Sam's Club ~ So can anyone tell me why I should shop at Sam's Club?

I agree with most of the items others have posted. I can't beleive so few mentioned the Rotisserie chicken...it is the best I've had, $4.97 and it's nearly twice as big as the supermarket ones. I can't roast a chicken at home for that price especially with natural gas prices.

I know this is a super old post...but sometimes if you go right when they are closing..they'll give you a FREE rotisserie chicken as you walk out the door!!! YUM

Does anyone know what happened to the OP?

What I have been buying lately:

Arnold 12 grain bread-- at 2/3.29, it's better than I can do anywhere around here, even with coupons

Rotisserie chickens-- same price as Giant Eagle, but at least 50% larger

48 oz bags of Craisins-- again, better than I can do on smaller bags with coupons

Bananas-- 3 lb for $1.23ish

Chicken breasts-- always around $2/lb, which is better than the local groceries

I think it depends on what you need and where you live - the couponing in my area is 'ok'.

I joined sams originally for Monster Energy drink - at 1.25 a can, I can't beat it anywhere else. At best, the grocery store will get to that on sale w/the rare coupon but typically they will only have a dozen cans on the shelf so we can't really stock up.

I also get cat food, dog food, toilet paper and paper towels there - I can't beat the prices at the store even with coupons. However, I am careful to do the math on what i buy there.

Just as an fyi, you can see their actual price for your local store on the website - that's how I figured out that Monster was a great deal for men - it easily pays for the yearly membership ($40)
