So instead of going to Sam’s club, I was able to get the price of the most common things that we buy there from their website. It took a while, but I was able to do it on my couch while I watched Psych. I will print my list, and keep it the front of my coupon folder. I just have one of those small accordion files for coupons. It has a spot for a pen, and there is a small pad of paper at the top.
Below is my list. It has the prices at my Sam’s club listed to the side. The lowest prices are not listed here, and I will just write those into my printed list as I see them.
Now, I will clip my coupons each week. As I go through the different adds, I will take note of any items that I commonly buy, (these would be the same items that I would clip coupons for if I see them). Then I will compare the sale list to the coupons I have, and decide which items to buy. They must be cheaper than the price at Sam’s. The prices at Sam’s are only for the quantities that I would actually buy at Sam’s. They have 5 lb blocks of cheese for $2.43/lb, but I can’t eat 5 lbs of cheese before it goes bad, I don’t have a food saver, and I don’t want to freeze it. But they do have 2lb blocks of cheese. Those will get eaten.
This list is effective 3/25/2013. I know this list is subject to change, even at my own club, but I have to have a base line. This is it. My verson is in Word, so that I can make changes to it. When I print it, I try to make sure that I can fold it in half, top to bottom. Some of these prices can never be beat at Kroger, or Meijer. The problem with a warehouse club, it's not for small families, and we spend $200 everytime we go there.
