I belonged to Sams and Costco for many years. However, I noticed that they are not so cheap anymore. Also, our family needs are smaller now, so to buy all that food is not worth it to me anymore. Wal Marts prices are lower than Sams and Costo on a lot of items we use.

Yes, there are a few. But as far as the perishables, for two people, it doesn't work for me.

I used to be a member of sams club years ago. It was much cheaper to join then than it is now. We are going to be joining again next month. I think we can save money by buying in bulk on things like toilet paper and such. We buy our food at ALDI's and their prices can not be beat.

Aldis has wonderful prices. they cannot be beat especially for the snacks and canned goods.

We belong to Sam's Club and no it doesn't save me much, as I always come out with other things that I don't need too!

I belong to Sam's Club and I only buy the things I know are cheaper. My printer toner is about $15 cheaper, so that's definitely worth it! The meats are good and they cost a lot less. We rebag it into 2-people portions and freeze it so that works out good for us. Paper products are a good deal also. If you pay attention you can really save some money, but you have to be careful because some things are more expensive - like sodas.

I agree and we do the same. we will just buy certain items that we know are cheaper. we also buy the meat and make several meals out of it.
