I have a deep freezer and a food saver so I buy all my meats there. But the very last time I went I noticed a lot of prices have jumped so I don't know how much longer I will shop there. Although I love their own brand of chicken breasts, boneless skinless with rib meat and they are HUGE. I only need 2 or 3 of them to feed all 5 of us. So if I keep saving the $40 in meat purchases then I will keep the membership. I have a bjs too so more and more is not bought at sams.

I buy sugar in 25lb bags. I use a lot of sugar and bake frequently so that only lasts me about 3-4 months. It's cheaper than 5 5lb bags.

Things like fruit snacks, shampoo etc. is not a money saver unless you never coupon and going to the store less frequently saves you gas.

I also buy dvds, books, pajamas for the kids. Those things are usually 2-3 dollars cheaper than anywhere else. (the exception is occassionally walmart). French fries are a good price and their own brand of take and bake pizza is awesome.
