An arch made entirely of shopping carts...pretty cool, but not in my backyard!! I wonder what the neighbors think.

So, have you ever joined a club? Don't you love being part of one? Most people do. Why did it take us years & years to join one? I don't know.
Maybe it was the fact that ours was a little over 45 minutes away or the fact that we had no clue it would actually save us so much money. It's Sam's Club...or Costco, or BJ's, which ever you prefer. We thought Sam's had better prices over-all, but Costco had more selection, but with a membership fee that was $20 more than Sam's. There is no BJ's around here so I'm not familiar with their prices.
Shopping there (finally) has saved more than paid for our membership cost. Just buying the staples like toilet paper, paper towels & detergent gives us huge savings! Costco has, according to Consumer Reports, the best battery on the market at the lowest price of almost any battery out there. It's their store brand.

You can find so many great deals there so it's worth your while & your membership fee even if you only go once a month.
So if you haven't already, you might want to seriously consider taking the plunge.

  1. I seriously need to consider Sams or Costco. I just cannot stand shopping. Birdie, I think I'm missing an X chromasome. I'd rather gouge my eyeballs out. I don't know how we get by! I get our tp at dollar general. We rarely us paper plates, don't ever use paper towels (we use microfiber rags at the dinner table), and we occasionally use paper napkins from dollar general.

    I buy all of our cleaning products from walmart or DG. I could probably save money on these things alone by going to costco or Sams.

    :sigh:

    Ours are at least a 30-45 minute drive.

    We'll see.

    My money saving tip is...thrift store, thrift store, thrift store. I have found more good clothes, craft supplies, toys, etc, than I ever imagined. :0)
