I'm falling for Sam,

November 19th, 2010 at 05:16 pm


as in Sam's Club. I made my second "big" trip to Sam's Club yesterday with my mother. She is the rightful owner of the membership and pays with her Discover card. I have until the due date on the Discover card payment to settle the bill.

There is something satisfying about buying in bulk. (I head up the family that goes through one gallon of milk a day.) We also consume copius amounts of fruit and yogurt and cereal on a daily basis.

Yesterday I spent a total of $230. $20 of that was for birthday presents for my girls (the cutest colorful sock monkeys with a portion of the proceeds going to St. Jude's), $9 in clothing (socks for DH), $10 for a small turkey for our Thanksgiving, $15 in dog food, $54 was food for my daughters' party ($10 meatballs, $30 Italian beef, $4 for chips, and $14 for beer), the remaining, with the remaining $110 on dairy/produce/baking staples/household items.

There is something to be said about being efficient and organized, as I certainly was this second time around. It took about an hour from leaving my house to returning home with another 15 minutes for put away/storage.

Certainly accomplishing a lot in a short period of time leads to a feeling of personal productivity.

    I heart Sam's club myself. Of course what I usually got there was vegeburgers (Boca), cat food, cat litter, and either Fiber One bars or Quaker Oats granola bars. I haven't shopped there in a long time.

    We have Costco. We shop weekly for certain items. DH likes to go around looking for reduced items, he buys one, we try it and if we like it he goes and buys more. Most recently it was pesto french bread individual pizzas for $3.97 for 8! They are yummy and just right with a bowl of soup for a light dinner.
