Just A Bit About My Very Favorite Place...

Sam's Club...... it has to be one of the overall best concepts EVER! For as long as I could remember, I was always a member but then funds got tight and one of the things that got cut from our budget was the Sam's membership. Then a couple of years ago, my dear, sweet, very thoughtful son earned money to treat me to a year of membership for Mother's Day (my heart just turned to mush over this amazing gift from a kid).... after the year ended, I had to let it drop again BUT now they've got a special running, 10 weeks for $10! Can I just say........OH YEAH!!! Started the special deal last week and got a few essentials, well I had to go back today but had to be very careful because I didn't have much money on me but do you even realize that milk is ONLY $2.81? Not only that, we love Nature's Own Bread in this household but when hubby payed a staggering $3.08 for a loaf of it at a nearby grocery store a few weeks back, I declared that we were abandoning it for a much cheaper brand.... to our joy, we can get TWO, yes I said, TWO loaves of it at Sam's for $3.62. Another huge bargain that you just can't pass up is the lunch meat there, you can get double packs for what the price of one will cost you now at the grocery store and even Walmart.... For the money that we're saving on that stuff, we can even indulge in a special treat such as a bulk box of Otis Spunkmeyer muffins **yummy**! Now on the downside, yes you have to be VERY, VERY careful because it just doesn't pay to buy some things at Sam's and it's so easy to get carried away there...... for example, I've had that huge, round tub of cheese puff balls on my mind but just can't see dropping over $6 for it instead we will continue to go with hubby's addiction of Utz chips since it's a huge family size bag for $3.52!!! Just like anywhere else, you can certainly do some comparison shopping and walk out with plenty of good deals. HERE'S TO SOME HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
