The Stanley you haul around for you wife was "made with toxins." Tell your wife to leave all those mommy facebook groups, they're turning you into a wuss.

Apeel and it’s formulation is actually a spray with metal that binds to the skin and does not wash off. We will be consuming more metals. SAY NO TO APEEL and any product that originates from Bill and Malinda Gates. The information is out there. You just have to do your homework.

For me, it's worth it.
Savings on pool chlorine by itself pays off the membership.
Also try to get all my gas there.

My experience is limited as I mainly use the one closest to my house but have visited Sams in other states and seems to be the same everywhere. One in AZ had the exit configured in which it was an even shorter walk out once you made the loop around the store. Almost like an express fast path if you used scan and go.

We’ve had it and Costco at various times and always end up canceling it because it never seems like we use it enough
We’re only a family of three and shop way more day-to-day than bulk buy and meal prep though

Our youngest kid is about to move out, and she's never home now, so it's mostly just me and my wife. We still find value in getting things like laundry detergent, paper towels, trash bags, drinks, Advil, shampoo, olive oil etc. We basically only buy perishable food at Rouses or wherever.
Anything with a decent shelf life comes from Costco.

I live by myself and Sam’s/bulk purchases are still with it. Now that I’m divorced no one is going to question me for buying and freezing 10 lbs or ribeyes and throwing a pallet of dryer sheets in the 4th bedroom we’ve never used!

Don't go to sams for grocery savings. Go to sams for gas savings.

Even things like tires. My last set on my truck was $200 cheaper at Costco than anywhere else I could find.

We use it when we go to the ranch because we typically have a bunch of people and it’s an hour each way to go grocery shopping. So we hit Sam’s on the way in. I hardly ever use it in Houston unless we’re having a party and I need to buy in bulk.

Get the Sam’s master card as well. Get 5% back on gas, 3 on food and 1 on everything else.

Sams cash is legit. I get $300 a year or more.

The pizza and hot dog combo aren’t too bad plus a decent pretzel for dessert.

Was a member at both and Costco >> Sams.
But if Sams is your only option, still worth it especially if you have kids.
We usually go to Costco once every 2 weeks, spend $400-$500 and make a trip to trader joes or a smaller grocer if we need something in between.
Otherwise I'd spend $300-$350 at a regular store for maybe a weeks worth of grocery

You can add a member for free, so find a non-member and split the membership cost with that person. Cheaper for everyone

I never buy there because it's better and cheaper at Citgo

Two prime NY strips are about $22. You will have a hard time finding better quatliy meat, and it you do, it will cost a lot more.

I save enough on gas every year to more than pay for the membership.
