So, I know what your thinking, it's only your & your wife why do y’all shop at Sam’s club. First of all y’all nosey! LOL naw, but in all seriousness, it’s a valid question. I mean ninety percent of the folks that shop at Sam’s Club, Costco, BJ’s, and any other big box stores like Sam’s is probably come from large families. Even if they’re not from a large family it probably not the norm for a married couple with no kids to be shopping at a store like Sam’s. To be completely honest we shop there for the same reasons most large families do, to save money. It's really simple. The major difference is unlike most families that shop at big box stores, the majority of the things we buy from Sam’s are cleaning, household supplies, some beauty produces vs groceries. Don’t get me wrong though when we get another house I’m so getting a deep freezer in order to get/shop those great deals on meat. The deals are great! But like I said we buy things we use on a daily basis. The price differences are crazy.

As you can clearly see by comparing it doesn’t make much sense for us to get certain items at our regular neighborhood grocery store. I would just be a total waste of our hard-earned money. Granted this is not what every shopping trip to Sam’s Club looks like. Wouldn’t that be amazing though? I wish we A) could afford it and b) had the room to store everything if we bought it all in one trip LOL. These are things we get thought the year. So couples with no kids heck single people! Don’t be smashed out of your blessings LOL don’t get shamed outta shopping at Sam’s or any other big box stores for that matter. Don’t cheat yourself treat yourself LOL. Until next time guys.
Saving money is always my goal. When the boys are home, we spend a lot of money on food. When it's just me and my hubby, we spend less..Sam's is our go to store especially during the summer. It makes so much financial sense.
Girl that’s a huge deal!!! I used to go to Sams all the time but felt overwhelmed whenever I got in there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you might make a believer again...
I sold! I used to shop at stores like this when I first got married and for some reason we stopped. However, I do see the value in shipping in bulk.
I love Sam’s club! My boyfriend and I shop there and since we started, we’ve saved so much money. I remember going to Walmart and buying soap every other week and it seemed like I was wasting so much money! Listen, getting that 3 or 4 pack for what you would pay for 2? Yes savings! I encourage everybody to get a Sam’s club card, it is definitely worth the membership!
Girl, you are not alone. It is just me and my husband and we go to coscto once a month for things we like to get in bulk like olive oil and frozen goods. Like you, I can't wait until we get a deep freezer. I like getting things in bulk for a good deal. those prices you listed looked really good! I've been sleep on sam's club. I need to start going
