Bulk Buying

 We take some time out of the day, once every other month or so to drive twenty-five south to SAMS Club and buy as much as we can in bulk.  There is a membership fee to shop there but the savings offsets the fee plus we are usually up to the good by the end of the year, plus every once in a while they have sales and we make a point of going there then as well whether we need something or not.

We typically buy:

• Toilet tissue
• Kleenex
• Paper towels
• Raisin Bran
• Coffee Pods
• Virgin Olive oil
• Captain's Crackers
• Frozen breaded cod
• Frozen wild Alaskan salmon
• Turket burgers
• Ketchup
• Salad dressings
• Mixed nuts
• Cans of: tuna,  chicken, beef, corn, beans, diced potatoes, etc.
• Frozen bags of:  broccoli, corn, peas, limas, etc

You have to be careful because sometimes it is cheaper to buy the smaller cans at WalMart than at SAMS.

Gas is also cheaper - anywhere from five cents to ten cents per gallon which is better than Buc-ee's gas prices.

Everytime we go down there, we go around noon so we can have lunch.  An all beef hotdog/bun with a 32 oz drink is $1.40 and if you want a slice of meat lover's pizza it is $2.50/slice but the slice is 1/4 of a whole pizza which is a great deal.  A full pizza is $8.88.
