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'm falling for Sam,
