the cult of sam’s

My husband phoned me from work yesterday, and said I’d either be upset, or thrilled with what he’d done. Turns out, he needed some things from Sam’s Club, so he bought a membership for us. Upset? UPSET? Who could possibly be upset after you’ve just given them a pass for warehouse shopping? I can now buy 1 gallon jugs of ketchup and a family sized box of Advil!

Seriously, I wasn’t upset. I’ve been after him for years to renew our membership. We let it lapse when we moved away from the store, and now that we live near one again, I’m going to enjoy shopping there. It’s not the kind of place I can shop at every week, but they do have bargains from time to time. We have a family of 5, so we’re “big”, but not that big - I don’t need a gallon of ketchup. But I do stock up on the macaroni and cheese and Cheerios. Gas at the Sam’s Club was also 10 cents cheaper than the cheapest station in town. They usually have great cuts of meat at terrific prices. Ours even has a liquor store attached!

What are you favorite things to buy from a warehouse store?
