  1. We buy a few staples routinely at Sams...I have found there are a few items that just rarely go on sale and I can rarely get enough coupons to make much difference. I am not convinced that the membership dues outweigh the savings, but my husband insists on keeping the membership so I might as well use it to my benefit. This week we picked up a large can of pizza sauce ( I freeze in smaller portions) laundry dtg. Ragu Sauce, humongous bag of popcorn kernals that will likely last us all year :) giant bags of frozen veggies.

  2. I'm not convinced that it's worth the membership fee either. Especially since we're 45 miles away. Although, we are in a small town so monthly we usually have to go there anyway.

    The big pack of veggies taste so much better than any other name brand that I've tried! I think they are called NorPac or something.

    The other great deal is the IAM's dog food.
