That’s right, we caved in and bought a Sam’s Club membership today since they were having a half price special for the new store in Bloomington. Actually the store doesn’t open until April 3rd, so we bought the membership out of a trailer in the nearby Wal-Mart parking lot. After fighting the chaos of the other bargain hunters and paying our $17.50 we headed to Apple Valley to use our new cards.
Everything is bigger in Sam’s Club from the 25 pack of pigs ears for Kozmo to the 2.5 pound bag of Starbucks Coffee to the 16 pack of Zest. But it’s buyer beware since some items really aren’t a deal, they’re just overinflated prices in bigger packages. Take Tide for example, it’s basically the same price whether you buy one big bottle or three small bottles.
I’m not sure we’ll save any money by shopping at Sam’s Club over the next year, but at least we’ll have big bags of stuff!
