I love shopping at warehouse clubs! I don't know what is about them, but I love them. Even if I am on vacation (yes, even in Hawaii) and I find out there is a Costco...I have to go! I have also had to discipline myself on how many times I go there, as dropping $100 seems far to easy, but I am getting a deal...right? Not necessarily.
There are many things at warehouse clubs that are a deal, but there are many items that are not. Tip #1: One thing to consider when buying things in bulk at a warehouse club is, "Can I/we consume this before it goes bad?" Having to throw food away eliminates the deal. I ran across a blog that listed what items are consistently a better deal at Costco or Sams Club and are a good thing to stock up on. Click HERE to look at that list. I noticed that there are some things I buy at Costco that are not on the list, but in considering what to do, I decided that even though I may be spending a little more money, I am getting the quality I like and I will still continue to buy those items. Tip #2: Your personal quality preference is something that needs to be considered.
Although I was unable to find a comprehensive list of specific items to get at Sams Club, I think you can generally use the same list (Sams Club even sells some items cheaper). I did come across a price list that someone had come up with. Click HERE to get to her blog and the list can be found on the left sidebar.
Hope this info is helpful!

Perfect! This is exactly what I needed! I have realized that many things at Costco are not the great deal that I always thought they were. But some things I do love, and this will help me determine if they are worth it. Thanks so much!
