A Trip to SAMS

 

About once a quarter, my wife and I drive down to Knoxville to make bulk purchases at SAMS because it is cheaper.  Knoxville is about about 30 minutes away from where we live...

What we usually purchase is Toilet Paper, Kcups for McCafe, Pomegranate Juice, Box of frozen COD and Salmon, Turkey Burgers, Atkins Shakes, Raisin Bran, Pimento Cheese, Nuts, and any odds and ends that come to our minds, that are cheaper that WalMart.

It is interesting to know that SAMS is a storage warehouse for WalMart, but some items are cheaper at WalMart than at SAMS...  so, you cannot assume anything and check all prices.

Today after shopping we were going to go to Panera Bread for lunch...  possible a cup of potato soup and 1/2 Tuna sandwich...  but, as we walked by the instore cafe, we decided to get a hotdog and a drink and eat while we were there.

A hotdog and a 24oz drink cost us $1.40 each.  The hotdog was delicious...  just like a hotdog that you would buy at a baseball park.

One of the things that we like about SAMS is that when you go there on the weekends, there are vendors (not SAMS employees) giving away FREE FOOD.

So, for desert, we had 2 pieces of strawberry cheesecake and 1 serving of apple pie (which was about 2 bites)...

Filled up the drink before we left to have something to drink on the way home...

I am just wondering how many people get a SAMS card and go to SAMS everyday for lunch?
