I have been asked at several of my workshops if I think Warehouse Clubs are worth it?
My answer, yes and no. I have a love/hate relationship with Sam's and Costco.
I do have a Costco membership and shop their about once a month.
So what do I buy? I DON'T ever buy toiletry, cleaning items there because I can get those for little to nothing at other places. I can't believe a razor kit cost almost $20 (or more) when I have bought most of my razors for nothing! I have seen people get caught up in the fun of it all but so many of those items can be bought so much cheaper by combing the right sale with a coupon.
I do get yeast, flour, spices, fruit, and sometimes cheese, chicken, ww bread, and chips. I find the prices are very reasonable there and sometimes much cheaper than I can get at the store, especially because there is rarely coupons for those things.
I also buy cheese sticks,fruit, various items for our lunch boxes, and found organic unsweetened applesauce for an incredible price. I also like their children's clothes too. They also have a good selection of organic items.
So, Warehouse clubs are not all bad just be careful what you buy. Have a plan and check the unit price to see if it would be cheaper to buy it at a non-warehouse club. Make a plan so you don't impulse buy (better yet, carry cash), and know what the non bulk item costs compared to the bulk.
You can always get a refund if you aren't satisfied at any time.What do you buy at your Warehouse club? Do you think it's worth it?
