;) Thank you everyone. I will be surprising you one day with a phone call Bov! :)

I have been posting from my phone which takes me directly to this thread. I almost missed Wharf's birthday, and would have been sad if I had! So happy I fired up the pc. ;)

Ha, ha! Tracy, I did surprise Bov with a phone call a few years back. I also surprised her MIL lol

Salem I remember and your call was very much appreciated!! That was during the hurricane that had us out of electricity for so long, and you called to make sure we were ok :wub: And believe it or not, MIL thought is was very sweet of you!

5'er, I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait a long time for me to get a web cam LOL! One of the biggest luxuries of the internet is not having to get dressed to talk to people :laugh: But I do thank you for the compliment!

I get really crappy reception on my cell in the house so I usually have to go outside to use it.

Evening everyone!

Oh Cool, Thanks Salem. I'm a coupon clipper and believe a penny saved is a penny earned.

We had a BJ's membership but we dropped it cause our Sam's is better here.

I find that if you break most of the stuff at Sams down to what you are paying per smaller size, sometimes the price comes out higher than grocery stores. I have actually seen stuff in Sams that was cheaper in Walmart buying the same amount in smaller sizes lol

There was an article on the net last year about watching prices in the warehouse stores.

I went to a warehouse store one day to shop and you couldn't get your shopping cart down the isle there were so many people. I do most of my shopping at Fred Meyers. They have OJ for $2.50 a gal. and I drink OJ like it's water. Also I get better prices on frozen foods and fresh fruits and veggies and I can get my cart down the isle.

Yep you do have to be careful, and if you can't save the price of your membership, then you get rooked. Gas here is 10 to 15 cents cheaper at BJ's than anywhere else. There are a few things that I can buy in bulk there that are worth it for me, especially since Katie paid half the $40 membership. Some of the biggest savings for me are my daily vitamins and fish oil. 300 fish oil 1200mg is only $10, women's multi vit & minerals 250 for $7.99. You just have to know your prices around town.

That's the other thing that I do not like about them. Walmart is the same way most times.

Yep, vitamins and minerals are less expensive at Sams as well. The nearest BJs or Costco is about 40 miles away and not worth the drive
