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.
