a great life from Deeeky

I envy you there GRANDPA BOB---none of the stores near me are ones you can buy in bulk like that..sure wish I could as it could save me a LOT of money---uh...want to send some stuff over...heheee?

Since I am by myself I do not belong to Sam's or anyother stores that sell in bulk....but my sister belongs and sometimes shares the experience with me!

Yes my partner has membership at a couple of places like that so we buy as much as we can in bulk especially things like washing powder, we dont tend to share it though but freeze it and use it when we need it, and the washing powder well with two children we go through plenty of that lol!

We had a membership with Sams Club and gave it up because we really couldn't buy enough to justify the membership. When I buy in bulk it is usually through a grocery store. I purchase what I will typically use within a certain time period. There are certain items that I have purchased and later given to my kids for their pantries.

I shop at Sam's Club from time to time, but freeze most of it. I do give stuff to my son from time to time. I also am a member of a group buying club and the savings are phenomenal. I give things to my son then, as well. At Christmas I deliberately bought things like Cocoa mix and summer sausages in bulk, so I could give it to my kids as part of their Christmas.

Well its just the two of us so I dont go to Sams club. I go every weekend to Walmart and buy in bulk in some foods. It sounds like it works out well for you guys. Happy shopping!

And we really appreciate it thanks again.

Sorry not me, as I do great at the grocery store with my coupons and the store doubles them. I'm headed to the store in a few minutes, as need lemonade. I make it myself when I'm out of coupons, but going to save $1.00.

It is just me, so I do not do a lot of bulk shopping, unless I find a really good sale. I usually go to Smart & Final if I need something in bulk. Both of my sister's have seven in their household, so those type of memberships really pay off for them.

I stay far away from Sam's club because if I don't, I end up spending way more than I should on food even thou it would last us several months. Shopping at Sam's to me is like maxing out a credit card and have a hard time paying it down to someone else. If I chose to buy something in bulk, I'll head to GFS which is right next to Aldi's here. I get our powdered milk, Hershey's syrup, and few other things there in bulk but that's it.

I like going to Sam's Club. I do not have a membership to Sam's meyself, but my brother does. I am actually wanting to go there with him tomorrow before I head home and get a bunch of butter. I have been so busy making toffee lately I have gotten down to only 3 pounds left at home. I had 16 pounds earlier this month. I am sure I will get some other stuff while I am there as well.

My partner and I have discussed the benefits of shopping at our local Sam's Club especially when it comes to the stuff that we tend to use a lot. We've actually only done grocery sharing with our roommate from Sam's Club and that was for toilet paper. For our next school year we are definitely considering it though because it would be worth it to buy a lot of our items in bulk.

Hello dear Grandpa Bob. I am very happy that you have another nice, but busy shopping weekend with your wife. I seldom shop stores that sell in bulk. I usually shop in the local big supermarkets.

Your house sounds like mine, yes I shop at Sam's, and also any other discount place I can find. We have 5 children at home, and 5 grown children, 9 grands, so we are forever trying to find bargains for our family here and to help out our other children as well when we can. I am a spend thrift who looks for bargains, and I never pay full price for anything. My family benefit's from what I do, and I hope I am setting a good example for all my children.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! Wow, that is really value for money. However, in my case I really don't buy in bulk because of the high prices in commodities here in our country. Even if I buy in bulk the discount is not much. But if ever there will be a chance that I will buy in bulk, I will surely share them to family members too as it will be too much for just me and my husband. Just my thoughts dear friend! Take care and have a nice day!

when my hubby was alive we used to go to this grocery warehouse where everything is sold in bulk for ever so much cheaper than in the ordinary grocery stores and even for two adults and two small kids our grocery bill was just a fourth of what it would have been in an ordinary super market. My one problem in going there was these stupid panic attacks I would get. I wouldbe picking out fruits and veggies and sacking them and all of a sudden the zillion people in there seemed to be coming at me and they were knocking fruits and veggies off the shelves and stepping on them. I would freeze as I just could not breathe then my husband would find me and lead me over to the side where they had tables and chairs and a luncheonette.he made me sit down and drink some coffee while he got sodas and sandwiches for us. then he would just talk to me and soon I was again breathing normally. then I would feel so stupid for having got so upset. I got so I could prevent these attacks and then later I never had another one in my life. but the good thing was the quality of the food and the great prices.at that time with two kids just ten months apart money was pretty scarce.

no i am sorry to say that i have not ever went shopping at sams club. i would love too but we just never have.
