So I have returned from Sams Club victorious! The grand total was $144.29. While this does shoot what I normally spend on a trip to the regular store in the foot (normally about $80-$90) I actually saved quite a bit off of regular prices. Most people will read this and say "Duh", but the amount I actually saved was quite suprising. Here's the break down:
- Basics: $74.49
- Home items: $36.28
- Indulgence: $5.84
- Side Dishes: $7.60
- Quick Meals: $9.71
- Cleaning Products: $0.00
- Coupons: $0.00
There were 2 cool things about this trip. Sams had 8 cfl bulbs for $10.86. This is only marginally more expensive than traditional bulbs at the regular stores I go to. CFL bulbs cost $3-$4 a bulb when I normally look. That was pretty cool. The second cool thing was how much I saved. I plugged the normal prices into the spreadsheet for the items I bought and the total was astounding: $249.44 That price blew me away. I would never consider paying that much at teh grocery store. I would most likely make 2 trips. I guess that is the biggest problem I had with Sams before this.
Whenever I would leave Sams, I would feel like I barely bought anything, but always have a bill over $100. I always knew I bought more than I thought I did, but it was usually demoralizing. Now after seeing that I saved over $100 buy shopping there, you better believe that I'll be heading there every 2 weeks now.
