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

My mom gets a business membership through school for $30, and we split it every year.

I go there for the muffins and danish and the like for parties, bulk yeast and cheap spices. I occasionally find a deal on some clothing. The big tubs of Oxiclean are a relatively good deal, and I can never find a great deal on it elsewhere.

I also get my glasses there-- SO much cheaper than a lot of other places and I like the frames I got.

Their pizza is SO GOOD!

Ditto! And if you call ahead, they can cook it for you in their snack area. Easy easy!

A friend of mine does a lot of frying and buys her peanut oil at Sam's. She doesn't coupon, though, so I don't know if a couponer could get a better per-ounce price on it elsewhere with coupons.

Funny tidbit: When DH wants to make me mad he says he's going to the store to buy xxxxxx product. He says "I'm gonna buy it and pay full price!"

LMAO - Dh does the exact same thing. He bought mustard the other week and I almost died. I told him I had like 5 FREE mustards stockpiled. He said he looked but he couldn't find - said I must be hiding them from him.

I used to get my printer cartridges there, but now I get them at Office Max. Office Max takes used cartridges (up to 5 at a time) and you get $3 off per cartridge! I usually turn in 2 and buy a combo pack and it makes it cheaper than Sam's. A lot of times they have a special where you get something free when you buy a combo pack, too!

Hope that helps!!

They were right in front of his face, weren't they? My DH can never find that stuff that is hidden right out in the open, either.

We were at my in-laws and after about the fifth time my FIL asked where something was, I had to ask, "Do you live here?"

Wow, I'm really tempted to check out these places for ink cartridges. I have an Epson with DuraBrite inks, which I use for art-making purposes, because the ink is archival. I never use off-brand cartridges or cartridge filling because of the ink quality and because I have enough trouble with my printer without doing anything that might screw things up further. And OfficeMax does not take Epson cartridges for recycling.

We spend more than $35 each time we have to change all four cartridges, so if these warehouse stores offer a significant savings, it would be worth it just for ink cartridges alone. I guess I'll use one of those day passes for Sam's that they've had in Parade recently and check it out. Thanks for the tip!

We like to go there for fun! LOL. The kids have fun running around sampling all the food and then eating the pizza. The photo processing is cheap. They have good machines. My dad is a photographer and that is where he develops his stuff!! We also buy dh's chicken wings there (he can't go without them) and FF and some fruit/veggies, dh's shrimp and some meat. I also get the b-day cakes there. I don't know if I save enough to pay for the membership but if you are going to buy a big ticket item, it is worth it. We were looking for a entertainment center and they are so much nicer and higher quality for a better price, not much to choose from though. Also, the tvs are a great deal if you need one.
